Someone please expand and improve the plot. The current plot is just a sketchy summary of the film. -- Charles Turing ( talk) 19:41, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Other than the detail that the filming started in 2015, the day or month of commencement of filming is unknown due to lack of sources. Anyone who can find it, please add it. -- Charles Turing ( talk) 19:56, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
The film had effectively utilized rain as a metaphor and was shot during the monsoon. Describing it, Dileesh pointed K. G. George directed 1982 film Yavanika as an influence for him to use rain as a part of the film's story-telling. The first half portion of Maheshinte Prathikaaram was shot in a rainy atmosphere or immediately after the rain when the clouds are clear. The rain is best used in the scene where the protagonist Mahesh bawls aloud at the midst of a downpour, after attending his girlfriend Sowmya's wedding. Thus the rain "becomes a metaphor to wash away the dreams had Mahesh built, essentially, giving him a new lease of life". It was the only time where they used a rain unit.
According to Sreehari Nair of Rediff.com, the film contain all the key qualities of a great short story. But in "its rhythm, in the way it effortlessly and almost lazily leaps from one episode to another and from one character to the other, the movie is closer to the Creative Non-Fiction style that Esquire magazine's writers of the 1960s pioneered". He also noted strong Left-wing ideologies over the film as director Dileesh being a leftist, indirectly using the idea of equality, that is an inherent part of their belief-system, are visible from the characters in the film, "A game one can play on every subsequent viewing of the movie is to note how a major character in one scene had appeared as a minor character in some scene before". All characters appearing in the film has well defined characteristics and importance.
In an interview to The Hindu, during the time of release, Fahadh defined the film as a "serious comedy". Irrespective of it's title, the film differ from earlier revenge centered films released in Malayalam. The film opens with the scene where Mahesh is seen bathing in a pond, humming a popular song from Narasimham (2000), which itself is a heavily action oriented cult film. The film also make mentions of the doomed fate of the character Sethumadhavan's vengeance in the films Kireedam (1989) and Chenkol (1993). The Times of India called it the "sweetest tale of revenge", the film "is not a regular revenge thriller; it has a heavy dose of rib-tickling comedy that stems from the actions of its rustic characters and their sensibilities...".
Also trim the intro, i can take a stab at it, but let the regulars in the article do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.215.192.70 ( talk) 01:59, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

The current size of Maheshinte Prathikaaram is 72K+ bytes. When an article's size increases beyond 40K+ bytes and the content related to music is nearly 10K+ bytes, separate soundtrack articles are created to avoid bloating of the main article.
In this case too, surely the section looks bloated, considering it is a four-song soundtrack. Consider creating a separate soundtrack article and summarising contents in the main article. For reference, you may go through Anjaan and its soundtrack.
No dead links, which is quite appreciable. However, i find some Malayalam sources being used as citations. In such cases, it is advised to add two more parameters to such references. One is |trans_title=
where one must add the translation of the article's title. Next is |language=
which is Malayalam in this case.
Good to see Malayalam film articles being developed to this scale. Once the Music section-related and the new set of comments are addressed, i shall pass this. Until then, its promotion is kept on hold. Its nominator, Charles Turing, has seven days. Good luck! Pavanjandhyala ( talk) 10:02, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

The article uses second names to refer to most people associated with the film, for eg, "Abu" for "Aashiq Abu", "Pothan" for "Dileesh Pothan" and "Faasil" for "Fahadh Faasil". The second names are patrynomic for all of them and cannot be used to refer to them. I don't understand why such serious errors are tolerated just to keep up with Western standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.167.89.162 ( talk) 13:48, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
