Director: Kamal
Music: Vidyasagar
Cast: Dileep, Meera Jasmine, Navya Nair, Revathi, Janardanan
Rating: 7/10 (if Meera wasn't there then 3.5/10)
Jew Colony is a small place in Kochi where Sachidanandan (Dileep) lives, who owns an antique shop which sells Gramophone records. Luyi uncle (Oduvil Unnikrishnan), 'Saigal' Yousuf and 'Tabala' Bhaskaran (Salim Kumar) are Sachi's close friends.
There are also a couple of Jews like Gregory (Janardhanan), an old Jew and his daughter Sarah (Revathi) and granddaughter Jeniffer (Meera Jasmine). They are the last of the Jews to migrate to Israel. Gregory dreams of going to Israel someday.
Sachi's father Raveendran (Murali) was a great music director, who died leaving him a lot of debts. Naturally Sachi hates music and has vowed, never to sing, even in his bathroom. Sachi leads his life doing all sorts of jobs that he can get his hands at. Jennifer works as a housemaid at a big hotel and is the best friend of Sachi. First half is full of small comedies by Dileep and Meera. Just before second half enters Pooja (Navya Nair), who is the daughter of Arya Devi. Arya devi was a former student of Raveendran. Pooja and Jenny become best friends.
Gregory, who was looking for a way of returning to Israel finds an opportunity when an Israel soldier, returning from war asks for Jenny's hand in marriage. Gregory is delighted and readily agrees. Jennifer, who has a soft corner for Sachi, agrees for her family's happiness . Sachi is terribly upset as he also has a hidden place for Jenny, but does not express it.
You'll need lots of tissue papers for the second half, BUT there is an unexpected twist in the climax.
Meera, as usual, is strikingly beautiful and excels with her acting while Dileep is, as usual, at his best. I think the only mistake Kamal made was Navya. She is so boring in this movie, AS USUAL. This movie is good for watching, but Kamal could has made it a little more exquisite.
