Deshadanam is undoubtedly one of the finest Malayalam film ever. In a Stupid industry with mainstream film makers. and overrated superstars, only a director like Jayarajs would dare to make a film in this subject. Vijayaraghavan (father) was so original on screen. He is one of the most under appreciated actor. All the other characters did justice to the story. Especially mom and grandfather. The music was so smoothly sinking to the film. that we could feel it playing inside our heads. Kaliveedu is my personal favorite. I would suggest Ottaal, Jayarajs latest film to everyone who genuinely liked this film. Thank you for reading my review.
