Basil Joseph's 'Athiradi' is a refreshing take on the rom-com campus drama, offering a delightful blend of chaos and fun. The film's promotional material cleverly showcases Joseph's unique portrayal of Samkutty, or 'Sambro', a quirky engineering student with an unusual fascination with concrete. This offbeat energy sets the tone for the entire movie, providing a much-needed break from the familiar rom-com tropes. The character's mannerisms, while occasionally reminiscent of Maranamass, add a touch of humor and charm, making it easy for audiences to connect with Samkutty's eccentricities. Riya Shibu's Swathi, the practical and grounded love interest, brings a refreshing spirit to the film, adding depth to the familiar template of the potential love interest. The cast's chemistry and the film's compelling vibe keep viewers invested, making 'Athiradi' a must-watch for those seeking a fun and engaging cinematic experience.
