😔😔😔
We wished and hoped that Aanandam Paramanandam would prove us wrong but it did not. The film was sadly as uninviting as the trailer.
We had a showcase of men drinking and drinking and drinking with a lot of logic missing

Delicious
—One of the reasons we wanted to watch Aanandam Paramanandam was due to Indrans (playing Kurup) 🥰 He’s so amusing and versatile; we got to see his drunk, caring, and partying sides in this film. He never gets boring
—In the midst of the alcoholism, a vital message was sent on its ability to destroy relationships/marriages and rob away sound judgment and true joy
—We loved the soundtracks🥳 Made us wanna dance and party with Kurup during his drinking moments with friends at the toddy shop. The music ushered in a relaxing ambiance, great work!
Bland
—Some parts of the screenplay lacked a bit of logic.
Let’s take Kurup and Gireesh for example; they were miserably struggling to be sober for days, yet never designed a plan to go about it. You don’t become sober by just putting alcohol aside, you need to replace it with an activity.
Somehow, neither their families nor friends thought of giving them concrete solutions to cope with the temptation to drink.
Who wants to sacrifice her life by marrying a drunk guy just because she wants to defy her dad? It was hard to believe that. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and Anu was willing to kill her happiness at the hands of a drunk man 😳
—In general, the characters featured in the story weren’t so exciting, e.g. there was the usual overly submissive housewife, the company of drunk friends, and nosey/greedy relative.
At times, they were overacting or delivered cheesy lines that weren’t amusing
