A Watchable flick

[ameerhassan-97423 · 7/10 · 8 February 2022]

Don't expect a fresh story/idea from lal jose then we can't enjoy the movie . Cinematography and songs were good. It made movie engaging and some comedies are really interesting. It's a cliched movie but it has its good moments too.

Climax is bit awkward Better when compared to other lal jose movies released recently.

A FAMILY MOVIE....

[ericsaju-12403 · 7/10 · 9 February 2022]

"Meow" as the name indicates soubin always afraid of cats because of an accident happened in his life.

It is a family movie which clearly tells impotance of every members in a family. The movie include comedy scenes, Emotional scenes etc. It also shows the helpfull mentality of old friends.. Overall watchable...

an amusing film

[ngandacinema · 8/10 · 26 August 2022]

Meow, meow, meow😺 This was an amusing film with good messages and as always, Soubin Shahir never disappoints!

DELICIOUS

-The editor must have had fun working on Meow. The sound effects and animation amplified the funny and relaxing aspects of the movie. The CGI cat was nicely done

-Soubin Shahir was captain of the ship: He guided the story well and welcomed us into his world. We saw his fears, strengths, weaknesses, struggles, insecurities, and desires

-The desert location was a good pick to center on Dasthaker's life without being too distracted by the Arabian setting

-The storytelling was really entertaining with MANY unique characters gently introduced without confusing us.

-Dasthaker's house was a great demonstration of harmony as it peacefully sheltered Muslims, a Hindu driver, and a Christian maid

-So what did the cat symbolize in Meow? In our humble opinion, it was a symbol of guidance and the presence of Dasthaker's wife

BLAND

-As much as we love Soubin Shahir, it was a little repetitive to see him in almost every scene.

Overall, the story seemed to be evolving very slowly.

Simple movie with Happy Ending

[santosh0535 · 7/10 · 22 February 2022]

Not much twists, no over expectation scenes.. the movie just goes and we should also go with the movie.. it is the story of Dasthu alone and his struggles to meet the ends for the family, others don't have much role.. it is such an emotional ride at the end.. music is the best part and Annapurna song takes you there.. also small message to anti-social elements to keep their business to themselves instead of rubbing on others..

Highly recommend movie

[anjuoetonline · 9/10 · 5 February 2022]

A must watch,feel good movie.. family based movie..just going through nice and heart touching moments of life...not a big story line but it's worth watching..

The script is all over the place!

[deepthipaul · 2/10 · 12 February 2022]

The story has neither a head nor a tail...hard to believe that no one in the team found this idea to be stupid during the making. And the ending is just so weird. The only thing about the movie I kind of liked was the music.

The 7+ rating is seriously a joke!!

Lal Jose needs to spend some time thinking and deliberating before churning out flop after flop!

Wonderful!

[uniquesri · 10/10 · 13 February 2022]

A beautiful movie. Individual faith and people who exploit in the garb of faith, both beautifully portrayed. Family, goodness of a person, strength of wife all beautifully portrayed in this movie. I wish there were more movies like this. Excellent work by the makers.

Terrible

[nirmalcherian · 1/10 · 8 February 2022]

Kept watching the movie till the climax thinking that something worthwhile will happen but it didn't. Poor acting, poor comedy and so boring. Pointless movie.

Nice entertainment

[tsapoorv · 9/10 · 27 February 2022]

The protagonist is struggling with raising three children in the UAE. Adding to the woe, his wife also left him for a small issue. He has panic attacks due to the stress also. How he manages all these are in the rest of the story. Some tolerance issues also beautifully interwoven into the story.

Don't trust the ratings

[joellal · 5/10 · 8 February 2022]

Cringe movie...Bad one from lal jose....the ratings doesn't do justice...Total waste of time...Bad performance from good actors... DISAPPOINTED is the word...

Good and Bad

[mathewkurien · 9/10 · 7 February 2022]

The script was really bad however this movie was saved by the cast, director and music. The end result is that it felt like a gooseberry - Hard to stomach but sweet afterwards. While watching it I felt it was bad. But after a few days you realise it was a pretty nice feel good movie. The script was horrendous and stretched out. It had no aim. However it was saved by the cinematography and direction that teleported us to this location and made us feel sympathy for Soubin's character. Mamata looked beautiful in this role. The child actors were also fantastic. As a situational feel good film it was wonderful. But as a story film it was unbearable. It's strange to say these things together. In the end after a few days I feel it was not bad afterall because that character and location was able to leave an impression on your life.

