Spoilers forward…
The primary half works fairly effectively in a low-key mode, however the second half may have used much more chunk.
There’s one thing completely endearing a few huge, burly man like Lal enjoying somebody whose dream is to grow to be a clothier. (The character’s identify is Basheer.) It is a stereotype, after all – there isn’t any physique sort for any occupation. However actors are sometimes so stereotyped themselves – due to their physique sort, their voice, and so forth – that it’s refreshing to seek out even traces of a distinction. Take Lal in Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela. It’s one other “mushy” function, like in Expensive Vaappi, and it comes with a vulnerability that the character doesn’t have the braveness to deal with his spouse’s sickness. The concept this huge, burly man shouldn’t be as sturdy as his frail-looking spouse is, once more, an endearing contact. It might not have labored as effectively with an actor who had a extra “sentimental” display presence. It is because of Lal that Expensive Vaappi works to the extent that it does.
