#Home (2021) Movie Review: Dazzling Digital World and the Disconnected E-Hemispheres of Modern Man

Rojin Thomas’ “#Home,” released in 2021, is a relatable and light-hearted story that showcases how the technologically illiterate father, Oliver Twist (Indrans), struggles hard to bridge the gap between his sons, who are immersed in the world of social media and smartphones. The importance of family ties, humane assets, the journey of self-discovery, an empathetic attitude, and mastering the mysteries of smartphones are narrated in an endearing and humorous manner. This is not just the reel life of Oliver Twist and his family but the real-life story of many residing within the same home, yet disconnected from each other and drifting apart to their own e-hemispheres of life.

The middle-aged father, Oliver Twist, struggles to make sense of the fast-changing world. He notices that his eldest son, Anthony (Sreenath Bhasi), is very fond of interacting with people on the phone instead of talking to someone beside him. Anthony faces writer’s block and digital addiction that impedes his ability to complete the script of his upcoming film, or perhaps it’s utter laziness. Oliver’s nomophobic son exhibits a strong sense of revulsion when he’s pushed to speak directly with another human being next to him. Anthony represents the young generation who values digital relations more than anything else. They are unable to value the worth of a person close to them. They place online relationships on a pedestal.

Oliver is the digitally unsavvy father of two indifferent sons: Antony Oliver Twist, a film director with one super hit, currently struggling with his second script; Charles (Naslen K Gafoor), the younger son who is a social media geek creating YouTube vlogs for anything and everything around him. Oliver has retired from his obsolete video cassette business and shifted his passion to his organic terrace garden. Oliver also cares for his ailing father and does the household chores willingly. Oliver’s wife, Kuttiyamma (Manju), is a typical sharp-tongued housewife whose nursing proficiency helps give great care to all in the family, especially Oliver’s father.

Oliver spends a lot of time with his childhood and dearest friend, Suryan, who stands with him in all the crests and troughs of life. Oliver feels free to confide his emotional agonies and the indifferent-cum-insulting behavior of Anthony to Suryan. “# Home” brings forth the challenging actuality of the present day, where everyone remains connected but living in their digital cocoon, clinging to their personal gadgets. This is a heart-warming family drama where social media turns out to be the villain, affecting the relationship between a father and his son.

Anthony, who had success with his debut film, is leading a disorderly existence as he is striving hard to finish the climax of his second film. Baby, the film producer, grows impatient as Anthony is unable to finish the script. The producer asks him to write the last act from the same place where he wrote his successful debut, i.e., home. Antony has a deadline of seven days. Antony’s relationship with his girlfriend, Priya (Deepa Thomas), also does not run smoothly, as he is least bothered by her emotional requirements. They express their hidden and unheard feelings to each other in the form of ‘emotional athyachar’ through Instagram stories.

Oliver, a beginner in the social media world, learns new things from many, including his younger son. Oliver tells Kuttiyamma that the problem between Anthony and Priya is some ‘emotional achar’ that both of them are unaware of. While interacting with a mobile phone shopkeeper, Oliver mispronounces Instagram as ‘installment.’ He frankly admits his ignorance and has a willing and affirmative mindset to learn the nuances of the online world from others. When Oliver asks Charles to teach him how to use WhatsApp and Facebook and how to pay bills, Charles impatiently tells him: Papa, you have come with one year’s syllabus to be taught. Oliver resembles many fathers of the present day who approach their children with a notebook to clarify their doubts and jot down the tips to be remembered for future use.

“#Home” beautifully captures the ironies of the highly connected world and the dying culture of person-to-person interaction. The film, which is written and directed by Rojin Thomas, speaks the truth of the present times. It puts in perspective how technology has brought the world closer and, at the same time, driven us away from the people who matter to us the most. The characters and their interpersonal dynamics possess a lived-in feel, especially Indrans, who has an extraordinary sense of presence.

The film talks in detail about the new-age parenting challenges. It also reflects on how technology is reshaping lives in every conceivable way, especially the way people interact with their surroundings. “#Home” will make one analyze the importance and consideration the present generation bestows upon relationships. Despite all the humiliations showered on him by his sons, Oliver is ready to do anything for them. He willingly consults a psychologist to bring changes in his life. He does not feel anything wrong in taking the advice of an expert to better his life. It does bring changes in his entire personality. The film acknowledges the importance of mental health in day-to-day life and why our mental peace should not be overlooked.

