2 Penkuttikal Malayalam Movie Review
This frequently asked question is widely discussed and debated. Stereotypes aside, are there really any difference between boys and girls?
Our society is predominantly patriarchal but the situation has changed significantly over the past decades. All thanks to the spread of several kinds of campaigns for women empowerment. And the same was more or less seen in many Malayalam movies.
One such movie is 2 Penkuttikal directed by Jeo Baby. 2 Penkuttikal is about two girls played by Anna Fathima as Achu and Shyam Bhavi as Anagha. Though both of them hail from extremely different backgrounds, they like to stick together sharing and caring for each other. While Achu’s mother takes care of her by teaching her about how courteous, coy, pleasant, well dressed and well-mannered girls should be; Anagha’s mom teaches her to be independent, choosy and decisive in life.
The buddies Achu and Anagha, one day, decide to bunk class and venture out to enjoy their freedom. But that particular day changes their life, leading them to part ways. What happens after that makes for the plot of the movie.
Story Plot
The film discusses issues faced by young girls and women in our society. Achu and Anagha are close friends, who decide to bunk their class to visit a mall in the city. Their visit to the city changes their life and what happens next form the crux of “2 Penkuttikal”.

Manorama Online
“Anna, who had received the 2014 Kerala State Award for the Best Child Actress proves her mettle as a child artist in the movie. Shyam Bhavi is a natural actress and plays her part well. Both lead stars have managed to impress the audience. Even with just cameo roles, Tovino, Amala Paul and Anju Kurian make their presence felt. A narrative with a social message, 2 Penkuttikal is not a mere female-centric movie, but one that upholds humanity.
“The goodness, reflected through the leading characters in the movie,is something people can take home with them. As it’s rightly said, men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but we ought to be ourselves. After all, each of us learn from the inspiration and support gained from the other one, however different from us.”

Awesome movie. Touched my heart! It is not about feminism or made for the sake of making a movie. But about our very basic rights to fight for what we love or believe should be changed. An eye opener indeed !
One time watchable movie with nice theme. Socially relevant film of the year. Music & bgm were the highlights of the film. Thanks for the producer who had gifted this film to our society. My rating 4/5
Social relevant…mesmerizing music.. must watch for all girls and family.. all the best for the crew behind the movie…the lead roles by the two kids are so amazing…
Words are not enough to decribe the social content provided in the movie… .. simply AWESOMEE. LOVED IT just made it simple and the two children… they just rocked with their fabulous acting… surely they are gonna rock in their film career
This is a movie that points out the social issues which a women faces in her life from birth. I’ll say it is a mandatory movie for a human being. Congrats to all the people who worked for this awesome movie…
