| When
scriptwriter Sreenivasan is in form - it's a treat. It's a greater
joy when he garnishes his writing with a superlative performance
as an actor.
 Udayananu
Tharam is a light-hearted comedy that takes a satirical look at
the tinsel town. It depicts the struggles of Udayabhanu brilliantly
portrayed by Mohanlal who is an assistant director and script
writer aspiring to make it big but thwarted in his attempts by
a scheming friend and junior artist Rajappan Thengamoodu (Sreenivasan)
who steals his script to become a superstar!
Udayananu
Tharam is nothing more than a look at the seamy side of film making
and machinations in the reel world. But the film works because
Roshan Andrews chose to talk about a world and people he knows
about firsthand. The characters look real and the conversations
sounds real. What sails the film through is it sense of humour
and a riveting climax.
 Lights,
Camera, Action…. Its Showtime, folks! Udayabhanu (Mohanlal) is
a struggling script writer and has been an assistant to big directors
like Pratapan (Lohitadas). Udayan is an honest, hard-working,
disciplined and a do-gooder to friends and struggling junior artists
like Rafique (Salim Kumar). Now Udayan has just completed the
script of his maiden film which he considers “to be a masterpiece
with a stunning climax”
"Udayananu
Tharam", directed by debutant Roshan Andrews, has the trademark
Sreenivasan touch: a telling insight into the subject and a self-deprecatory
humour..
