### Plot
Jomon is the wayward, carefree son of Vincent, a rich businessman, and is not considered responsible enough for his age. When the family unexpectedly lands in a financial crisis, a different side of the young man emerges.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/jomonte-suvisheshangal) Rotten Tomatoes' synopsis adds that Jomon sells his father's shop to invest in a new venture with a friend, and becomes more responsible after the business fails.[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/jomonte_suvisheshangal) During this difficult phase he meets Vydehi, a simple, mature girl played by [Aishwarya Rajesh](https://www.edgepedia.org/aishwarya-rajesh), and bonds with her; earlier in the film he is in love with Catherine ([Anupama Parameswaran](https://www.edgepedia.org/anupama-parameswaran)), whom he meets at Sunday mass at his father's insistence.[3](https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/jomonte-suvisheshangal-dulquer-salmaan-sathyan-anthikad-movie-re.html) • [8](https://www.netflixmovies.com/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017) The story centers on family values and the relationship between Jomon and his father.[1](https://www.behindwoods.com/malayalam-movies/jomonte-suviseshangal/jomonte-suviseshangal-review.html)
## Production and release
Shooting wrapped in November 2016, with the film announced as a Christmas release. A strike in the Malayalam film industry pushed the theatrical date to 19 January 2017.[4](https://www.nowrunning.com/jomonte-suvisheshangal-shoot-wrapped-up/126515/story.htm) • [1](https://www.behindwoods.com/malayalam-movies/jomonte-suviseshangal/jomonte-suviseshangal-review.html) The makers released the film without a trailer, after an official promo and two song teasers had already built expectations.[9](https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-news/jomonte-suvisheshangal-be-released-without-trailer.html) • [3](https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/jomonte-suvisheshangal-dulquer-salmaan-sathyan-anthikad-movie-re.html) It was Anthikad's 55th film and his first collaboration with Dulquer Salmaan; the script reunited the director with Iqbal Kuttippuram, with whom he had earlier worked on *Vikramadithyan* and *Oru Indian Pranayakatha*.[1](https://www.behindwoods.com/malayalam-movies/jomonte-suviseshangal/jomonte-suviseshangal-review.html) • [9](https://www.manoramaonline.com/movies/movie-news/jomonte-suvisheshangal-be-released-without-trailer.html)
The film is set in Thrissur, with Jomon speaking the Thrissur dialect of a Christian family.[10](https://malayalam.filmibeat.com/news/what-is-connection-between-geogeattante-pooram-jomonte-suviseshangal-031050.html) Aishwarya Rajesh, known for the Tamil film *Kaakka Muttai*, made her Malayalam debut with the movie, and Anupama Parameswaran took a major Malayalam role after *Premam* (2015).[4](https://www.nowrunning.com/jomonte-suvisheshangal-shoot-wrapped-up/126515/story.htm) • [11](https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/jomonte-suvisheshangal-review-dulquer-salmaan-sathyan-movie.html) • [12](https://reviewreels.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017/) The supporting cast includes Innocent as Palodan, Jacob Gregory as Muzthaq, Manobala as Perumal, Vinu Mohan as Jomon's brother, and [Muthumani](https://www.edgepedia.org/muthumani) as Jomon's sister.[8](https://www.netflixmovies.com/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017)
## Reception and box office
The film opened to packed houses across roughly 300 screens in Kerala, with strong advance booking, and reviewers at the first shows described a neatly knit first half and a slower, more emotional second half.[3](https://www.onmanorama.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/jomonte-suvisheshangal-dulquer-salmaan-sathyan-anthikad-movie-re.html) The Times of India gave it 3.0 out of 5, calling it worth watching for Dulquer Salmaan's charm and moments of relatable family drama.[13](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/jomonte-suvisheshangal/movie-review/56665398.cms) Critics were divided on the writing: [The Hindu](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-hindu)'s reviewer called it the Sathyan Anthikad version of the similarly themed *Jacobinte Swargarajyam*, while iFlickz judged that the second half followed a safe line rather than taking risks.[14](https://www.moviebuff.com/jomonte-suviseshangal/reviews/critics) The music by Vidyasagar was called weak by one reviewer, below both his own and the director's usual standard.[14](https://www.moviebuff.com/jomonte-suviseshangal/reviews/critics)
On the financial side, Cinegraph lists a budget of about $1 million and revenue of about $6 million.[6](https://cinegraph.org/movies/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017) The Numbers records $28,447 at the United Kingdom box office from a wide release there on 3 February 2017, the only international territory it tracks for the film.[5](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Jomonte-Suvisheshangal-%28India%29-%282017%29)
## Comparison with Jacobinte Swargarajyam
The film has drawn parallels, in various forums, with [Vineeth Sreenivasan](https://www.edgepedia.org/vineeth-sreenivasan)'s *Jacobinte Swargarajyam* (2016), which shares its core premise of a business family's collapse and a son's response to it.[12](https://reviewreels.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017/) One reviewer wrote that Anthikad's film made the earlier movie look like a classic by comparison.[12](https://reviewreels.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/jomonte-suvisheshangal-2017/) A Filmibeat report from before release also noted that both it and Dileep's *Georgettan's Pooram* were Christmas contenders with similar stories, Thrissur settings, and Christian family backgrounds.[10](https://malayalam.filmibeat.com/news/what-is-connection-between-geogeattante-pooram-jomonte-suviseshangal-031050.html)
