'Ittymani :Made in China' is a weak story and a weaker script that even the Mohanlal cannot save.
'Ittymani :Made in China' is a weak story and a weaker script that even the Mohanlal cannot save. It's a poorly made amalgamation of every stereotype in the book, that neither Mohanlal, nor his fans deserved. So catch it at your own risk.(more)

This Mohanlal comedy is a disappointment
With such a goofball setup and an actor like Mohanlal, the directors could have done a better job. While the script has no originality or fresh ideas, it is Mohanlal who gives everything to make even a dull scene tolerable.(more)

The saving grace is Mohanlal
ttymaani: Made in China is tailor made for those who enjoy the comedy skits and those melodramatic serials in the TV channels. In short, it is Mohanlal who is the saving grace of this movie.(more)

Ittymaani - Made In China Review
There is a song named Kunjade Ninte Manassil from this movie that is available on YouTube. In case if you want to know whether the movie will work for you, just watch that song. If you feel that the goal post slapstick comedy and the "thick friends" jokes are hilarious, just ignore this review and go for the movie.(more)

Mohanlal starrer steeped in ageism ironically bats for the elderly
There are so many double standards in this self-righteous film, so many examples of narrow-mindedness, that a comprehensive listing is not possible. For one, a satellite character compares Annamma to a 1965 model Ambassador, but that is a relatively mild potshot in a narrative that has double entendre flying fast and thick in conversations and gestures. And oh yes, like a string of Mollywood ventures since the formation of the vanitha mathil (women's wall) in Kerala early this year, this one too features a random flippant remark dissing the MeToo movement.(more)

a celebration of the formulaic
The film seems to say that a widow remarrying is a crime which could bring shame for the entire family. The ageist writers should also probably Google up the French president and his wife. The entire bunch of the Annamma�s children and their spouses are written so one-dimensionally to portray their uncaring nature, that all of them are shown happily heading for a trip when their mother is in the hospital, with not even one of them expressing a doubt about the plan.(more)
