X (Twitter) review: Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil praised
The microblogging site X (formerly Twitter) is filled with reviews for the movie. While some are praising the movie’s plot, others are in awe of Prithviraj Sukumaran and Basil Joseph’s acting skills. An X user penned how the movie is “rocking” and funny. The user wrote, “Fun Filled First half. Prithviraj & Basil Joseph Combo is rocking together & most of the comedies work. Going slow at few places, but not a major drawback. Azhagiya Laila song placement. Superb interesting interval Point.”
Another user wrote, “Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is a full fun entertainer from Vipin Das. Prithviraj steals the show, Prithvi – Basil combo was the highlight of the movie and all the cast was excellent through the film. Another Blockbuster loading from Malayalam in 2024.”
A third one penned, “Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil shines brightly as a family entertainer! Prithviraj’s winning streak persists with an impeccable first half followed by a commendable second half.” “Basil’s performance shines, contributing to consummate entertainment. Don’t miss this cutie!”
One of the users highlighted what did not work in the movie. “Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil is an enjoyable movie. There are no real laugh riots, but the sarcasm works. Its a story of a group of toxic men deciding what’s right & wrong for themselves & women around them. Some of its humour is around what they do, but works well when its on them.”
Watching the Malayalam comedy’s box office collection would be interesting following the positive reviews.
