But Jeethu Joseph slammed the rumours and confirmed that Rachana Narayanankutty and Jyothi Krishna plays the female leads in the film. But Jeethu Joseph has beautifully made an ordinary life quite interesting. Jyothi Krishna is strictly adequate while Rachana Narayanankutty goes totally over the top with a screeching melodramatic performance. The movie 'Life of Josutty' is an experimental cinema from director , who gave Malayalam audiences a brilliant film like Drishyam. According to the reports, Nayantara has completed the filming of her portions under high security.

No scores for guessing that Josutty's marriage is a wreckage in construction, and when it eventually happens he tries his hand at setting up a business of his own. Anil Johnson's music is also apt for the story. Ravichandran's camera captures the stunning spectacles of both Kerala and New Zealand with equal ease. Its life - slow and steady like the beat of the heart.
On the whole, this is a family movie. Recently, some sources have reported that Nayantara will be playing a cameo role in the film. This disqualification becomes a barrier for him to marry her. These locations and the way they were presented definitely played an important role in keeping up the vibe of the movie. The writer did an excellent job in portraying every character in their own right. It is about Josutty's life from the age 8 to 38.
One to watch out for is Hareesh Peraady's performance as Josutty's father. Anil Johnson comes up with a delightful musical score. The boy grows up to be Josutty Dileep who does fall in love with the girl Jessymol Rachana Narayanankutty , and who feebly watches as she gets married off to someone else. Life Of Josutty, the movie which will have Dileep in the title character, is said to be a comical family entertainer. Supporting performances by actors as Hareesh Peradi and Nobi have to be acknowledged. Granted that there isn't really a need for a twist or suspense for a film to be a winner, but Josutty and his tale is triteness personified. Ravichandran's visuals are soulful be it the rustic farmer's life or the sleek New Zealand life.
Ridden with cliches, the latter half of 'Life of Josutty', flows down the banal stream, without much of an effort. Josutty is a sixth standard dropout. A few incidents happen which forrces Jesse away from Josutty. The former half of the film has some light moments thanks to Josutty's friends, and at least a couple of scenes bring the house down with their hilarity. All of the actors did an excellent job with their given roles and overall, the flow of story in the movie feels natural and relate- able to real life stories in terms of how many women and men succumb to the pressure of society and upholding family values by giving up their dreams. All of a sudden, he realises that everything he had believed to be true throughout life was wrong and he vows to live life to the fullest. Josutty now has a lot of problems and burdens to contend with on a daily basis.
The highs and lows of Josutty's life is what the movie is all about. The story sheds some light on the truth that we humans are little bit selfish about our own priorities - which is not necessarily same for everyone. The hitmaker states that reports regarding Nayantara's cameo appearance in the film was extremely surprising for him. Ordinary lives can appear undramatic at the best of times. He finally intends to live a happy life with Nayantara. Those snide comments on the sexual minorities, purely intended to rake in some laughter, could have been avoided as well.
Definitely, this movie deserves a spot in top 10 Malayalam movie for the year 2015. The attempts to make Josutty appear as a simpleton who is a bit too simple, at times backfires on the characterisation itself. After attaining monumental success after many trials and tribulations in his life, an unexpected epiphany leads him back to the straight and narrow path. Dileep does a neat job of playing Josutty, while of the three women actors, Ranjini Rupesh does a commendable job of playing Priya, who befriends Josutty in New Zealand. As a hen-pecked husband, he follows her to New Zealand only to find out that Rose has an extra-marital relationship with an ex-boyfriend.
