Shanti Krishna makes a commendable comeback as Sheela, and Sharafudheen is responsible for the few genuine laughs. The actor sticks to his comfort zone of carefree antics, never stepping out of the range of expressions he can handle. Kurien, the relaxed, light-hearted youth, is a character tailor-made for Nivin. The girl informs him that her mother will be around somewhere crying and Nivin gives her his famous, clueless face asking 'what happened?' That moment precisely defines Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela, a film that zooms into dysfunctional families, insensitive kids who need a real shocker to get out of their self-indulgent reverie. The heroine's father is undergoing cancer treatment, and the hero is there for his mother's chemo session. In one of the post-interval scenes, we meet two carefree youngsters at a hospital. Njandukalude Natiil Oridavela is the story of Sheela, mother of Kurien (Nivin Pauly), Mary (Srinda) and Sarah (Ahaana Krishna). She is diagnosed with cancer. There are times when the film moves into the territory of an awareness video, but he deftly navigates it back.
He also proves that you don't need oodles of reel time to make a character tick. You will find a kind of soft, subtle detailing, through which he maintains the realism. Althaf Salim, the debutant director, knows his craft, and has tried to tell his story with fact and feeling in equal measures.
