Shefeekinte Santhosham



Shefeek (Unni Mukundan) is a happy-go-lucky guy who wishes good for everyone around him. People in his village, which includes his longtime girlfriend Sainaba (Divya Pillai) and his close friend Ameer (Bala), eagerly await his arrival. As he packed things, he decided to purchase some gifts for all those who helped him in the past. The trouble Shafique had to face due to one of those gifts and how it changed his life drastically is what we witness in Shefeekkinte Santhosham. Life takes a sudden U-turn on the day of his engagement when Shefeek gets arrested for a serious crime. The movie portrays his understanding about life after that. He almost loses everything he held dear.

The film is all about Shefeek trying to create happiness in others’ lives and ultimately realising that it is important to take care of his happiness. Happiness is a perspective. Also, it's a paradox. Shefeekinte Santhosham can be added to the latter.

There is the concept of happiness, sacrifice, betrayal, orphan, but something was lacking in the movie. Probably a good screenplay.
