Ulsaha Committee

Ulsaha Committee is a 2014 Indian Malayalam language comedy-drama film directed by Akku Akbar. The movie boasts of a talented ensemble cast that includes Jayaram, Baburaj, Kalabhavan Shajohn, alongside other notable actors like Sheela, Isha Talwar, Vinaya Prasad, and Sunil Sukhada among others. The screenplay was written by Shaiju Anthikad and the music was composed by Bijibal, which added more life and soul to this unique creation.

The film is primarily centered around Apoorvan (Jayaram), a man known in his local community for his absurd and unbending belief in superstition and astrology. His conduct often goes overboard to the extent that he reschedules his mother's (Sheela) heart surgery on the grounds that his astrologer hinted at an unfavorable time. Despite this, Apoorvan earns the affection of almost everybody in his society due to his generous nature and goodwill.

On the professional front, Apoorvan is an ardent inventor at heart. Teaming up with his two friends- Babumon (Baburaj) and Chopra Vasu (Kalabavan Shajohn), Apoorvan dreams about becoming a renowned scientist but their inventions are constantly panned resulting in money losses. Undeterred by failure, they form the 'Ulsaha Committee' in a bid to gather funds for their experiments. The team witnesses its share of ups and downs in its quest to invent something meaningful, yielding both comedic and heartwarming moments.

Apoorvan's life takes an interesting turn when the charming Thankamani (Isha Talwar) comes into his life. The daughter of a wealthy and spoilt businessman, Thankamani develops an interest in Apoorvan and his quirky ways. This budding relationship adds a romantic subplot, setting the stage for an unusual love story.

Meanwhile, the Ulsaha Committee exhausts all their resources with continuous failures. The trio lands themselves into a money crisis, made worse by the local moneylender. However, an unexpected turn of events leads them to meet a real scientist who is blown away by their sincerity and enduring perseverance. He offers them an opportunity that could change their lives forever – but not without its own set of trials and tribulations.

Jayaram, with his effortless comic timing, delivers a spectacular performance as Apoorvan. His strong on-screen presence combined with his hilarious yet heartfelt character imparts a fresh and engaging twist to the narrative. Baburaj and Shajohn compliment Jayaram well, filling the film with several laugh-out-loud moments. Isha Talwar, as Jayaram's love interest, is delightful, adding the necessary charm and grace to the movie. The film also features seasoned actress, Sheela, who dons the role of Jayaram's mother, offering a splendid portrayal of a mother's unconditional love and support for her son’s endeavors.

A noticeable aspect of Ulsaha Committee is its way of presenting the themes of friendship, determination, and persistency. The film meticulously weaves camaraderie and team spirit into the storyline, making it feel relatable and stirring. The passion and commitment of the trio towards their invention aspirations against all odds epitomize the human spirit's persistence and determination.

Ulsaha Committee is an assorted mix of comedy and drama with a dash of romance. Director Akku Akbar successfully entertains the audience while also delivering a message about the importance of ambition, steadfastness and friendship.

In conclusion, Ulsaha Committee makes for an enjoyable viewing experience, blending comedy and drama seamlessly.
