Much of the success stories from Lal Jose came from plots that revolved around picturesque, silent villages. In an attempt to add to this list is his new flick titled ‘Elsamma Enna Aankutty’.
The movie with a curious title features an impressive story by Sindhuraj, and also presents a new face in the title role.
The film is about a beautiful young girl who is forced to act like a boy to take care of her mother and three younger sisters. Elsamma is a cute girl, who works from day to night. Apart from her routine jobs, she also distributes newspapers early in the morning and also works as the local reporter of a daily. The essential day breaker of their high range village junction named ‘Balan Pillai City’, she has a company in Palunni, the local milkman. These two are considered to kick off every day of the residents in Balan Pillai city. Basically a fun film, the movie also has got it’s lengthy list of caricaturish characters ala Lal Jose’s other films.
Debutante Anne Augustine, the daughter of veteran actor August plays the title role of Elsamma. Like his previous introductions like Kavya Madhavan, Jyothirmayi, Samvrutha Sunil, Muktha, Meeranandhan and Archanakavi, Anne is also expected to become a frontline heroine in Mollywood.
Kunchacko Boban who is fresh from his latest two hits is also experimenting on his looks, playing Palunni. Indrajith, the lucky mascot of Lal Jose films plays the other male lead of the movie. The cast of ‘Elsamma Enna Aan Kutty’ also includes Janardhanan, Vijayaraghavan, Jagathy Sreekumar, KPAC Lalitha, Maniyanpillai Raju, Suraj Venjarammoodu, Manikandan and Manikkuttan.
While Vijay Ulaganath is in charge of the camera, Renjan Abraham does the editing. Rajamani for the first time scores the music for a Laljose film.

Vijay Yesudas, Swetha, Devanand, Achu Rajamani, Rimi Tomy, Sithara Balakrishnan and Reshmi lend their voices to the beautiful songs of the movie.
