Madanolsavam (Odyssey) is a quirky little family drama centered around a naivete. He's an average Joe and lives with his aunt. Things take a turn and change his life forever when he gets embroiled in a conspiracy unbeknownst to his knowledge. There are shoots of humour in the film that has characters eerily familiar to us in Kerala, yet with fresh writing that has become the backbone of Malayalam cinema in recent years. Suraj V is phenomenal as the central character but I was more amused by Babu Anthony's role here, which has a similarity with a real-life person prominent in Kerala. Although the film meanders in the middle, it manages to hit the right spot at the end. A good watch.