Anthony undergoes a sea change into ‘something rich and strange’ towards the close of the film. His rebellious nature gets a reformation, and he willingly accepts his flaws, thereby posting a note on social media in his handwriting with mistakes and overwriting. Anthony was so worried about his personality being evaluated by others. Hence, he wished to project a perfect version of himself far apart from his true self. He accepts all his frailties and pronounces, ‘I am always imperfect at my Home.’ Anthony views life afresh with all his imperfections. He ascertains that home is the only place where people are loved and cared for selflessly, irrespective of the dramas they do daily to fit into society.

Rojin Thomas has succeeded in deciphering the diverse shades of human relations. The movie shares a boundless message with an outstanding climax. “#Home” is fundamentally a tale of acceptance. One must accept one’s family with its simplicity. The family members need not be extraordinary people or superhumans to feel proud of them. A person has to be accepted and acknowledged by the way they are. Home is the right place for that, and the renowned poet, Robert Frost’s quote remains true in this context: “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in” (Frost,1).

#Home (2021) is a must-watch for those who feel and sense the imperfectly perfect versions of their own selves at home.

#Home: The heartfelt family drama that you should watch this Onam

#home movie review: amazon prime video's latest malayalam film #home beautifully captures the ironies of the highly connected world and the dying culture of person-to-person interaction..

When IBM first invented the world’s first smartphone called Simon Personal Communicator, the tech giant may have never thought the kind of monster it would become. Then, Steve Jobs came along and revolutionized mobile phones forever. The phones were no longer a mere tool to communicate; they radically changed the world and the way we perceive it. They replaced our libraries, book stores, newspapers and magazines. They turned everyone into a paparazzo and rendered photographers stationed at popular tourist spots jobless. They replaced our banks, music systems, and televisions. And more importantly, it has radically changed the way we interact with people in our personal life and social circle.

Amazon Prime Video’s latest Malayalam film #Home beautifully captures the ironies of the highly connected world and the dying culture of person-to-person interaction. The film, which is written and directed by Rojin Thomas, speaks the truth of our times. It puts in perspective how technology has brought the world closer and at the same time, drove us away from the people who matter to us the most.

Oliver Twist (played by a wonderful Indrans) is struggling to make sense of the fast-changing world. He notices that his eldest son Antony (Sreenath Bhasi) is very fond of interacting with people on the phone as opposed to talking to someone standing right next to him. Antony has been enslaved by his smartphone. So much so that as a sign of his servitude, he keeps his head always down, eyes boring into his phone. He hardly looks into the eyes of his family and friends. And when he does, he has nothing kind to say. All he feels is a strong sense of revulsion when he’s pushed to speak directly with another human being without the intermediary services of his mobile phone.

So Oliver Twist tries to learn how to operate a smartphone, hoping it would allow more ‘face time’ with his son, who lives in the next room of the same house. But, Oliver’s innocence and kindness are too fragile to survive the nasty world of the internet and social media. Things get ugly. Not for Oliver but for Antony. You can’t expect privacy at home after letting smartphones invade every aspect of your life, can you?

The hero of #Home is not a successful filmmaker, who is stuck on a creative block. Or a teenager, who is trying to become an internet celebrity. Or a successful author, who has an inspiring intellect. The hero of the film is someone who we take for granted in our lives. A man, who has done everything in his capacity to support his children’s dream and now struggles to find a respectable place at home, which he created. He is also a reminder of a generation and a period in human history when people used to value time and relationships and certain skill set like a good handwriting that would make an apology letter too good to reject.

Indrans is so natural in his role as a compassionate and forgiving father, who can’t understand why his son is afraid of his own feelings and so insecure. But, like a true hero, he never gives up on his son. He keeps his hope alive that one day, his son would stop being so harsh with him and show him some affection.

There is more to #Home than its main subject of people’s growing digital addiction. At the heart of this slice-of-life movie lies a universal drama, which unfolds in every Indian household. In a way, it is as effective a film as The Great Indian Kitchen. While the Jeo Baby directorial made patriarchal husbands squirm in their seats, #Home would do the same to cocky, egoistic and ungrateful sons, who never appreciate the contributions of their father to their life.

#Home Movie Review: An eminently comforting film with relatable characters

Rating: ( 3.5 / 5).

There is a scene in #Home where Indrans is sitting inside a restaurant separated from the relatively younger and 'cooler' members of his family. I once happened to see the exact real-life version of this scene when I went to a restaurant alone. This father was seated in front of me -- because my table had only one person -- while his son, wife, and kids occupied a different table. Indrans' character, Oliver Twist, reminded me of him. They couldn't have picked a better actor to play him.

