chirakodinja Kinavukal ( Eng: Dreams with Broken Wings) is a Malayalam Spoof-comedy film directed by Santhosh Viswanath. This is Viswanath’s debutant attempt. Listin Stephen, under the banner of Magic Films produced it. The film features Sreenivasan, kunchako Boban and Rima kallungal in lead roles with Joy Mathew and Srinda Ashab in supporting roles. The close relation of these film with the story Azhakiya Ravanan make it a spin off relation with that film.
This film dealt with the story of a tailor who tries passionately to get over the love of his girlfriend by any means and the setbacks faces thereafter. ‘Azhakiya Ravanan’ a film by Mammootty was a super hit and it adopted the same theory with a slight difference.

But the heartbroken tailor tried to commit suicide. Can he stop the marriage by his futile attempt of suicide? Will Sumitha understand his real love and cameabck? Some unexpected happenings are waiting for you with a romantic touch.
Though the film received many positive reviews they couldn’t be enough to make it a success. The film does have an interesting plot, but the film crew with weakly sketched characters failed to make any impact on the viewers. There are quite many moments in this film which questions our sensibility and It treats audience as dumb people who seem to be in need for superlative stimulants always. But the audience now a days are more prudent than before and they are able to introgate things in a better way than before. They may not receive any rubbish things and for thar the directors should be aware of. Some artificial dialoguges with no relation with the plot make it monotonous. If we look at the film on performance wise except Rima kallungal none could rise with the occasion and show a superfluous concert. But critics could see some positive elements and appreciated the style of the film which portrayed the pre-existed and existing clinches in contemporary Malayalam Cinema with out lampoon any superstars or directors.
