There are numerous comedy films which have been served left & right to us in the past few months and most of them were just trash and disaster at the box office. MB is a little different from them all because the director seems to be in dilemma while making it.
Jithu Joseph mixes the film and tries to capture two genres, one is Comedy and the other is a Social Drama. Like his earlier venture “Mummy n me”, the director seems to love Social Dramas and therefore tries to incorporate that element too in the movie which otherwise is promoted as a pure comedy. But sadly both the elements fall flat and the final product is not that amusing for the viewers.
The film is set in the backdrop of the IT industry. The film follows Manu Varma (Dileep) who's hired as the executive assitant in a leading firm in Bombay who aspires to migrate to a foreign country while Priya Nair (Mamta), his boss, an Indian born Australian citizen has visa problems at a time when she has the opportunity to get a promotion. That’s the storyline which has a feel of Dejavu too. Not exactly but a similar kind of storyline was there in “The Proposal” featuring Ryan Reynolds which was too an inspired movie itself.
The movie starts off as a comedy in first half and turns into a drama in the second half. That is the most unimpressive part of the script. Only Dileep & Mamtha Mohandas manage to give some good scenes and rest all are just filling their parts.
Musically the songs have some good beat and hip-hop pattern but not all are memorable enough. “Enthinennariyilla” is the best song in the movie with some good singing.
Summing up, its neither a good comedy nor an entertaining social drama. The movie gets confused within the two plots and that’s what makes it unimpressive. It is expected that Jithu Joseph, with so much experience of Mollywood, must come up with a good product next time.
