Excellent adaptation.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Lal Jose has come back with his story about relationships & characters & in here he tries to evince how relationships matter to everyone in a very lousy way.Dileep's character is getting married to his muse in 7 days and so, throws a bachelor party in which I don't know how or why even people come with their wives & eventually even the bride gatecrashes in. Then things go haywire when Dileep meets his ex-girlfriend in an inebriated state. Then, the plot loses its credibility as character start behaving like they are doing some crime but seemingly are not. They choose steps which are bound to lead to bizarre consequences. And just in time, the writers introduce spies & unnecessary characters (Sooraj V, etc.)Rima Kallingal failed to impress me but the real disappointment comes from Dileep whose slapstick made me barf. The CGI associated to his funny acts are so cheap & lowbrow, I think he should just stop. While I may have chuckled few times, the whole story is something of a terrible, avoidable melodrama.In an attempt to bring in suspense, Lal Jose tries very hard to set his cards right but fails. Because the audience cannot connect with the characters. Commonplace dialogs & increased use of digital art as a backdrop makes it a rather shoddy work on new wave cinema. It tries to speak of adultery but then realizes what it meant is nothing related to adultery. Funny, eh?BOTTOM LINE: If you have free weekend, rent a DVD if it is less than 40 and try to laugh along to the very few comic points. And if you were expecting romance, forget about it. Watchable!

When I finally got down to see the movie I checked the cast and the crew.Lal Jose-Dileep partnership usually brings something good.Here though the basic plot line is noble one-to ponder in to todays relationships which lacks depth, the execution was to every extend a weak one.there is not a moment where we feel for the character.The whole "issue" which starts the whole drama is so absurd and pointless that the whole movie we wonder-REALLY?? The comedy scenes in the movie are so unimaginative that the audience is expected to laugh at cartoon like steam blowing out of the nose and ears. The marketing of products is so deliberate that it is hard to imagine if Lal Jose did this for the money or he actually believed in the script, which is very low in imagination.The director who gave Classmates has never touched that sublime moment after that. Rima has done a fair job with what she was given.Dileep was just OK.Tini and ashok though a small part did what is expected of them.Bottomline:-Don't watch the movie with the expectation that you can take away much from it.

Ezhu Sundara Rathrikal (ഏഴു സുന്ദര രാത്രികൾ) is a sequence of unpredictable events that unfolds during a course of seven days and nights of a bridegroom-in-waiting. It depicts how his life is tossed over when he happens to meet his ex-flame once again before his D'day.Aby Mathew (Dileep) is an ad film-maker who is about to marry his model Ann (Parvathy Nambiar). Aby throws a bachelors party for his bunch of friends viz. Abid (Harishree Ashokan), Franco (Tiny Tom), Daisy (Praveena) and a few others just seven days before the marriage. Through Abid, Aby learns of his ex-flame Sini's (Reema Kallinga) presence in the same city with whom he had a fall-out just a few days before their marriage. An inebriated Aby decides to go to Sini to invite her for his marriage. Sini talks high of her husband Alex (Murli Gopy), a boxer, with whom she has a son as well. Aby also boasts of his fiancée. The events take an ugly turn when Aby and Sini's paths cross again and again. The duo sets out hazy attempts to retrace their steps and discover where things go wrong. But the audience gets clueless till almost the end of the movie in connecting various events happening. The script falls flat in terms of justifying why a character is behaving in a particular manner. There is a hurried attempt at the last 15 minutes of the movie which seems to project forced connections amongst various people and events.Director Lal Jose tries to explore the hollowness of relationships in this movie but somewhere gets lost in the maze of people entangled in the same. Cinematography by Pradessh Varma is good in certain frames. Music disappoints. Overall, the movie and its subject could have been handled in a much better manner.