Utter waste

[leoselvarajgabrieltvm · 1/10 · 8 February 2022]

Haven't seen this much terrible movie recent times. Very much bored while watching. I don't know why Lal jose made this movie. This movie will surely degrade his achievements till now.

will leave you with a smile

[mohammedshamil-95717 · 10/10 · 6 February 2022]

Very good movie which did accomplished what it intended to convey. Worth watching and enjoying. Good acting, jokes and songs . Everyone will like it. Not just a one time watchable, it will be an evergreen movie and relevant at all times.

A very good sleeping pill 😴

[ahangaarivavachi · 1/10 · 6 February 2022]

Everything about this movie is bad except for a song and few frames. The comedies and emotional elements didn't really workout and felt like a poorly made tv serial. Predictable and cliche story. Poor performance from the lead actors and they had no chemistry at all. It's a good sleeping pill tho. By the way Kudos Mr Lal jose.. you made another flop.

Peace of mind

[shifatshifatkhan · 10/10 · 19 February 2022]

If anyone wants peace of mind, The name of this movie is"MEOW" Request to watch. As well as a movie like watching people from the full family together. Moreover, comedy, drama, honesty,kindly, Anger arrogance small naughtiness, family crisis.... I the great minds piece movie...

Cringe fest of the year award

[krishnaad · 1/10 · 15 February 2022]

Without leaving a doubt you could call this movie a CRINGE.

Kudos to Iqbal and Laljose in degrading the women to lower esteem by making them "a MACHINE delivering BABIES" and caging them inside the house after marriage just to look after the babies and house chores and thereby caring her husband till their last breath.

That's it.

I've never seen a movie this cringe recently.

Verdict: Save the time by doing something productive instead of wasting time.

Onetime watchable if you have time to spend

[ddreflects · 2/10 · 10 February 2022]

Typical Lal Jose movie without any logic of actual meow, soubin done behalf of dileep that's all. Only few actors that we knows. Harisree Yousuf done very well and different.

Avoidable movie

[manuk-jayadev · 1/10 · 20 February 2022]

Except few comedies and dialogues nothing else . Waste of time. Lal Jose lost interest or passion in movies it seems . He should take a break. Why they wasted some money in making it abroad . Don't know why they made such a movie.

Could have been a great movie if it had a coherent plot

[mehfoos · 4/10 · 13 February 2022]

The acting cinematography, characters and portrayal of life in UAE were all great. However, it felt like a loose connection of subplots alone (husband-wife quarrels, child-father bonding, religious orthodoxy, learning to live responsibly, exploitation of illegal migrants in gulf, siblings exploiting mahr, business-ethics and relationships, irrational fear due to trauma: of cats in this case, etc.) without a major plot to drive it all.

It may be fun to watch with kids, perhaps, but there's the lack of a strong plot makes it difficult to watch. So much lost potential!

A series of good scenes doesnt make a good movie

[ganesh-jayaraman · 5/10 · 16 March 2022]

Excellent start, excellent set of scenes, keeps us 'not-bored', but when I saw the ending, I was like - 1) is that all?

2) If this is what was intended then why to have unnecessary distractions like immigration issue, financial problems for the protagonist, his college reunion, health related panic attacks etc etc?

IMHO - the scenes were interesting, but as a movie, it is just average...

nothing much there

[deepudp · 4/10 · 16 April 2022]

No no.. not like this We expect a lot more from Lal jose-saubin-mamta combo.

We know their caliber.

Somehow, things didn't take off for them in this movie.

The story did have something, but the execution didn't pay off. Even the joke scenes seemed manufactured.

Below average movie

[amasiyishgaming · 3/10 · 17 February 2022]

Movie is overrated. It doesn't have a story and even though they're trying to make us laugh throughout the movie it only worked a few times. Mamtha's acting was also below average she usually does better overall it's a boring movie don't watch.

Dragging mysoginist movie

[pvsreelakshmypv · 5/10 · 10 March 2022]

Expected a better movie from Lal Jose. Characters didn't have depth including the hero. Songs were average. The women characters didn't have any role. Even the cat didn't have anything to do in the movie. Very insensitive to mental illness.
