Madhuram 2021
Ahammed Khabeer’s story is about hospital bystanders, which he has directed with beautiful visuals, especially of the food.
As a pair of hands carefully drew spirals with a liquid squeezed out of a towel and they turned into hissing jilebis in a pan, I thought Madhuram was going to be about sweets, a food movie that is so rare in Malayalam. Food plays a really big part in the movie, but Madhuram is more about the sweetness in people that comes from the unquestionable love they have for one another. Joju George, the big burly actor with a beard and a mop of unruly hair, becomes an epitome of sweetness in this film, a world away from the gruff characters he is known for. He, with the help of the unfailing Indrans and a talented crew of younger actors, gives us a cosy ride with Madhuram.
