To me, this movie is perfection.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is a well directed film that is worth a watch. It also gives a glimpse into the life in Dubai for those who would be interested in that.Playboy doctor Arun lives a lavish life on credit in Dubai, not regretting the past and no worrying about his future, until a time when he realizes that his style of living has cause problems for him and others,and he has to make his way out of them.The reason for title of this film is evident only after half the film is done. The film talks about Pre Marital issues, explores the benefits of Positive thinking despite varying problems, the value of relationships in times of trouble, how a person's conscience can lead to difficulty in making decisions. It has pretty melodious songs.The film is however too lengthy, and you need to have the patience to sit through it for over 2 and a half hours to enjoy it. All actors have played their respective roles well, and the depiction of Dubai is really natural.Go for it

Lal Jose and Iqbal Kuttipuram has teamed up again to create a masterpiece. This is so far the best movie by the duo. Kuttipuram has been able to see the lifestyle of the ambitious youngsters who get blinded by the money they earn at a very young age. The movie is a depiction of the life of a doctor working in Dubai living the "good life". "No regrets about the past No worries about the future just living in the present" attitude which all flips when banks refuse to loan him any more money.Being broke he gets things which money can't buy. A movie which shows glimpses of the meaning o life. Just brilliant.

Dr. Arun Kumar leads a flashy life in Dubai, living each day to its fullest. Trouble is, he's living today by borrowing from tomorrow. He has amassed a staggering debt in his playboy lifestyle, but continues to charm his way out of short term problems. But life starts to catch up to him.The story covers his romance with a coworker, flirtation with a rich socialite, played by Samvritha, and reluctant marriage to a naive village girl from Kerala as he gets deeper and deeper into debt.The fiscal irresponsibility portrayed is simply outrageous, but sadly, realistic. Dubai does seem to tempt one to live beyond one's means.The title refers to the diamond necklace belonging to the rich socialite, something that Dr. Arun gets several opportunities to steal. That would cover his debt partly, but Arun is not a thief... But how long could he last before giving in to temptation and cross that threshold?Overall, a very well crafted, down to earth movie - one of the better releases from Malayalam this year.

After the hit movie 'Arabikatha', the next movie from the Lal Jose-Iqbal Kuttipuram, Diamond Necklace is just an average flick.The movie got a superb plot, directed well by Lal Jose, pictured well by Samir, and above all, the superb performane from the lead actors. Then what made this average. Its nothing else other than the script. The script failed to deliver the plot well. Felt Iqbal was unaware about where to stop scenes, where to move next etc., which happened to him in 'Sevenes' also.The credit goes to Lal jose, Samir and the actors especially Fahad, Samvrita, Gauthamy and Anusree for holding the movie to make it an average one.The last 20-25 minutes till the climax was superb and it made me to clap at the end of the movie. There the script was also nice. But the rest was the problem and it felt dragging in parts.Considering the performance, Fahad again rocked as Dr.Arun. He will be an asset for mollywood. Samvrita was cute to see and performed well especially in the hospital scene. Gauthami and Anusree did their part well. Rest all, Sreenivasan, Revathy etc did justice to their roles.
