Hello Mummy Movie Review

Introduction:
Hello Mummy, starring Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sharaf U Dheen, is a Malayalam-language supernatural horror-comedy directed by debutant Vaishakh Elans. The movie blends humor, horror, and emotional elements but struggles with pacing and consistency.

Plot & Execution:
The first half of the movie offers some engaging moments, particularly around the marriage episode, where humor picks up and entertains. The horror elements in the first half connect well and are decent. However, the second half shifts gears dramatically, moving away from the lighter tone. The typical horror climax feels predictable and adds to the movie’s sluggish nature in its later portions.

Performances:
Aishwarya Lekshmi and Sharaf U Dheen deliver average performances, doing justice to their roles but failing to elevate the movie significantly. Their presence does lend some charm to the narrative, but it’s not enough to save the uneven storytelling.

Comedy & Horror:
Comedy is a mixed bag—while certain moments land effectively and evoke laughs, others feel forced and fall flat. The horror elements are decent but fail to break new ground, making them predictable and formulaic in parts.

Strengths:

The marriage episode injects energy into the narrative.

Horror elements in the first half work decently.

Some comedic moments are genuinely funny.

Weaknesses:

A sluggish and predictable second half.

Inconsistent tone between the first and second halves.

Formulaic horror climax works against the film.

Average performances from the lead cast.

Rating: (2.5/5)

Verdict:
Hello Mummy is a moderately entertaining horror-comedy that gets some things right in the first half but fails to maintain the momentum in the second. With an okayish mix of comedy and horror, it remains a one-time watch for fans of the genre. However, the lack of originality and sluggish pacing in the latter half prevent it from standing out.

Final Note:
Watch Hello Mummy with tempered expectations for its humor and horror, but don’t expect too much beyond a few decent laughs and scares.
