Shaky and doesn't manage to appeal as much as it could have. The film shifts its tone from that of a romantic drama to a thriller after a while, something that one doesn't usually associate with Adoor's films. Adoor Gopalakrishnan has tried to draw our attention to the fact that greed is dangerous and how it can impact the lives of a few seemingly simple individuals with middle class aspirations. But then an unexpected series of incidents goes on turn their lives upside down. Things seem to change for the better when Purushothaman lands a job in the Gulf, leading initially to some much needed joy and cheer in their lives. They live along with their daughter in her family home, where her father Pappu Pillai (Nedumudi Venu), a retired school teacher and her brother (Indrans), a perennially sick man also live. Purushothaman is jobless and spends his time trying to apply for positions and attending interviews while Devi is a teacher who runs the household.

Theirs was a love marriage but then today circumstances are such that their married life is in a state of disarray. The film talks of Purushothaman Nair (Dileep) and his wife Devi (Kavya Madhavan). Pinneyum is a love story a tad old fashioned and spread over a long period of time. Naturally I was quite eagerly looking forward to the film and was quite astonished to see a good turnout for my show over the weekend. Pinneyum also sees Adoor working with Dileep for the first time, similarly the film sees popular Marathi actor, Subodh Bhave making his Malayalam debut. Aided by a supporting co-producer, Baby Mathew Somatheeram this is also perhaps the first time than an Adoor film has received a wide Pan India release (with English subtitles) making it more accessible to people. Perhaps the longest gap in his illustrious career so far, Pinneyum marks his foray into digital filmmaking, something that he had never attempted so far. It's after a long gap of 8 years that the legendary filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan has returned with a film, Pinneyum. Review Pinneyum & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submit
