Parimala and Co movie review: Jayaram, Urvashi’s comedy thriller is a lazy disaster | Movie-review News

Parimala and Co movie review: Jayaram, Urvashi’s comedy thriller is a lazy disaster | Movie-review News

Parimala and Co Movie Review & Rating: After watching Thalaivan Thalaivii (2025), the first thought that came to my mind was that Pandiraaj, the director himself, could never create anything worse. He had set a shockingly low bar that one would think could only be lowered further with a deliberate and determined effort. Be it intentional or not, Pandiraaj has proven me wrong. But I hope I wasn’t the only one who went into Parimala and Co with the dumb confidence that “this wouldn’t be worse than Thalaivan Thalaivii,” only to be completely knocked out. While Parimala and Co isn’t one of the worst Tamil movies to have come out in recent times, it gets under one’s skin throughout, as it feels like one of the most lazily written and conceived mainstream commercial Tamil films in recent memory. Despite its core being a tried-and-true (and even hackneyed, to be honest) whodunit, even its story has been developed in an unimpressive manner, let alone its script.

Ashakal Aayiram OTT Release Date (Photo Credit: Instagram) Back in the day, there was a time when Jayaram’s name was mentioned alongside Mohanlal and Mammootty in the upper echelons of Mollywood. He was a truly successful and shining star. However, the 2010s were not particularly kind to him in terms of box office success.
