Shafeek, a selfless person who strives to make others happy, is scheduled to go back from Kerala to Dubai for his wedding. He chooses to give a present to an ayurvedic physician who helped him out of a jam. When everything seems to be going Shafeek’s way during his engagement ceremony, the police show up at his home. How will this affect his life in the future?
Unni’s ability to communicate his emotions naturally and grow as an actor over the years is a welcome sight. In the latter third of the film, where the plot requires him to stage a heartbreak, Unni Mukundan attempts to carry the burden.
In her role as the effervescent protagonist, Divya Pillai is typical. That shrill, irate mother figure is Sminu Sijo. This foreseeable diversion was Athmeeya Rajan. As Shafeek’s companion, Bala steals the show in the movie and brings life to his role with some snappy language. It is also enjoyable to witness Manoj K. Jayan in his role as an Ayurvedic physician.
In order to appeal to a wide range of viewers, the director has made an effort. Though not necessarily a bad thing, the writing has a lot of melodrama, which doesn’t work for this movie. Shefeekkinte Santhosham is an unsuccessful attempt to join the league of Malayalam films in which the sacrifice of an NRI is a recurrent topic.
The entire plot of the movie revolves around Shefeek striving to bring joy into other people’s lives before realizing how crucial it is to protect his own pleasure. Anup’s script insists on defending the tenuous premise on which it is basing the entire drama rather than developing a compelling focal conflict. Several movie situations are improved with songs by Shaan Rahman.
The movie’s whole story revolves around protagonist Shefeek trying to make other people happy before discovering how important it is to safeguard his own pleasure. It’s encouraging to see Unni’s ability to express his feelings honestly and develop as an actor over time. It’s not inherently a bad thing, but this movie doesn’t work because of the writing’s heavy melodrama.
