‘Immanuel’ is a simple tale that brings out the goodness of a man caught in today’s materialistic world

Immanuel (Mammootty) works in a publishing house and lives with his wife and son. The publishing house is not doing well and Immanuel has not been paid his salary for the past few months.  But this simple soul finds it hard to confront his boss for his dues despite several pressing needs of the family.
The film gets rolling with Immanuel’s son preparing him to boldly confront his boss. When he reaches work he is shocked to find his boss missing and the publishing house in the hands of its debtors.
As Immanuel leaves the premises crestfallen, the security guard hands him an envelope, a letter written to him by the publisher. His boss has left him a few thousands of rupees besides suggesting that he meet a friend, who manages an insurance company for employment.
Immanuel joins this private insurance company, where he is a fish out of water. For one with a clerical background to drive sales figures is not easy finds Immanuel. Not to forget a domineering boss, Jeevan (Fahad Fazil) barking orders and setting targets for him. He realizes that the company driven by profits cared less for its clients, even to the extent of denying them their claims as in the case of Khadeeja, a poor widow pursuing her husband’s death claim. Nor does it show compassion for a cancer survivor with a child trying to meet her medical bills. Immanuel also realizes that the young generation in their quest for money and fame had no qualms of cheating their co-workers.
The film hits out at Corporates and their work ethics while gently reminding us of compassion, friendship, love for the family and more, which seem to have been left behind in today’s race for success.
Jose has etched out his characters beautifully. Be it Immanuel, an ordinary individual, who just follows his heart, or his wife Anne (Reenu Mathews) with her little dream of purchasing a house of their own, or their son (Gauri Shankar) who hero worships his father.
Mammootty carries this role with aplomb. Dubai resident, Reenu Mathews fits into her role perfectly. You will love Gauri Shankar and the cute moments he shares with his father. Once again Fahad Fazil proves his versatility. Watching late actress Sukumari brought back memories of her in similar roles. Music by visually challenged composer Afzal Yusuf complements the film with his soothing melody. 
Without sermonizing, Crisp narration and dialogues that you can identify with, Jose without sermonizing on moral behavior, Jose brings you a family entertainer that is marked by crisp narration and good humour.
