Fahad, and Sai Pallavi are the only 2 who have contributed to the success of this film. The story is completely messy with several flaws and it's displayed in a very confusing and unstructured manner. The villainous doctor is over dramatic and acts like he's in some circus show. He is also very dumb for a psychiatrist. I was doubting why Fahad would pick such a film. Maybe he was just flexing his acting skills which were as usual amazing.

People who have watched the film Shutter Island, can immediately see similar patterns in the initial parts of the movie thus giving away a huge amount of suspense. It's basically a poor copy of Shutter Island but with a little twist.

nishasuperboy28 April 2019I won't suggest this movie to all those who have seen "9" and "Shutter Island" , they might feel this movie a bit cliche because the film follows a similar pattern . Apart from that it's all good , especially the sound it has to be experienced in cinema and it's stunning visuals .

akhilnellikunnel13 April 2019I would say that it may be an exact copy of movie named 'Stoneheartst Asylum'.But the making and cinematography was perfect.Sai Palavi done her character as it max...There is still lacking something in this film may be the characters rather than fahad and sai palavi were flawless...Anyway a good experimental movie in malayalam in recent time..one time watchable.....

surya79276229 May 2021All the hype and expectations are in the starting and ending of the movie in the middle slow pace of narration and Loud BGM Fahadh always steals the show sai pallavi managed in a way and kulakarni again done his part great all okay but some questions are unanswered? Worth watch.

dmaster-4016716 July 2019Hollywood movie shutter Island in Mallu version with Different and expected climax. But it is a good entertainment movie, not get enough thrilled while watching this movie because we can expect who is who.!!!!
All stars are well acted their roll, especially Prakash Raj, Athul Kulkarni & Fahad too...not much excited with Fahad's acting compare with "Kumbalangi night's Psycho Shummy" ( It was absolutely brilliant ).
But something is missing in this movie.....
I think Director is plan to make ATHIRAN 2...!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
sathyaaero22 June 2020I got a very thrilled experience when seeing this Film especially when Fahad roams into the Hospital and when dog chases him. I can't believe that this was an debutant Director Film. Sai Pallavi acting was extraordinary and Fahad thrills with his eyes. Songs were very good especially that melody was amazing. Bgm scores makes us thrilling and engaging us till the final scene. Apart from all these cinematography was excellent and stunning, Scene by scene extraordinary cinematography. Finally this movie was very good and that twist was really good and interesting.

Let's just say it could have been a little less dramatic. Atul Kulkarni, usually intense was more like an over actor. Probably the director could have controlled this. Fahadh also was a bit over the top, but only occasionally. Sai Pallavi, I thought, did her part very well. Acting quality was overall on the average.
The story is GOOD, but skirting the average. Please view it from a 'dark movie', angle so expectations of a feel good factor are futile and unfair. Over usage of unnecessary screams and loud bangs is a big big turn off. They could also have done away with scenes which look copied. The jailed woman idea are a straight lift from SI. The director surely seems to have been an SI fan as the asylum's theme and locations are very similar looking minus the sea.
Overall its a decent one time watch with a racy and thrilling end which unfolds with Prakash Raj's late entry and a very short cameo. -
sarathimozli13 April 2019Different concept..good.. All credits are goes to saipallavi and Fahad and Vivek team.. Feeling happy...

mohankrishnan9927 August 2019Did not like the film, I thought direction by Vivek was poor. I had seen 'Shutter Island' long time ago, the basic plot is same, but the films are not even comparable.

danieljames-dj27 March 2021The movie was interesting, Sai Pallavi's role was simply amazing. Overall worth watching.

alansenmon11 January 2020I think the director had cut out from s.i but good

eaglextreme201215 July 2019This is an inferior haphazard copy of english film "Stonehearst Asylum" starring Kate Beckinsale & Jim Sturgess. I highly recommend any movie lover to watch the english version rather than this boring trash.

Azanspy19 April 2019Athiran is the newest addition to thrillers list in Mollywood. Athiran keeps us engaged most of the parts. The making of the movie is good but not excellent and not as good as other recent Mollywood thriller 9 (Nine). Fahadh Faasil is good and will not offer a better performance than his recent outings. It is Sai Pallavi who impresses and eve though it is her difficult role yet, she pulls off it fine. The main problems of Athiran is its predictability. The narration makes us clear that the protagonist is something more than what he appears. The songs and background music were good but one romantic song in second half was unwanted and spoils the thrilling mood. Overall, Athiran is a very good attempt by debutant Vivek and is a one time watchable thriller.

Artha12530 May 2021Fahad and sai Pallavi's acting is very very natural But plot is inspired or copied from many iota of stories like shutter Island,12 monkeys and one fellow flew from cuckoo's nest like movies.

vjnambu17 November 2019Athiran's biggest drawback is its predictability of the plot twists. Fahad and sai pallavi don't have any chemistry whether it's romantically or as a doctor-patient. There is no character development or focus on the 5 patients. Acting was not upto the mark. Fahad was not at his best, atul kulkarni and prakash raj were wasted. Their dubbing was also poor. Sai pallavi has nothing to perform and very less to emote. But her flexibility in kalari was good. And why this film was set in 60-70 is I can't understand. There wouldn't be any change in story if it was set in present time. On the whole, athiran is like a book whose cover looks good but has many holes in the pages.

prithvi727228 May 2021Lovely BGM, visual and engaging gripping thriller story.
Sai pallavi and faasil killed the acting woah. This guy is ruling the film industry with him film selections and acting. The climax is a ultimate punch and hype.
Over all loved it it's a decent movie. -
Worth watching. First half boring second half worth watching climax awesome must watch movie climax unexpected.

nikhilforever14 July 2019If you ask me who was the standout actor in this film, i will say its Ranji Panicker. Yet again Fahads entry as a person who is mentally ill, just after Kumbalangi Nights wasn't expected. A lot of unwanted characters, really without any twist was the same in almost all Malayalam movies. The plot wasnt the best, like 'anybody could come and do whatever he needs', threatening an unwanted guest which was expected from the beginning.
Could have crafted those sequences better, way way better and yes this is my opinion. Im disappointed. -
agopikanair27 April 2019The actors especially Sai Pallavi showed great spirit. The movie plot was good yet predictable . It is a fabulous movie to watch .

alanmuttamthottile14 April 2019The movie has many good spots the diriction is absolutley super and acting fahad and sai were massive and the suspence is preditable but not much good thriller the climax was the father of varathan on the basis of the flow of the movie this is a horror feel phycoligical thriller ..
