A list of puns related to "Antony Perumbavoor"
Apparently his new Marakkar movie is the most expensive movie to be ever made in Malayalam with a budget of around 100 crores. So just got curious about this.
All the bigwigs of Malayalam industry were there hobnobbing with everyone without masks. A10 wore a mask and then wouldn't wear one. The only person who I saw consistently wear a mask was Pranav Mohanlal
I know that there have been a lot of discussions regarding this film but please bear with me. I just saw this movie a few days back, in fact I watched in a theater right before the OTT release announcement was made. By the time I saw this film, there were negative reviews floating all around and thus my expectations were minimal. I must say, is the film as bad as people have made it out to be, not really. But is it an amazing film, no it's not. It's an average big budget period drama. Nothing more than that unfortunately. Which is why it's disappointing because you expect more from a director like Priyadarshan. Although the vast majority of his films are copies of old Hollywood movies, he still makes an enjoyable film. He manages to make something that will always remain in your head as a cult classic. Most of his movies don't lose their spark with time which isn't the case with a lot of other films. A lot of us believed that if there is any Malayalam director who could handle a 100 crore film, it's probably him.
Marakkar is the perfect example of a movie so engrossed in it's own grandeur and magnitude that it believes that the audience will focus just on that and forgive it's shortcomings. But that just isn't the case. We've seen big budget films succeed to great effect and others fizzle out with the change in times. Priyadarshan's magnum opus is way too concerned with what it wants to be than what it really is.
The good points:
The bad points:

So this is my second post on the Marakkar movie - the first discussing the true history of that period. Now after a second trailer was released, my spidy sense is again tingling with all the possible inaccuracies. Now you may say that it is just a movie and they will take liberties and you should see the forest for the trees. Well yeah I grant that there will be creative liberties and the filmmakers are here to make a profit and be successful. But if I see a coniferous pine trees in a tropical Kerala jungle, then I do have to point it out
Dressing
I think the dressing of Mohanlal is what makes me scrutinise this movie a lot closely. If they had followed Mamangam's production values and just got A10 to be shirtless and in a mundu, it would have been fine and I wouldn't have analysed this like an anal retentive moron. But instead since Kunjali is a Muslim, they choose to dress him a some kind of Central Asian Muslim like an Afghan or a steam-punk Sikh.
Then there is the Portuguese who are dressed more as Napoleonic soldiers. The uniform especially for those who served in India wouldn't be this regimented but they were more likely to wear helmets and hats. In one shot, a Portuguese soldier also wears Oxford shoes with rubber/plastic soles. Oxford shoes were only invented in 18th century. Portuguese were more likely to wear flat shoes without laces or boots but laced shoes are plausible but would have a wooden sole.
In one shot where Antony Perumbavoor says 'Kunjali verum', they have a fruit seller dressed in dhoti/kurta. Ente thalla kullukki.
Also most important, the women are not topless. Assuming all of them paid the tax.
Weaponry/Technology This next section should be taken with a pinch of salt because the trailer doesn't show this in great detail
"Sheep without a Shepherdβ is a 2019 Chinese blockbuster which earned $192M globally and received tremendous critical acclaim for its story and performances.

Jeethu Joseph had already become a well renowned writer director of suspense thrillers with 4 hit Malayalam movies under his belt before he unleashed his finest mystery onto the world. The idea of Drishyam came to Joseph when he heard about a legal battle between two families in the 90s. He wrote a very tight script with Mammootty in mind to be shot and released in a period of 2 months. Mammootty declined and Mohanlal signed the movie but got chicken pox before the movieβs first day of shooting. The shooting started without the movieβs protagonist who joined after 10 days and actually completed shooting for the movie quicker than planned. The movie was released 2 months after the start of its principal photography and instantly became a blockbuster.
Drishyam is a very carefully crafted story which begins with an uneducated but smart man accused of murder sitting in a police station. In a flashback we see how Georgekutty played brilliantly by Mohanlal creates the perfect visual (Drishyam) for the world to see as he hides a crime to protect his family. Georgekutty is an uneducated cable TV provider who is extremely street smart and crime-literate due to his insatiable appetite of consuming crime movies and series. Georgekutty becomes the focus of an investigation when the Inspector Generalβs son goes missing in his locality. What ensues is a battle of wits between the cops and Georgekutty, whose meticulous a

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
Theyβre on standbi
A play on words.
They were cooked in Greece.
Pilot on me!!
Mohanlal
Only has consensual sex. Not a rapist. General modus operandi is to openly ask the woman for sex
Has pretty much banged every co-star including Revathi, Shobhana, Silk Smitha, Karthika, Meena, Lakshmi Raai
Was close to marrying Karthika but her father opposed
Married current wife only to gain influence and money due to producer father's status
Women who don't sleep with him find it difficult to work again. For e.g. Kamalini Mukherjee. Young actresses are now required to be with him and Antony Perumbavoor if they want to be cast in a movie. One actress allegedly rejected him for Ittymani
Impregnated Nayanthara and then forced her to abort
Open relationship with K.Ponnamma where they even simulated sex acts in an industry party. It actually disgusted Seema (IV Sasi). Stopped after the 90s but then has supported her by getting her work
A room boy once walked into Mohanlal's hotel room to find a naked Lakshmi Gopalaswami/Lakshmi Raai in his bed. He showed her naked body to him as a tip as he didn't have cash
Is close to Ravi Pillai and Pinarayi Vijayan
Mammootty
Suresh Gopi
Sreenivasan
Jagathy
Has lots of illegitimate kids
Pedophile
Madhu
Thikurrisi and Adoor Bhasi
Casting couchers
Sathyan Anthikad - Parvathy Menon among others
Lal Jose - Samvrutha Sunil (among others)
Balachander Menon - very famous casting coucher as he introduced a lot of heroines to the industry. Parvathy was couched during an NSS Changanassery college festival
Priyadarshan
Christopher Walken
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Great movie with good script. The twists were being established from the start but still a bit of a jump of logic. Congrats to Jeethu for tackling the mental trauma and for not taking any lazy shortcuts.
Acting was good. A10 was being controlled well. Antony Perumbavoor chewed the scenery
If released in theatres, this would have been a superhit
Every decade since 2000, A10 acts in one excellent movie per decade. In 2000s, it was Thanmatra. In 2010s, it was Drishyam. And now this movie. And nine more years of awful movies to wait for.
The lawyer chick was obviously hired because of time spent on acting classes with A10 & Antony Perumbavoor.
What did 0 say to 8 ?
" Nice Belt "
So What did 3 say to 8 ?
" Hey, you two stop making out "
When I got home, they were still there.
I won't be doing that today!
