Movie -script stretched out, cheap comedy.

Scene's don't make sense in relation to each other. Makes it as if you could skip forwards. Wonder if the cast would watch it again after the premiere. Two and a half hours long lagged Malayalam movie

Don't understand how people just rate this movie so high -boost is the secret .

I Wouldn't recommend this one just "avial paruvam." Poor casting unwanted additions and scenes making it lag the whole entire movie. Lot of scenes could have been edited/avoided. If watching have the remote cause you will not loose much forwarding it .

Two stars for. Grace Antony's acting.

A waste of time and money
pandthu25 October 2023
I am giving this movie one star because it is a complete waste of time and money. The movie is supposed to be a political satire, but it is neither funny nor insightful. The plot is weak and the characters are underdeveloped. The acting is mediocre, and the direction is uninspired.

The movie starts off with a promising premise. A young man named Dineshan is a communist who is disillusioned with the political system. He meets a young woman named Grace who is a devout Catholic. The two of them fall in love, but their different beliefs create conflict.

Unfortunately, the movie quickly falls apart. The plot is full of clichés and predictable twists. The characters are one-dimensional and their motivations are unclear. The acting is wooden, and the direction is bland.

The movie's attempts at humor are mostly unsuccessful. The jokes are either too obvious or too offensive. The movie also makes some insensitive comments about religion and politics.

Overall, Padachone Ingalu Katholi is a disappointing movie. It is a waste of time for anyone who is looking for a good political satire.

Specific criticisms:

The plot is weak and predictable.

The characters are underdeveloped and one-dimensional.

The acting is mediocre.(ann sheetal should quit acting and only fly drones)

The direction is uninspired.

The jokes are mostly unsuccessful.

The movie makes some insensitive comments about religion and politics.

I would not recommend this movie to anyone. It is a waste of time and money.

Had potential to be a good political comedy/satire but loose plot and insensitive and weak dialogues on religious practices brings it down
ashtamidevi4 November 2023
Oh I had so much expectations from this movie! I loved Sreenath Bhasi in Bheeshmaparvam and Kumbalangi and some of his other less-known movies too. His acting was okay...I would give it 3.5. Grace is really good. But man, the story.

When it began in a party village in Kannur, everything was working. It was authentic. Although even then there were some loose strings but we can overlook it. However, cut to when the other heroine enters the scene...from then the movie lacks direction. Though it tries to get the viewers excited for a Right wing vs Left wing drama, it falls flat. What then follows is a mockery of astrologlical practices. Don't get me wrong. Even though I am a devout Hindu, I can take a joke if delivered well :) But this was crass. The team clearly hasn't done good research on some of the best astrologers in Kerala. They obviously may not be completely accurate in their predictions, but considering the number of other religion people that visit them I can tell you they get a lot of their shiz right.

So when you mock them, you got to do it well and have to back it with solid research. Otherwise, what lies in front of you is a movie that is in a way offensive, neither funny, and extremely boring.

I would still ask you to watch this movie once just to get the feel of how a Communist stronghold village in Kannur is. For a lot of us South Keralites, it is really interesting.

Super Movie Fun Ride

Helmed by the director Bijith Bala, 'Padachone Ingalu Katholi' is touted to be a political satire with several humorous and emotional elements. The film featured the actors Sreenath Bhasi, Grace Antony, Ann Sheetal, and Hareesh Kanaran in pivotal roles. The film is a fun ride with several interesting performances from the leads. One of Padachoneingalukatholee is a hilarious fun ride to be enjoyed in theatres. SrinathBhasi The movie which was released today is getting good reports from Kerala audiences. Humorous Hilarious mind-blowing story told in a Avery subtle way. The movie just worked out very well for Kerala audience.

Very Engaging Entertainer

The film was first brought to the audience's attention by the curiosity of the name 'Padachone Ingal Katholi'. The name of the movie attracted the audience because of the ever laughable dialogue in Malayalam, which brings to mind the voice of Kuthiravattam Pappu. It was certain that Padachone Katholi would be an satirical comedy film. The promotional materials also confirmed that the film would be a laugher. In any case, the sight of 'Padachone Imah Katholi' when it arrived at the theaters also fulfilled all the expectations. The film is reminiscent of the current developments in Kerala and makes you laugh. The film brings a serious topic to interesting discussion.

Very Good Storytelling
b-7324725 November 2022
As the name suggests, the film starts with the famous dialogue of Kuthiravattom Pappu. Directed by Bijit Bala, Srinath Bhasi starrer Patachon is sure to attract Catholic audiences. Comrade Dinesan, who was born in a party village and firmly believes in communist values, is the hero of the film. A girl comes into his life which leads to party events and teaching career. The film is made in such a way as to appeal to the family audience, with an emphasis on humor and songs. The director has definitely succeeded in establishing what the film wants to say and the plot with satire. Overall a must watch movie in today's time.

Blockbuster Political Comedy
c-66337-3777125 November 2022
Even those who firmly believe in the progressive political movement that opposes superstitions and superstitions, many say that if they stumble a little in life, they cry out to God. This time Tiny Hands Productions has come up with a full-length satirical film "Padachone Inal Katholi" that satirizes such a subject. The film, which features a hero who is not at peace not only in life but even in his dreams, and a heroine who is obsessed with superstition, mercilessly trolls some contemporary events. The film is directed by Bijith Bala, who is famous as a film editor in Malayalam. A very important sociological causes wrapped in humour.

Must Watch in Theatres

Dinesan is a masha at a school in a village called Chintamangalam in northern Kerala. More than a school mash, Dinesan is also a comrade who has revolutionary blood flowing through his veins. Dinesan, who implemented many progressive ideas in the school including gender neutral uniform, is much loved by his fellow teachers and students. But one after the other suffering and misery followed Dinesan without leaving. Indu, Kerala Kumaran, Giri, Gund Saji, etc. Are the constant companions of Dinesan Mash. Opposition leaders like Nelliil Chandran and Unnimon are also active in the area, who go to polls on foot and on foot.