Director: Rojin Thomas Cast: Indrans, Sreenath Bhasi, Naslen, Manju Pillai, Kainakary Thankaraj Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

Like the father in the above anecdote, the actor can convey volumes without saying anything. You can tell what he is thinking by simply looking at his face. Each member of the film's central family -- Kainakary Thankaraj as the grandfather; Indrans, the father; Manju Pillai, the mother; and Sreenath Basi and Naslen as their sons Anthony and Charles, respectively -- seems to experience this alienation to a certain degree. They seem to exist in separate compartments while living under the same roof.

When we meet Anthony, he is a filmmaker with a single film to his name, leading a disorderly existence. He has been struggling to complete the climax of his second film. The producer (Maniyanpilla Raju) is growing impatient by the day. The latter suggests that he write the last act in the same place where he wrote his successful debut. It's a nice segue to the film's title. Is a chaotic, messy lifestyle with your loved ones better than the same with yourself? #Home seeks to answer this question while addressing a lot of other things.

#Home is not so much an English Vinglish -style story of a person trying to learn about something as a document of a fictitious family, told like an epic (duration: 160 mins). I loved how the film gives equal space to every character and takes its time to bring out their peculiar characteristics. It packs so many relatable Indian moments: the mother trying to wake her son up by increasing the fan's speed; the same lazy son not bothering to put back all the teacups; and the two sons occasionally peeping inside the refrigerator because, as one of them says, "It's a habit, just like checking the phone all the time." Before I sat down to write this review, I came across at least four people who told me they saw themselves or their parents in these characters. For instance, Oliver notes down everything he learns about social media apps in a diary. My mother does that. If she saw this film, I'm sure she would be pointing to this scene like Leonardo DiCaprio in that meme. And Sreenath Bhasi's Anthony represents a multitude of young Indian men forced to detach themselves for the sake of work. Anthony is not the 'bad guy' here; his plight is perfectly understandable if you have experienced/are experiencing the same.

Yes, on the surface, #Home appears to be a story of a man trying to fill the emotional void caused by the technological divide and generational gap. But it's also, primarily, an emotionally overpowering story of self-acceptance. You could call it the 'coming-of-age' of a man in his 60s, triggered by a particular incident that becomes a major cause of embarrassment for Anthony, the filmmaker, and guilt for Oliver. It's a relief to see Indrans not play him too seriously. Oliver is, after all, someone who doesn't make a huge deal about all the conflicts he encounters. He has a sense of humour, and in some cases, he is not even trying to invoke laughter. It just happens organically, and who better than an actor blessed with an incredible flair for comedy. One of my favourite moments in the film has Anthony approaching a superstar named Vishal (Anoop Menon) to pitch his script, and he sees that the former has taken a liking to Oliver instead of him. Another wonderfully comical moment has Oliver accompanying his best friend Suryan (Johnny Antony in another hilarious performance) to a psychologist (Vijay Babu, vibrant as usual).

I must give #Home props for using this last stretch to address India's mental health stigma. Though initially apprehensive about the thought of anyone seeking expert help, Oliver doesn't take too long to warm up to the idea and eliminate whatever misconceptions he may have - learning the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist, for instance - even when his friend remains severely sceptical. The film makes some pertinent points even when the delivery seems straight out of an awareness video at times.

However, one thing that puzzled me is the choice of music in several places. I wonder why the makers chose to overstuff the film with generic, unmemorable tunes to inform us of the emotion of each scene? Since most actors here possess the gift of subtle expression, it's awkward when each performance gets constantly underscored by a corresponding piece of music to tell us what we are supposed to feel at a given point. Isn't everything evident without the inclusion of music? Not that there is anything wrong with using it -- it's cinema, after all -- but it would've worked better in moderation for a 160-min duration film. The familiarity of some musical choices begins to wear one down after a point. Sometimes the music is as intrusive as Charles' noisy demands.

Fortunately, the film's heavily poignant ending redeems its minor shortcomings. It got me teary-eyed in a way that no other recent Malayalam film managed to do. I must thank the makers for doing a film that helps reverse, to a certain extent, the after-effects of some of the dark Malayalam thrillers released recently.

