Diamond necklace review

Director : Lal Jose
Lead actors: Fahad Fazil, Gouthami Nair, Samvrutha Sunil, Anushree
Cinematography: Sameer Thahir
Music: Vidyasagar


The story revolves around Dr. Arun and the three women in his life. Arun comes across as someone nice, enthusiastic and fun loving who quickly impresses hearts particularly those of opposite sex but in reality he is walking on thin ice. The three women that he meets in his life are from different strata of society- Lekshmi who is from a village in Tamilnadu working as a nurse in the same hospital, Maya, a millionaire with a personal tragedy and Rajashree who is one of the many middle class docile girls in India waiting for their princes in shining armor. Arun and his acts catapults the three women and send their destinies spinning. What unfolds is a moving drama that captures your heart.

The team surprises us with their acting, they fit well in to the roles they play. The humour is subtle and the personalities are real, reminding you of someone you knew in your life. There are some dialogues that are witty making you smile and those that let you reflect on life. The climax is heartwarming with no loose ends and it somehow satisfies you that everyone is finally at peace with their own decisions and choices.

There are some logical loopholes- Venu buying Arun time to repay loan looks less believable. Also, knowingly injecting a near fatal dose of narcotic to a terminally ill patient is a criminal offense and the screenplay brushes it off as something insignificant.


Overall it is an interesting film that is really worth watching.
