Rating 5.5/10.
Director Vipin Das who was famous for his previous movie "Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya he" tried to come up with a nice comedy subject through this movie. Even though few comedy numbers of first half clicked in the first half, most of the comedy track didn't work for me. Deepu Pradeep, who wrote kunjiramayanam script have a good thread here in Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil, but cannot say a well crafted script. Movie started well with scenes between Prithviraj and Basil, but slowly fell into non engaging mode. Director and script tried to follow the pattern of old super hit priyadarshan movies here especially in second half, but was not engaging and not at all connecting well. Visuals of Neeraj Ravi was in good combination with editing work of Johnkutty , as per movie demands . Expected music bits in the genre of "nee kannodu kannodu kannoramayi" from Ankit Menon in this movie, but not upto the mark anywhere in this movie.
Prithviraj, Basil, Nikhila, Anaswara and all lead actors did justice to their role as per script demands along with few new social media influencers. Basil and Prithviraj initial scenes was too good, but can't do much from their side with a weak script while moving forward. Prithviraj being involved as producer of the movie have marketed well like how he did for his recent past movies like kaduva. This will save the movie from failure in box office. The way Prithviraj is marketing his average movies to success resembles how Dileep marketed his average movies to success and how Antony Perumbavur marketed Mohanlals average movies in early 2Ks to success.
Overall, Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is a watchable movie in ott, where we have on option to fast forward.
