Latest malayalam movie “Pappy Appacha” is directed by Mammas. It is another picture of shrewd and notorious father son duo played by Dileep and Incent. There had been many movies depicting the father-son combos in Malayalam. They have built up a business world consisting of hospital, school, bar and many institutions. Annie (Kavya Madhavan) plays as a teacher who was appointed in their school. Annies father is a social activist. She raised her voice against the dishonest deeds of Paappy (Dileep) and Appachan (Incent).
They carry on by rolling funds and when they face a real shortage, they resort to insurance fraud.
Kavya is teacher in the shcool run by the father and son. Annie had besotted Paappy ( Dileep). Both had a dispute while they were in school after Pappi played a prank on her in school. Annie’s decision to contest election against son changes the plot and things start rolling from there.
The film seems to concentrate on Dileep and his mannerisms rather on the story. There are comedy scenes that one finds it very hard to digest. Dileep’s role as a son, and hero is quite impressive but his unnecessary jokes and gestures makes it a bit boring. Kavya’s role as a school teacher is outstanding. But this time their chemistry hasn’t clicked well.
All others in the cast including the villain role played by Suresh Krishna and Asokan, who plays a rich man, are ok. Music is directed by Vidyasagar and the movie by Mammas. The movie is to attract mainly children with the comedy and Dileep’s mannerisms. But as far as adults are concerned, it may be hard to digest.
Main Cast: Dileep, Kavya Madhavan, Suresh Krishna, KPAC Lalitha, Asokan, Rajeev, Kochupreman, Majeed Edavanakad, Manikandan, Chembil Asokan, Thesni Khan, Manju Raghavan and others
