Other Cast : Innocent, Vijaya Raghavan, Anoop Menon, Kalalranjini, Indrans & others.
Director : Joshi Mathew
Music : Mattannoor Sankarankutty
Producer : Jose ThomasPatham Nilayile Theevandi’ is a film that genuinely attempts to take a closer look at the boundary that draws the line between sanity and the lack of it, but remains underdeveloped and oddly confused. It tries to move away from conventions and yet hold its audience close, but doesn’t really succeed in doing so.
A former employee of the Railways (Innocent) struggles to regain his self in a mental asylum, and is traumatized by the sound of trains whizzing past in his ears all the time. He starts writing letters to his son (Jayasurya), requesting him to take him away from the hospital, now that his sickness has been almost cured. The repeated appeals of the old man fall on deaf ears, as his son carries on with his busy life, unaware of the fact that trains do get derailed from skyscraper tops as well.
This is brilliant material for a daunting film, but unfortunately ‘Patham Nilayile Theevandi’ looks like a half baked cookie that wouldn’t melt in your mouth. There are a few impressions that it leaves, but sadly these impressions never bond together to produce that wondrous effect that’s characteristic of certain fine films.
For the most part of it, the film has been competently scripted, effectively stringing together those loose bits and pieces. However, in the last ten minutes of the film, the train runs off the rails and the anguish and despair as experienced by the son, who roams around on the brink of madness himself is hardly expressed. On the other hand, with the doctor’s arrival at his apartment to announce that schizophrenia might be hereditary, the film steers away from its course and starts appearing extremely overwrought.
