Jayaram and Urvashi — two of Malayalam cinema’s most beloved veterans — are back together on screen, and audiences have a lot to say. Parimala And Co, directed by Pandiraaj, hit theatres on June 5, 2026, and the Twitter verdict is in. Mixed, but mostly warm. Here’s everything you need to know before buying your ticket.

What’s the Film About?
The story centres on a middle-class family — headed by Parimala and his wife Sudhanthiram — whose daughters are humiliated by a local hoodlum. The family privately fantasises about killing him. But when the hoodlum actually turns up dead, family members start suspecting each other while an investigative officer closes in. Think Drishyam — but with dark comedy baked in. The central mystery of who really did it keeps the narrative rolling.
What Twitter Is Saying
Reactions are genuinely split, which makes this one interesting. Here’s the honest breakdown:
The positives: Several viewers called it a neat dramedy, praising how Pandiraaj layered a simple revenge plot into a mystery thriller with real comic punch. The film reportedly starts as a family entertainer and gradually shifts gears into a whodunit. Urvashi and Yogi Babu’s one-liners were repeatedly highlighted as the film’s biggest highlights. Mysskin was also singled out as the actor who holds the narrative together. One viewer specifically noted that after Thalaivan Thalaivii, Pandiraaj has consciously stepped out of his comfort zone — and mostly pulled it off.
The mixed verdict: Some felt the first 20 minutes drag before the film finds its footing. One reviewer gave it a measured thumbs-up — worth watching once in theatres, with conditions.
The criticism: At least one viewer called it Pandiraaj’s weakest film, feeling it didn’t deliver on the dark comedy promise. The comparison to Kathakali came up — the same director, similar premise, wildly different execution depending on how you look at it.
The overall sentiment leans toward a one-time theatrical watch for fans of the genre. For the latest South Indian movie reviews and updates, check out TechnoSports Entertainment.
Why Pandiraaj’s Films Always Generate Buzz
Pandiraaj is a director known for blending social commentary with sharp humour. According to Wikipedia’s overview of Tamil cinema, the industry has increasingly embraced dark comedy as a genre, with films that challenge conventional storytelling — and Pandiraaj sits comfortably in that tradition. Parimala And Co attempts to push those boundaries further, with mixed but notable results.
Should You Watch It?
If you enjoy slow-burn comedies that take a dark turn, and if veteran performances are your thing, yes — give it a shot. The Urvashi-Yogi Babu chemistry alone seems worth the price of a ticket. If you want a fast-paced, slick thriller with no rough edges, temper expectations.
