'Aashakal Aayiram' BO day 5: Film moves past 2.66 crores
Aashakal Aayiram is a warm family drama with Jayaram and Kalidas Jayaram in the lead. The film shows small moments inside a family and talks about simple dreams and simple problems. Jayaram plays a caring father, and Kalidas plays his son who is trying to find his place in life. The movie shows how they deal with misunderstandings, hopes, and family pressure. The story also has a layer about the film industry. It tries to speak about nepotism and the godfather culture. Because the lead actors are a real father and son, this idea feels a bit funny and also a bit strange. The review says Kalidas sometimes looks weak in emotional scenes, which makes the nepo-kid talk feel even stronger. Asha Sharath plays the mother, but the review says her character is written in a very old style. She is shown as a quiet housewife who keeps smiling even when the family struggles. The review says she feels disconnected from real women today. Still, the movie gives a soft and gentle feeling. It moves in a slow and calm way.
