As an ardent Dileep fan who has enjoyed the brunt of Dileep movies, Pavi Caretaker was a huge disappointment. Sure, the glances of the old Dileep are seen here and there, but the attempt to revive his old self or "vintage" has backfired terribly. What Dileep needs is a good script and the execution of it rather than a revival which is pointless.

The movie fails to hit the spot with its tasteless display of slapstick comedy which faded away from the trend a long time ago. Old Dileep movies had the abundant presence of physical comedy which was provenly quite hilarious during that time. But, experimenting something like that in front of an updated and anxious audience is futile.

It is not like a Dileep movie to not make me laugh in the slightest as this movie exactly did. Although in a few emotional scenes Dileep did prove that he has still got it in him. Which is why he should focus more on script selection.

Anyway, Pavi Caretaker turned out to be nothing but a reality check that I might have wait a little longer to see a Dileep blockbuster. And I hope that do happens soon.
