Hridayapoorvam Reviews: Film is Mixture of emotion, humor and life lessons
Sathyan Anthikad and Mohanlal form a legendary duo known for creating timeless Malayalam classics. Their earlier films, such as T.P. Balagopalan M.A., Sanmanassullavarkku Samadhanam, and Rasathanthram, continue to be popular with fans. With Hridayapoorvam, expectations are high as fans look forward to another touching story filled with the director’s trademark mix of humor, emotion, and life lessons. Were they able to deliver?
Netizens have reacted to Hridayapoorvam. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “I went in without any expectations, but by the time the first half ended, I realized something; there’s no need to search any further for the Onam winner.”
Netizens celebrate the pair of Mohanlal and Sathyan
Fans can’t stop cheering at Mohanlal’s intro card, as per Hridayapoorvam Review. Celebrating the combination of Mohanlal and Sathyan, another viewer shared that it is a well-written drama that strikes the right balance. It avoids unnecessary drama, doesn’t feel stretched, and stays grounded without going overboard.
The performances are believable, the narrative flows well, and both the background music and visuals fit perfectly with the film’s tone. It is a solid watch, and it is definitely worth recommending. I gave it 3.5 stars.
