Mohanlal is an amazing actor, the least I can say. He is very natural actor and looks effortless on screen. This makes him an actor of a separate league. Thoovanathumbikal just asserts this fact. It’s a very simple, still little complex, Malayalam movie about love and is primarily woven around one single character Jayakrishnan played by Mohanlal himself.
Jayakrishnan is an outspoken flamboyant person who takes pleasure in making his friends happy. He can do anything for his friends, literally. His friends appreciates this and can happily pay back. He falls in love with a young girl Radha, who rejects him thinking him to be a nuisance. On insistence of a friend, he meets a girl Clara who wants to join prostitution to support her family. They make love and he finds that Clara was a virgin. Jaya made a promise that if ever he takes virginity of a girl, he will marry her. Slowly, he falls in love with Clara and decides to marry her. But Clara leaves. Radha comes to know about Jaya's truth and falls for him. One day, Jaya gets a mail from Clara... Now what will happen?
The production value of movie is not spectacular... Characterization is. Padmarajan's beautiful story and amazing direction makes it a quality movie. Actors played their role very subtly. The songs are beautiful. The presentation of 'rain' as a character is interesting and adds value to the story. It reminds me of Kalidasa's Meghdoot.
