Rojin Thomas, who had a promising directorial debut with Philips and the Monkey Pen, seems to have recaptured some of the magic of his debut in #Home. More than a part of that magic is owing to the presence of Indrans, who has delivered a heartfelt performance. From the scenes depicting his struggles with the smartphone - portraying effectively an entire generation's struggles with technology which came late into their lives - to the ones of him hiding his feelings from the eyes of his family, Indrans makes Oliver relatable and endearing. Even without the 'extraordinary' back story. Oliver is made extraordinary by Indrans' portrayal of the ordinary man.

merrieberrie19 August 2021Beautiful family! Cast is perfect, acting is perfect, Camera/cinematography is perfect, location is perfect,songs are perfect, storyline and transition are perfect, layers of story was done perfectly. I could honestly watch it for another few hours, like a good book you don't want to end. Indrans Sir, Manju Chechi wow wow wow. The screen presence for every single cast member is quite impeccable. Thank you entire cast, and everyone who worked behind it. So many aspects of my life, and our families portrayed. Heart warmingly fuzzy and sweet. I have about zero complains.

casalman19 August 2021Hi all, This is my first movie review, when i finished it i felt like i must contribute something to the audience There are only a less number of movies that are very much wonderfull like #home
I am happy that i saw this movie in the middle of the night alone otherwise others will see me crying😄 -
nebinjohns19 August 2021Home is a family dramatic movie that tells about relationship between a father and his son. It's a realistic movie that seems in our life. Indrans is the born back of this movie. It was excellent performance. Manju pillai & Naslen acted nicely in this movie. Camera & art work are encaging the audience to sit back and watching. This is must watch movie from Friday Film House.

Never thought I would write a review for a family drama. But #Home is not just a funny, feel good movie but it takes the viewers through an amazingly thought-provoking journey into the life of Mr Oliver Twist, a gentle and kind-hearted dad who tries to keep pace with the tech savvy generation addicted to their mobile phones. His cute attempts to learn how to use a smart phone and social media is endearing. Equally sad is the way his sons take him for granted, ignores his futile efforts to make a conversation with them. While eventually they realise their mistakes, the way the movie portrays the family dynamics is remarkable. Kudos to the writer, director and all the actors especially Indrans who have done an amazing job of fitting into the role of Oliver Twist so well. Hats off to him and the rest of the team!

ganesh-jayaraman25 August 2021Must watch - for you to doubt as to why others have rated this film so high. I am writing this review with only positive words so that it will see the light - my previous one is yet to come out. This is definitely a good movie and worth the time - but it is upto you to decide whether it should be 9/10.

venkatveginati-6989611 September 2021In my perspective One of the best writing as well as portrayal of Most Homes Day to day life. It made me get smile without any forced comedy at same time brought tears out of my eyes just like sizzling rain drops. Thanks to director , all the actors who made mirror ourselves in your form.👍Specifically Oliver Twist..

arungeorge1320 August 2021The best thing about #Home is that it gives a veteran performer like Indrans an opportunity (in 2021) to act his heart out. #Home is everything you can expect given its title. Thematically, it heavily borrows from Sreenivasan's Kadha Parayumbol in its climactic moments but writer-director Rojin Thomas successfully infuses a huge dose of relatability to the proceedings before we get there. The (slightly excessive) melodrama in the end makes me reduce half a star in a film that gets its humor going pretty early on. Everyone on the film's poster (or otherwise) does well - conveying the right emotions with ease.
Rojin has written the lead character of Oliver Twist (Indrans, playing the man of the house) in a layered manner. Right when you think the focus goes away from the sexagenarian, Rojin carefully drifts it back on him. It also tries to convey a subtle message on mobile phone addiction without being outright preachy about it. As it's a 2h 40m movie, #Home spends enough and more time breathing life into each of its leads. The comedy is laugh-out-loud when it works and super-bland when it doesn't; that said, it's the former that we get more of. #Home looks like it was prepared to delight (and occasionally moisten the eyes of) family audiences during the Cor-Onam season when Keralites are mostly stuck at home.
The gripes I had with the film include a few problematic quips around mental health, how Antony's somewhat toxic behavior gets written off as "stress" and is conveniently forgiven, and that Kuttiyamma (Manju Pillai) gets reduced to the empathetic caretaker of all the men in the household. Also, why does Antony want his dad to be extra-ordinary for them to reconnect? Most dads are ordinary and they're still awesome for just being themselves. That aside, #Home certainly warrants a watch with the fam.
P. S - Dominic Toretto must be feeling proud! -
Bioscoper25 August 2021#Home could have been a soap series with smaller episodes. There is nothing new about this movie, such stories have been aplenty. This possibly shows the cultural shift in the content that malayalam industry is producing. Viewers are left on the mercy of average content creators and now we are appreciating anything that is bearable, although It's good to have such movies in the era of crime & action.

Harika_rddy4 September 2021Malayalam industry take a bow. What an amazing movie!
This is one of those movies that's gonna stay with you for a really long time. The cast has done an amazing job. Especially Indrans Sir, I want him to do more such roles. And those closeup shots to capture the essence of the feelings of the characthers was just so beautiful and real.
Very realistic and definitely gonna connect to you.
I highly recommend you sit down with your family and enjoy this movie.
