Bachu aka Basheeruddin’s (Basil Joseph) father Kamaruddin decides to return from Qatar to spend the rest of his life in his village.

Entertainment

Bachu’s parents want him to leave for Qatar, but he is reluctant to go. Amid mounting debts, he tries taking care of his mother Nabeesa (Sreeja Ravi) and sister.

Entertainment

However, a tragedy strikes the family. A day before his Kerala trip, Bachu’s father dies in Qatar. Bachu has to get the body back.

Entertainment

This is Basil Joseph’s career-best performance as he portrays all the emotions subtly. Bachu’s efforts to get his father’s body back to his village evoke anger and sadness.

Entertainment

Harshad presents the story from the point of view of the common people. He criticises the government’s response during the pandemic.

Entertainment

Director Muhasin meticulously incorporates real incidents and sad realities into the story.

Entertainment

All the characters in Kadina Kadoramee Andakadaham have their own identities.

Entertainment

Sreeja Ravi as Bachu’s mother Nabeesa is a strong character, too. She does justice to the role. Fara Shibla as Bushra is a surprising package.

Entertainment

Swathy Das as Asu gets little screen space but she is impressive. Jaffer Idukki, Indrans, Sudheesh and Nirmal Palazhi have pivotal roles to play.

The songs of the movie by Govind Vasantha were good. The cinematography by S Mundol and Arjun Sethu was perfect.
