Such a nonsense movie.. I don't know how his another movie 'the great indian kitchen' was hit in malayalam.. It was extremely unrealistic one. Which girl in this era cooks 24/7? It was real over drama...This movie is also the same... Any girl can find if husband is gay or not within a week after marriage... No one would stay in the marriage unless she has other benefits(property or any other monetary gains)..

Mamooty portrayed the struggles without externally showing his inner struggle, protecting those around him...the wife was very astitute and considerate..and both characters acted beautifully and showed the dilemmas in such relationship when sexual orientation is not a match.

u took wrong message from this movie. Did u see the scene where mammoty tells his father that doctors already told u not to do but u thought it will change after marriage as most of the people in India think. This movie is NOT Spreading or Encouraging but asking community to accept if someone is like this. They r NOT HARMFUL or DANGEROUS, SO let them live the way they want. This is what I thought this movie is about

The focus point of this movie not being gay or straight. It is about the social system in third world developing countries like India where people, especially females are forced to embark in and continue with extremely unsatisfied marriages just to satisfy the so-called social norms. Even the judicial system is so inhumane and paternalistic forcing people to publicly expose their sexuality and other very personal matters to other mocking people just to be 'blessed' with divorce by 'My Lord'.

The movie boldly aims to address a very delicate problem. But the fact that two educated couples have to wash their dirty linen in public and expose their extremely personal matters and sexuality to be granted divorce from court rather than going for a mutual separation without proclaiming the reasons to the public, still remains a loose end.

Not clear why the film is named Kaathal. Omana may have loved Mathew, but Mathew definitely did not have any love for Omana. He is just the typical patriarch who does not care about his wife's feelings or opinions. He was ignoring all her attempts to discuss and resolve the unhappiness in their marriage.

The worst thing is that he did not have any guilty conscience to seek the same pleasure that he has been denying his wife for years. Not sure whether he wanted Omana also to engage in extramarital affairs like him. He never thought that Omana would file for divorce after 20 years of marriage and thought she would live like a slave all her life as she was bound by a marriage which happened in heaven and blessed by the angels.

Jyotika was brilliant in this film.... Mammootty with his film choices just rocks these days!!! But it was a hard watch at places when you have conservative mindset and especially when you are a emotional romantic and somehow want Omana and Matthew to reconcile their differences and live happily ever after. I know it was progressive and all and beautifully acted and narrated, but I wished for a different ending.

What a beautiful movie - both Mammooty and Jyothika have handled excellently the sensitive topic of homosexuality without any animosity or drama that would have been typical of any other movie. Watch if you have any sympathy towards gay people, otherwise your impressions would be biased and negative.

Im cmpletely against ths gay mvie, i knw few people r brn with naturaly atracted to same gender (I suprt if they wnt to b in relation with same gender),but majority of people are influenced by the society, you have to understand that the sexuality is fluid until the age 15 - 20. so based on the societies trend, peer pressure, exposure to digital media, and family influence the sexuality can be influenced.Though it is fluid majority of people hav sum bit of by default atraction towards oposite sex. Bt again the preference is formed based on what the child is expsed to from the age of 3-15 -20

Also let me tell you personal experience from my life, I did my higher secondary schooling in a boarding school in Kerala kottayam, this boarding school has childrens from first standard to 12th, totaly accounting to almost 120 boys. One day i seen two boys were inside the deans office, so the issue is that they were involved in sexual activities, we were all shocked to see this, and definitely felt weird, within another two days i see another two boys in the dean office, within one week almost 60 boys in our boarding is involved in sexual activity and they were caught,

now you may be wondering how they were caught, when the first couple were caught the dean blackmailed them either you tell me if there are other homosexual couples or i will let your parents know this. So this boys in the fear they revealed other couples who involve in sexual activity, This actually created a chain reaction in our boarding house. So Did you notice the another pattern, i bet not all these 60 boys were born homosexual they just got inspired by environment. Majority of this children have natural inclination to opposite sex,

but when they realise that they have an oppurtunity to do sex with same gender they dont need to wait anymore, its comparatively easy to have sex with same gender, and this are childrens ranging from 5th standard to 10th standard exactly, How weird is that. Now you may say this are natural inclination of boys at that age who are curios about other boys's body, , but 6 months before this inciden, assistant father was caught blackmailing kid of 7th standard for sex, and he was fired instantly, now this is the begining of the inspiration for childrens to explore their sexuality with same gender.
