Review of Pappy Appacha

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 films depicting the father-son combos in Malayalam. They have built up a business world consisting of hospital, school, bar and many institutions. Kavya Madhavan (Anne) appears as a new teacher in the 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 Madhavan plays the role of a school teacher Annie in this movie run by the father and the 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.

Dileep and his mannerisms are given more importance rather than 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.

Suresh Krishna and Asokan did a good job as villains. 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.
