POOMARAM MOVIE REVIEW
Poomaram, at 2 hours 32 minutes, rides on the strength of a handful of playful moments from the campus and if that wouldn't trouble you as a viewer, the movie merits your time. (more)

Poetic And Real At The Same Time!
Poomaram is a fresh and relistic take on the youth festival days of your campus. Don't expect the usual exaggerated campus fares as this one is a class apart. It's poetic and real at the same time and is filled with life.(more)

Poomaram is watchable for the soul of a youth festival in it.
The film has nine music directors who compete with each other in providing a special Malayali essence in all its tracks especially the 'Poomaram' number composed by Faisal Razi. The background score has been dealt by the revolutionary music director of Malayalam, Gopi Sunder. The uniqueness of the score helps the film carve out a niche for itself as a Malayalam film with a poetic soul.(more)

An honest effort that evokes nostalgia
Poomaram is a genuine attempt that is pretty unconventional. The campus and the youth festival scenes could be nostalgic for all those who have been involved in such activities during their campus days. For the rest of the world too, this one could very well be an enjoyable ride. (more)

Abrid Shine shines a light on college life in a reality-show-style film
Poomaram is a delightfully experimental, contemplative college saga, far removed from the clich�s, the ugly misogyny and loudness seen in too many campus films from Mollywood. Its warts notwithstanding, it is like that snuggly blanket you do not want to leave on a cold winter morning, that hot cup of coffee you embrace with both hands when you finally emerge - comforting, familiar, regular yet so special.(more)

This trip down the nostalgia lane is not without bumps
Movies invoke different emotions -- some invoke empathy, some aspiration. In Poomaram, however, you are both an emotionally-invested viewer and one of the peripheral characters.(more)

This Kalidasan Jayaram starrer is a celebration of everything art
This film was a good experience, but solely because of the music and screenplay. In terms of characters, they were very well-etched supporting characters (especially Kili and the mohiniyattam teacher of Maharaja College). As there wasn't enough scope to see Kalidasan perform, this might not have been his best choice for a debut.(more)
