The trailer of Puthan Panam hints at the struggles faced by Mammootty's character Nithyananda Shenoy and many others, who had black money when the historic announcement was made. Apart from the storyline that audience can easily connect to, the trailer and teasers of the action thriller have raised expectations due to the megastar's versatility in acting.

#Puthanpanam ... Apart from Ranjiths diverse character sketch, the film lacked soul and a proper script :-( :-(

Strictly Average Movie #PuthanPanam Voice Modulation @mammukka Extremely Brilliant Climax Heavy Punch' Awesome Comeback from Ranjith!

AJ Valiyaveetil

Puthan Panam can be described as an average movie in all manner which tells the problem of currency demonetisations. The story revolves around the issues of Black Money. The story tell about a Shenoy who is a rich business man and the movie portray his struggles to tackle black money and when he comes to Kochi for a purpose he gets into a trouble. A teenage Tamil boy named Muthu also comes into his life and rest of the story tells the struggling life of Shenoy and the life of teenage boy.

The Direction by Ranjith Sir was good but the story was not much interesting, it was just ok, the story was not having much factors for creating thrilling moments and the screenplay could have been done much more better. A logic less scene in the movie was the main drawback, how could a boy who is studying in 5 or 6th class can shoot an Italian pistol, it's a serous doubt and the climax stunt it was good.

Coming to the casting Mammootty who played the role of Shenoy was good looking and did an outstanding job. Mammootty handled the Kasargode language brilliantly. He is back again with a new stunning look. The teenage Tamil boy who played the role of Muthu did a brilliant job. As a newcomer he did an outstanding job. Siddique who played the role of a police officer also did a good job. Mammukoya, Hareesh Perumanna, Biju Pappan did a good supporting job and their humour scenes were also good. Iniya, Niranjana Anoop and Ganapathi also did their respective roles perfectly. Most of the actors handled the Kasargode language brilliantly. Vishak Nair and Kottayam Nazeer cameo appearance was also good.

The cinematography by Om Prakash was good, he captured the Kochi in a good way. The Music by Shaan Rahman was also good. The title song was melodious, the song in the second half was ok but it was unwanted. The BGM by Achu Rajamani was perfect, he maintained a good serious thrill through his music.

So overall Puthan Panam was an average experience for me, when Renjith Sir comes up with direction and team up with Mammootty the expectation was high but the final result was average.
Puthan Panam is not a Renjith Sir classic, this movie shows his commercial style. My Personal Rating 5/10

nice movie , good story. well acted mammukka.worth for money. another hit from mammukka, must watch good direction , very orginality in acting . everyone acted perfectly

Awesome Class + Mass movie... A complete package for Vishu... Ranjithettan's greatest comeback + Mammookka's Kasargod style really worked out. It will be a trendsetter in Kerala for sure... Must watch for this awesome thrilling surprise hit.

its wot a a actor means .. mammoty tried a level best to be a ksd shenoy.. movie have a super social releavent stry..but the best thing is.. mammoty acting

Why is such a talented director like Ranjith doing this type of films...mammottika failed to impress us with acting skills but he excelled in the usage of kasargode dialect. The movie is simply filled with too much of characters. The movie doesn't even have a proper storyline. Completely failed to make us laugh in comedy scenes.Also I don't won't suggest people to watch this movie with family(too much usage of dirty language).Totally Disappointed .Rating:2.3/10

After Pranchiyettan, Mammooka and Ranjith compo PERFECT.nMust watchable movie. EXCELLENT MOVIE (Come back of RANJITH ).nnothing to say about Mammootty sir perfomance,just awesome.

expectation was damn high due to renjith and the trailer give s more intrest but the film is below average and story lags as the film is not up to the mark the family audience wil not acept movie like this .the thread of the story good but the dop was good naration was not up to the mark

Mammootty-renjith combo..back again with a good movie..Good camera work.Good BGM. Good performance of actors. The little boy is a promising actorAnd Mammootty shake again after great father...

Watched puthanpanam...a good class movie by ranjith eetan..fights scenes are good..the script is done best..also direction..hats off ranjith sir..a good come back by him..new different variety of comedies..the look of mammukka is mass...no words to say..only one thing to say who are going to watch the movie..dont compare this movie to TGF..bcoz this is a class movie..not a mass movie..my rating 3/5

Awesome Class + Mass movie... A complete package for Vishu... Ranjithettan's greatest comeback + Mammookka's Kasargod style really worked out. It will be a trendsetter in Kerala for sure... Must watch for this awesome thrilling surprise hit.

First half good. Background music #PuthanPanam

Sis Majee

First half thakarthu.. superb

worthyourticket 

@mammukka as Nithyananda Shenoy is class. This is probably the first movie about #DeMonetisation #PuthanPanam. Parellel plot lines, classy BGM and a screenplay that lacks pace so far. #PuthanPanam average so far.. #FirstHalf. PuthanPanam is unlike other Ranjith movies. Characters lack depth and the humour seems be forced. Hoping for a much better second half.

Nikhil K Gopi

First half kalakki..
