How Old Are You- Manju Warrier Is Back: (Malayalam) Film Review

Manju Warrier is a vision and a treat to your senses. She is back and she is all that we have loved her for.|Chinnu Nair, Yentha.com


How old are you? Honestly, this is one question I’d love to ask Manju Warrier herself. The woman is ‘timeless’.  I walked into an already filled theatre, anticipating the film starring the very same Manju Warrier whose films I grew up watching. And there she was on the silver screen in all her glory.  


‘How old are you’, follows the life of Nirupama Rajeev (Manju Warrier), a UD clerk. Along with her husband Rajeev (Kunchacko Boban) who works with All India Radio, and her high school daughter Lekshmi (Amritha Anil), Nirupama leads a very middle class life that in her husband’s words is very ‘boring’. Life changes for Nirupama, when the President of India sends her an invitation to have breakfast with him (Why he does that, is one of the spoilers I’d rather not be making). The outcome of the incident, makes Nirupama a household name, and often times an object of ridicule too. Bad times hit Nirupamas comfort zone, when her husband Rajeev decides to pursue his job offer in Ireland and takes along their daughter too. She promises herself that she will soon join her husband and daughter, by securing a job in Ireland. Meanwhile the vegetables from her terrace farm brings her a huge order for organic vegetables. Susan (Kaniha), Nirupama’s best friend from college comes in search of her, and helps bring out the old zeal and zest and convince her to chase her dreams.
