‘Falimy’ movie review: An endearing, humourous tale of a dysfunctional family

November 17, 2023 04:40 pm | Updated 04:42 pm IST Somebody’s misfortune is someone else’s humour. It is in getting this mix right that Nithish Sahadev’s debut directorial Falimy elevates itself above the average comedy drama and turns into a heartwarming tale. One can, of course, find quite a few similarities with the recent family drama #Home, also based on a dysfunctional family, especially the characters of Chandran, a man who runs an old, unsuccessful printing press, and Rema, the mother of the family who struggles with the tantrums of the men of different ages. His multiple attempts to travel alone, thwarted at every step by the family, becomes one of the handful of running jokes in Falimy. ‘Falimy’ Director: Nithish Sahadev Cast: Basil Joseph, Jagadish, Manju Pillai, Sandeep Pradeep, Meenaraj Run-time: 127 minutes Storyline: An 82-year old man has a deep yearning to visit Varanasi.
