Satyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo movie review highlights: A taut social drama

As the first half draws to a close, we are still not clear what the title,

Satyam Paranja Viswasikkuvo

, of this cute movie is suggesting. But it is by no means a confusing tale. Well written and well directed, the film tells two stories. One is about the family life of Biju Menon, a mason and an alcoholic. The other story is about the no confidence motion at the local panchayat. A road accident ties in both stories, and makes a hilarious social commentary. At the interval, we are left with a suspenseful incident that even we as viewers end up drawing our breath over. How will things play out in the second half of this fast moving story?