Review by Michael James ★★★½

Home is where the heart is. A warm family drama with sweet melting emotions. It’s a simple story revolving around the chaos and conflicts surrounding an innocent affable 60 year old man, who tries to catch up and win over his new gen tech savvy sons, addicted to the social media lifestyle. Indrans, is the real show stealer. 20 minutes into the movie, you connect with him emotionally and start to root for him. The movie has its flaws, becomes a bit redundant during the later hour with a flimsy finish, but nevertheless, the writing and characterizations are solid, beautifully capturing the different shades of relationship within the family members in a humorous and lighthearted manner. The background score high on strings, creates a perfect soothing vibe. A refreshing, relatable and a satisfying movie, which must be watched with the whole family.

Review by Arun George ★★★½ 3

The best thing about #Home is that it gives a veteran performer like Indrans an opportunity (in 2021) to act his heart out. #Home is everything you can expect given its title. Thematically, it heavily borrows from Sreenivasan's Kadha Parayumbol in its climactic moments but writer-director Rojin Thomas successfully infuses a huge dose of relatability to the proceedings before we get there. The (slightly excessive) melodrama in the end makes me reduce half a star in a film that gets its humor going pretty early on. Everyone on the film's poster (or otherwise) does well - conveying the right emotions with ease.

Malayalam March Challenge #4

Home is where the heart is ❤️ Hits so much when you actually have a family issue; daddy issue and you see films as an escape but it teaches you much more things about relationship, love and family. Absolutely beautiful film. Cried. Malayalam cinema is truly CINEMA. And I haven’t even discovered much im just at the tip of the of iceberg!

CINEMA about CINEMA gotta be favourite genre💯

Review by Shaurya Jha ★★★★½ 5

Malayalam Cinema is something else. For one of my final films for the Malayalam March challenge, I chose #Home, and I'm so glad of this decision of mine. First of all, a special thank you note to my friend Kibriya for suggesting me to watch this film. Thanks man ❤️.

Home is a beautiful film showcasing the dynamics of a family and it's all done so meticulously well. I love films which tackle the problems or bonding between members of a family. There's so much in these films that just hit your heart and make you feel the characters and their emotions and that's exactly what Home did to me. I was emotionally invested in these characters and their journey…

Review by Akshay Kannan ★★★★

Although the same saviour storyline was fed to us in different coatings over time, this was too relatable and emotional to be just dismiss it like other knock offs. Some of the dialogues really hit hard.

The director jumped the line quite a few times hoping the audience will follow through, the film had enough soul in it for us follow through the road the director was taking us.

The meta approach in this film is something i enjoyed , it was just the right amount to get the jokes and references while not bothering us too much.

It also shines light on the daily life of a master procastinator like me who just watches movies and writes reviews other than doing something productive.

Review by Rupali ★★★★ 3

Watched this with my parents and we cried 😭❤️ . Thankyou Vivek bhaiya rulane ke liye😔🫂

Review by Ashwani Kumar ★★★½

This is absolutely one of those good manipulative films that function to make you feel certain things at certain points. Home is also an important narrative that needed to be told because the advent of technology has definitely aggravated the generation gap, thwarting an unfair burden on the last generation to adjust to the contemporary expectations of the technology. Indrans stunning performance is so nuanced and well intentioned that he made me feel home. But on another hand, Home plays with a bias, in favour of the last generation and much against the new generation. That being said, there's no vilification and almost everything is actually true when you try to recall your own attitude and experience.

The biggest flaw…

Review by Rohan Ray ★★★★ 2

This was as thoughtful as any other Malayalam movie, but I was just surprised by how well the story was crafted till the last second of it.

#Home is more like a reflection of a household, of a life that is just looked upon daily but never appreciated. At one point, the story felt like it was about the Father's Character or Anthony's but in reality, the movie deeply dived into the account of how ignorant and not so accepting lives we all are living. The movie mocks the daily inexperience of lives but also does not mock at the same time by clearing out the questions it asks. I have seen a lot of movies that play along with…

Review by punchdrunkpenny ★★★

Home is flawed. Home is preachy. It’s what you can call a could’ve been jis joy padam. It does remind you of Kadha Parayambol and Big Fish. Having said all, it has somehow managed to get all its heart at the right places.

P.S : Charles Oliver Twist is a rockstar!!!

#Home Movie Review: A Crowded Canvas That Dilutes the Story of a Technologically Challenged Man

Gautaman Bhaskaran

#Home has little to offer, except Indrans' fine piece of acting. It is really disappointing when compared with director Rojin Thomas' 2015 film Joe and the Boy.

Director: Rojin Thomas
