The story of Padmini starts with Rameshan, who is a poet and a college lecturer, getting married. On their first night together, his wife, Smrithi, and her lover escape in the latter’s Premier Padmini car. After this scary incident, the villagers in Rameshan’s town make fun of him for his unfortunate situation. They even start calling him “Padmini” Rameshan.
Interestingly, a new lecturer named Padmini joins his college. Rameshan starts developing feelings for her. However, since he is legally married to Smrithi, he can’t marry Padmini. To solve this, he decides to file for divorce. The story continues to unfold after Rameshan files for divorce. Meanwhile, Padmini has to deal with issues from her family who are unhappy with her choice to marry Rameshan.
However, Rameshan faces difficulties in obtaining a divorce due to legal procedures. The remainder of the film revolves around Rameshan’s journey to disentangle himself from this newfound challenge. Rameshan, driven by sheer determination, embarks on a compelling quest to confront and overcome the formidable obstacle that has unexpectedly crossed his path.
Kunchacko appears to be quite comfortable around Rameshan, which is how he is able to captivate the audience right away. When he plays a romantic lead, Kunchacko still has the same charm.
We now got to witness Aparna Balamurali in a comedic role after a long time, and she was fantastic in capturing those subtle emotions of helplessness. Madonna’s attractiveness onscreen enhances the pleasure of the entire picture. Vincy Aloshious does her part well despite having very little screen time.
After a long absence, Kunchacko’s comeback with a romantic movie generated enough excitement to keep Padmini’s fans on the edge of their seats. The primary high point of Padmini is the comedy. Senna Hegde seeks to tell a multi-layered tale that depicts the emotions of a young man who hears unpleasant remarks from his neighbors after his wife runs off.
It’s fascinating to observe how he spins a story out of a commonplace scene that is focused on regular human emotions and actions. Deepu Pradeep wrote Kunjiramayanam, while Senna Hegde created Thinkalazhcha Nishchayam. So in a sense, this pairing has successfully entered the wedding comedy market.
Most notably in scenes starring Sajin Cherukayil, the visual environment for several of the events elicited humor. There are flaws in Rameshan’s heroics. But he is a relatable figure because of his experiences. It’s an interesting movie that’s worth seeing.
The songs that Jakes Bejoy wrote are appropriate and enhance the narrative. Sreeraj Raveendran’s photography captures the grandeur of the green paddy fields and neighboring hills in some breathtaking shots.
With its gripping storyline layered with comic moments and authentic characters, the film not only entertains but also serves as a reflection of the world we live in. Overall; The film explores human emotions and actions, with Rameshan’s heroics and relatable character making it a worthwhile watch!
