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.

Director tried to bring the vintage Dileep back but literally failed. Mostly cliche scenes and nothing different. More over nowadays people dont like Dileep movies. In my town where usually movies get filled soon during weekend but to my surprise i see no tickets are booked till now..Dileep must try something different in future like negative role , uncle , father or elder brother like that.

Other factor it resembles most of his old hit movis like Body guard , Parakkum Thalika ,vettom etc. If this movie was released during 90's would have been a hit. But not in 2024 for sure. Better luck next time with some senior character role..
