‘Kudumbasree Travels ‘is a movie which makes you smile from start to end.It’s a rather light hearted movie with a simplistic storyline.Aravindan(Jayaram) is a chakiyarkoothu artist hailing from a tharavadu of koothu artists. He is in the lookout for a girl to marry, but in one condition that the girl must be a Nangiarkoothu artist.His uncle, played by Jagathy Sreekumar, wants him to marry his daughter.After much search Aravindan finds one in Aswathy, a city girl hailing from Mullassery family and the marriage is fixed.The marriage crew sets off for the function in a bus named ‘Kudumbashree Travels’, which thereafter is a prominent figure in the entire story.Meanwhile a young girl (played by Radhika) becomes part of the journey, but she is there with a mission.The rest of the movie mostly happens in the bus.
Jayaram has nothing much to do in the whole film and he shines whenever given a chance.Bhavana too has nothing much to do other than to pose as a bridegroom, most of the time. The rest of the cast have done a decent job.Kiran and Thomas Tthoppilkody have been able to interestingly weave a story around simple incidents which keeps your interest alive in most parts.The technical side is also impressive with Murali Raman and V T Sreejith doing good jobs in camera and editing. A couple of songs by Bijipal are passable while the BG scores are more impressive.
On the whole, ‘Kudumbasree Travels’ is a time-pass fare which offers an interesting watch.
