Wonderfully offbeat film!
Wonderful character development!
Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
"Hello My Dear Wrong Number" been one of my favorite films from Priyadarsan. This one has a great song "Nee En Kinavo" as well. Priyadarsan makes flawless funny movies. But I doubt if he had worked on any ORIGINAL SUBJECT till now. This movie is a clear cut inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock's "North By Northwest". It should be noted how cleverly Priyan interwove additional characters into a lifted story and creates a new story with local flavor. I think that's what gets him going. Priyan have come a long way in films. And still he is busy churning out re-makes. I wish he put his talent to an original concept. All the best for this ace director!
Watching this movie is a nostalgic trip back to the days when Mohanlal was younger, thinner, and very capable of pulling his little acrobatic feats on camera, something he has gotten too old and unfit to do in his recent movies. (The man is still quite young; just imagine how many more crowds his movies would pull in if he just took the time to exercise a little and look like he did in "Hello My Dear"!)And of course, this movie is remembered not only for its Priyadarshan-Mohanlal-style comedy, but also for it's Yesudas-Chitra hit song "Nee En Kinavo." I saw this movie on TV in India in 2002. The fact that they air this movie more than fifteen years after its release shows how popular it still is.
