Overall Rating: Nuts 
Ennalum Ente Aliya was ‘not’ a bad movie at all! We had a good share of laughter and giggles; the problem just came from the storytelling being quite stagnant.
The movie only got a boost of energy toward the end which was obviously really late. But all in all, it was a nice family entertainment
~Still Worth Watching~
Delicious
—Lena (playing Sulu) stood out from the crowd😃
She was the typical mother filled with insecurities about her only daughter, constantly thinking about who she was talking to, who she was going to marry, where she should go, and at what time.
She was pestering everyone with her incessant worries that it became hilarious😆
—Ennalum Ente Aliya nicely illustrated three types of couples we see nowadays: the old & conservative, the contemporary & busy, and the young & liberal.
It showed how they can live harmoniously and be fulfilled by not focusing on what others think.
The constant sounds of doorbells and phone rings were a great reminder that they needed to be controlled, otherwise, they would control our lives
—Bash Mohammed, the director, gave us a comprehensive knowledge of each character.
We were warmly welcomed into each family’s house. We knew that Sulu was a devout woman while her daughter Ismi (Amritha Menon) was modernized and into trendy music.
Balu (Suraj Venjaramoodu) was a workaholic while Lakshmi (Gayathri Arun), a quiet housewife
The beautiful art direction, additionally, helped increase our familiarity with the characters
Bland
—A major part of the film takes place in Balu’s apartment with Sulu & her husband (Siddique) confronting Balu and his wife over the allegations.
Literally, the argument just went back and forth, back and forth, back and forth with the plot not progressing at all.
If not for the comic lines and Sulu’s funny mannerisms, it would have been very tempting to stop watching
—Such a disappointment that it was only around 99 minutes into the movie that the story started rolling and bringing new developments😔
