So fascinating to see two couples eloping on the same day😆
Thrishanku was a great plot that could have been perfect if only pure comic actors were cast to boost the adventurous experience
~Still Worth Watching~ 

Delicious
—We enjoyed Thrishanku’s innovative concept, there was no way to tell the end from the beginning. The story had a great fusion of old school (Sethu’s uncles) and new school (Sethu and Megha) on the quest to track down Sumi (Sethu’s sister).
We had a clear understanding of Sethu’s and Megha’s fragile finances as they were just mere students committed to legalizing their union before their families could marry them off.
As always Anna Ben (playing Megha) played her typecast role as the brave one and Arjun Arshokan (playing Sethu) was the timid yet responsible man
—It was symbolic that Megha, Sethu, and the uncles (Nandhu, Suresh Krishna) went looking for Sumi dressed in traditional outfits, then later switched to modern clothing.
This reflecting the need for the old school to adapt to the times.
Families cannot continue to adhere to conservative ideologies while raising children in this 21st century. Some things, like love marriage, have to be accepted and Thrishanku aimed to demonstrate that
—Despite their ruined plan, Sethu and Megha were still determined to act responsibly and support each other which was great to see 🥰

Bland
—The movie would have tremendously benefited from pure comedy immersed in the dialogues, acting, and characters. The lines were mostly cliché and there were no exciting characters in the plot.
Nandhu and Suresh Krishna were forcing the jokes whereas Anna Ben and Arjun Ashokan sustained the same facial expressions from start to finish.
There are natural comedians who could have perfected this movie by bringing their swag and flavor on board, e.g. Soubin Shahir, Jaffar Idukki, Grace Antony
—It’s always a bummer when there are too many coincidences in the scenario with several characters happening to be in the same location at the same time
