Dileep-Jeethu Joseph's much awaited film "Life of Josutty" hit theatres on Thursday, 24 September, as a Bakrid treat to Kerala audience.
The film, which is the second outing of the actor-director duo after the hit film "My Boss" in 2012, is one of the most expected family entertainers of the year.
Asif Ali's "Kohinoor" is set to lock horns with "Life of Josutty" at the Malayalam box office. However, Mammootty's "Pathemari", which was scheduled to be released on Thursday has been postponed.

#LifeOfJosutty 3/5. Mixed bag. Great first half but #JeethuJoseph slips post interval, as the story plods with a contrived feel good climax. #Dileep fantastic as he chronicles life and times of hero. New girls Rachana & Jyothi r adequate with Harish standing out. Great Kerala lush green locations in Idukki district looks better than NewZeland countryside, fab camera & very good DI. #Jeethu has tried out an autobiographical story with family sentiments & no twists or turns. Give me #Drishyam any day. PS - #JeethuJoseph in his interviews had made it clear that #LifeOfJosutty a family story should not be compared to #Drishyam a thriller.

#LifeOfJosutty is lifelessjosutty, half baked story narration and unimaginative screenplay from @jeethu007 spoils the movie big time.

Had a beautiful voyage through the #LifeOfJosutty. Plenty of emotions.. Dileep excels as Josutty.. Simply a life.. Loved it.. Cinematography of the movie is excellent.. Scenic beauty.. Beauty of Kerala in first half and New Zealand in the second half. #LifeOfJosutty

#Lifeofjosutty(2/5) is overly stretched & lacks d emotional depth.Narrative structure wasn't much impressive and movie seemed 2 be focusless. Story plot Has some similarities too with balachandra menons vivahithare ithile and renjiths kadal kadannoru mattukutty.

Thoroughly disappointed with Jeethu Joseph's #LifeOfJosutty. Renjith's 'Kadal Kadannoru Mathukutty' was slightly better
Saneesh Sadhanandhan
