This is encouraging to observe how Sharafudheen's career reached its pinnacle once she transitioned from a comic playing sidekick roles to a marketable lead actor. He originally came to prominence in Premam's humorous proposal scene. Eight years later, in Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn, Sharafudheen is seen proposing once more, but this time he is so adorable that it is impossible to refuse him. His endearing personality and vibrant chemistry with Bhavana ensure that the movie lands securely despite a few detours along the way.
The movie Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn is about getting another chance. The two childhood sweethearts Jimmy (Sharafudheen) and Nithya (Bhavana), who were forced to split apart as teenagers and are now seeking to get back together, are at the centre of the story. Additionally, Jimmy and Nithya are fervently looking for second chances on their own. Nithya is a victim of an abusive marriage, and Jimmy has a career that he is enthusiastic about.
Notwithstanding a few discrepancies, the film's writer, director, and editor, Adhil Maimoonath Asharaf, is a promising debutant. While Jimmy is on the verge of starting a relationship with Fidaa (Anarkali Nazar), his ex-girlfriend Nithya shows up unexpectedly.
There was a good opportunity for an explosive love triangle at this point, but it's admirable how this movie handles it. No fuss or drama is made as Fidaa moves on graciously and encourages Jimmy to pursue his true desires in both his personal and professional lives.
The creators use screenwriting methods like breaching the fourth wall and using various narrators in what appears to be an effort to inject some originality into the storyline. In the beginning, everything appeared intriguing, but in retrospect, they were few and far between, and they didn't actually serve many objectives.
A lot of the narration is provided by a small child named Mariam (Saniya Rafi), and the first half is made more enjoyable by their endearing sibling relationship. The insertion of a romantic song at a pivotal point is the only thing that undermines the narrative's little stretching in the second half. Despite the fact that Bhavana and Sharafudheen look wonderful together, the song seemed completely out of place and more appropriate for a save-the-date video.
From their first moment together, where they both clearly express the awkwardness of meeting an ex-lover, the two leads work well together. As the story goes on, their chemistry only gets better, thanks in large part to some sane writing. The smooth chats between the long-lost pair are particularly impressive.
Bhavana plays the character of a self-sufficient single mother beautifully in her comeback. Like her actual personality, her on-screen persona confronts a horrific post and struggles fiercely for justice. It is not a particularly difficult persona, but it is one that she would enjoy.
Bhavana's character is well-rounded, but Jimmy, played by Sharafudheen, is a potentially strong character who was largely left unrealized. At a sequence in the movie, Jimmy discusses how his lack of social connection during his six-year exile in Dubai has prevented him from speaking freely with people. If the movie had spent more time on this subject rather than limiting its depiction of his illness to a single line, it would have given the character a new dimension.
Sharafudheen succeeds in shining despite these writing flaws. The actor has a certain 'lovely' quality. Here's a character that can be brutally vicious (remember Varathan?) as well as the perfect lovely person, as Jayaram did so admirably in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He and all of his co-stars in Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn have excellent chemistry, not only with Bhavana.
With Saniya acting as the third wheel, the sequences between Sharafudheen and Anarkali are all genuinely entertaining. The father-son relationship with Ashokan, who portrays a harsh father, has a similar influence.
The movie also introduces us to a variety of intriguing characters, including the lively younger sister (Saniya Rafi), who is at least 20 years younger than her brothers, the father (Ashokan), a shining example of tough love, and the traditional, set-in-his-ways uncle.
