, the screenplay writer of Jalam, has written a good screenplay touching various everyday issues that a common man faces. Good effort by him and director, M Padmakumar to have come up with such a powerful film presented in a humble way. In all, the direction, cinematography, and screenplay are appreciable. Jalam is probably one of the best movies of M Padmakumar so far.
Star Performances: Priyanka portrays a character of a bold and enduring women which has a big screen impact right from the start till the very end. Though after a break, she has come up with a great attitude in doing total justice to the character she is given, ensuring that the trust shown to her by the film crew doesn’t go in vain. Jain Syriac as the husband truly made his acting count. There were many scenes where he made an impact as well. One such scene which he left an impact was when he requested for help from the Thahasildar, quoting their dreams and the hardships. Sethulakshmi did her part supported by
