The movie from the actor turned director Mahesh,has a stellar star cast with Prithviraj, Navya Nair,Mukesh and yesteryear heartthrob Zarina Wahab donning the pivotal roles .Calender '' has Zarina as a college lecturer Thankom George,a lady widowed at an younger age ,who desisted to remarry, to take care of her daughter .Building her whole world around her and sharing an intense relation with her daughter, Kochurani ,Thankom is not even able to sleep one night without her. Into the life of Kochurani ,who is now at college arrives Sojappan, a fun-loving ,businessman,who is but a school dropout.Through their mutual friend Manjoorana(Jagathy),sojappan makes a proposal ,but Thankaom tries to discourage him from the relation , as she doesn't like to get separated from her daughter .
Three years after, in another town ,the viewers witness Dr.RoyPhilip (mukesh), a medical officer in Manjooran's hospital ,who starts a liking for kochuRani. Again the same problem of possessiveness between the mother and daughter arises , which together with some mysteries associated with their past ,builds up the tension that finally explodes between Thankom and Kochurani.
Bottom Line
==========
Calendar - is a watchable fare
Calender is all about feelings. Mostly 'real emotions,' about the psyche of a single mother ,who hates to face loneliness.And when the handpicked moments essaying the obsession between the mother and her daughter ,fails to relate with the viewers who resist to laugh and cry with the characters ,the movie turns overly melo- dramatic with out the needed intensity.
