Being a period film, it hasn't disappointed the crowd. It has been a good watch.
Balyakalasakhi is a love story of Majeed (Mammotty) and Suhara (Isha Talwar). Their love towards each other has begun from their childhood itself. When the movie begins, Majeed is in search for a job at Calcutta, where he lose his bag and money. He receives help from Selvi (Seema Biswas) who introduces him to Ameen Sahib (Sasi Kumar).

Performances
Mammotty's double role performance as Majeed and his father has been the best in the film. He has acted very well. Isha Talwar as Suhara also was pretty good. All others has done justice to their roles, including the child artists.

Technical Aspects 
Cinematography by Hari Nair has been spectacular. He has done a good job. Music by late legend Raghavan Master and Shahabaz Aman is a treat for all those who love music.
Director Pramod Payyanur has done a neat job. The cinematic adaptation was not a easy job, but he has done a great job.

Verdict : A good movie, do watch it !
