One day Vijayan is offered a job but he refuses it and cites that he is not feeling well. As for the circumstances they allow him to stay in their home for the sake of elections. And the pet owner gets the video of Chithra in which she takes the parrot. While attending the first holy communion of Abraham's daughter, Kalesh's wife Chithra abducts one Macaw. Kalesh is the MLA of this particular constituency and the next election is nearing. The pet shop is a concern to many of his neighbours. He had come to this place years back with a circus troupe. The boat has already been missed, and the dock has been long closed.The story revolves around Vijayan Joseph Muhammed, a unique person who owns a pet shop. There is a final sewing up of the loose pieces that is expected to do the film good, but you are hardly concerned by then. It’s all fun, especially if all you are looking for is a bunch of charming animals, with an imposing story nowhere in sight. There is also an array of fine looking animals that range from an elephant to a camel, a herd of donkeys, a pack of impressive dogs, screeching macaws, a flock of emus, a team of horses, and what not. An ever dependable actor as Anusree does the same, while actors as Mallika Sukumaran, Salim Kumar, Dharmajan, Maniyanpillai Raju and Joju George appear in key supporting roles. Kunchacko Boban seems to have no idea as to what he’s doing in this film, and affably plays along with whatever he has been offered. A hundred questions spring to your mind regarding the irrationality that hangs around in the air, but then, none of it raises any stake, anyway. Forget the fact that it is hardly convincing, the film literally gets stuck in a groove at this point, hardly making any progression beyond it. The twist in the tale arrives through some CCTV camera footage that captures one of the characters involved in theft. There is also one that involves the MLA himself who goes out jogging in the morning and who is eagerly joined by a woman jogger (Devichandana) who obviously has quite a few stories to tell. That said, there are a few scenes that do bring in some authentic laughter, like the one where the pet shop owner decides that an air conditioned KSRTC Volvo bus could be the perfect venue to strike up a land deal with potential buyers. So are the characters, like the maid who keeps scrubbing floors, since she has been having too much of a drink or the enforcement officials led by an officer (Tini Tom) who ends up having more than he bargained for after the search, on his shoulders. The story as such, has none of the flair that the actor futilely tries to bring in, and is a mishmash of botched up scenes, some of which are downright awkward. There is nothing remarkable about the character as it is, except that he comes across as a humanitarian and an animal lover, but Jayaram does transform him into a quaint, mysterious bundle with an almost limping gait and a loud, halted accent. Jayaram, who plays the nameless man who has devoted his life to the animals, is the (only) reason why you should, if at all, take a look at ‘Panchavarnathatha’ at the screens. When a friend (Maniyanpillai Raju) requests him to oust a pets dealer (Jayaram) from the residential colony, Kalesh agrees to the needful, with disastrous consequences. Kalesh (Kunchacko Boban) is an MLA who is getting all ready for the elections again, and while his wife Chithra (Anusree) and his mother (Mallika Sukumaran) aren’t sure of his winning prospects, has absolutely no doubts regarding his victory. This scene sets off an alarm on what is to follow, and Ramesh Pisharody’s directorial debut turns out to be a vehicle that has its wheels all over the place. There is a forewarning that outshines everything else in the first scene of ‘Panchavarnathatha’ where a man who pretends to be a DJ blows up the audience’s ears with music that is way too deafening.
