We laugh with them, tear up with them (Kurien's recollection of his motherвЂ™s bravery in Kuwait left me puddle-eyed) - not because they face an extraordinary situation but because they go through it so ordinarily. And, course, the children: Mary (Srinda Arhaan), Sarah (Ahaana Krishna) and the London-returned Kurien (Nivin Pauly).ДЄLSO READ: BARADWAJ RANGAN'S REVIEW OF ADAM JOANД®ven the minor characters - like SarahвЂ™s boyfriend who faces Kurien with amusing amounts of confidence, or even the recurring packets of junk food - are marvellous. The best friend (Krishna Shankar), who seems as married to his supermarket as to his sharp-tongued wife.

The brother-in-law (Siju Wilson) whose stinginess is made fun of, but never cruelly. The mother (Shanthi Krishna, a beacon of poise, calm and collected even when her world turns upside down) who wants to go home in the middle of a movie. The cowardly father (Lal) who speaks in outrageously funny metaphors. The characters are vivid, the performances wonderfully warm. ItвЂ™s not just the connections between the people on screen - we feel related to them. I havenвЂ™t seen a film in a while that gave us such a strong sense of family.

A video recording of you during the movie will show you smiling a lot.

The tone isnвЂ™t haha (though there are many laugh-out-loud moments). We do get scenes in hospitals and scenes featuring the dismaying after-effects of treatment, but the defining mood is that of the stretch where a doctor (Saiju Kurup) is asked to please leave the office - his own office - so the family gathered there can sort things out. He takes a scary disease, the fount of a thousand on-screen tragedies, and makes a film thatвЂ™s - thereвЂ™s no other word for it - wholesome. ThatвЂ™s the film in a nutshell, and director Althaf SalimвЂ™s achievement is in not crossing the boundaries of good taste.
