Varshangalkku Shesham
(2024)

Worst film in Vineeth's filmography as a director!
The first half was filled with melodrama, cliche and cringe acting. Only saving grace was Dhyan to an extent.

The film starts to liven after the interval.

The standout performance is by Nivin Pauly and excellent acting by Basil Joseph and Neeraj Madhav in their cameo roles. Special mention to Aju as well.

Pranav is the weak link here. He has not acted badly, but his introduction song is so terrible that the negative aftereffects linger on.

The script is also weak. Murali himself handing over his tune to the Music director despite the MD's reservations and then going back to him after the song becomes a massive hit and we as an audience are supposed to stand by Murali and hate the MD. Illogical and cringe worthy script.

The only reason to watch this movie is for Nivin Pauly, else complete waste of time.

Awesome movie. Tarantinoesque Malayalam movie
I don't understand why there's so much hatred for this movie. It's just like what the director had said before the movie release.

It's just like a visual representation of reading an Amar Chitra Katha or a Panchatantra story.

The cinematography, direction, music and acting are all top notch.

Danish Sait's character is well written and acted. There are glimpses of a hyena, rattle snake and Batman's Joker.

That doesn't mean that the movie has flaws (as per my observation) which are below

1. Bgm at the fight sequence in the Portuguese/ Spanish segment where Chamathakan is shown with a funny bgm which felt out of place

2. The belly dance song felt out of place.

3. Overuse of slow motions.

Waiting for the second part, but since the movie was a financial failure, I doubt the makers will produce a 2nd part.

Good timepass movie
It's definitely not a bad movie and can be viewed more than once. Those who are expecting a dramatic story will be disappointed. The action scenes and acting (except by Mahima, who is pretty ordinary with same face expression most of the times) was very good, especially the lead actors. The villains attack on the family is very well directed. I thought the villain who injured the kid should have deserved more. Just few punches on his face didn't satisfy me as a viewer.

Definitely a good movie by the debut director. Hope his next movie will have little more depth in the story and not just action scenes.

Below Average
A very below average movie.

Giving 2 stars. One each for the good intention and for Indrans.

Even if we leave the illogical aspect of the court giving the responsibility to 3 young lawyers as cinematic liberty, the sheer amount of stupidity shown in the movie is laughable

The director tried to imbibe comedy and a laugh track. Both of them fall flat.

How they increase per day revenue to 90 crore is never explained. Just with a smiling staff will people come to travel in ksrtc? Very naive way of story telling. Gave an impression that they have not taken the audience's intellect into consideration. Don't know how this got such a high rating.

Watch only if you have nothing else to do for 2 hours. Else, avoid at all costs.

Excellent series! It's a must watch.
I am not sure why people are giving poor ratings to this excellent series. It gives an excellent representation of the age old issues facing in our country even today. I know few people will be unhappy with the fact shown in the series with the assumption that our country is doing very well in multiple sectors and we are doing great in multiple sectors. Which is definitely true, but we also need to acknowledge that caste and gender related issues are still very much prevalent in India even today.

The only negative I feel, is just like many have already mentioned here. The makers seems to show a bias towards one community. Most of the good policemen and people are from one community and all baddies are from the other community. There should be a more neutral way of representing.

Brilliant!
Absolute masterpiece from the team!

Excellent direction, script, cinematography, acting and music.

All the actors have done an excellent job. Acting from FaFa! Nothing more to say. He's the best actor in India at present. Top notch stuff!

Kaaval
(2021)

Movie directed by an immature director stuck in the 90s
The movie has very few positives 1. Suresh Gopi's screen presence and dialogue delivery

2. Bgm and music

3. The acting by the villain police officer and Ranji panicker.

Nothing else is good. It is so utterly predictable that you may fall asleep many times while watching the movie

Not recommended for a theatre watch.

One time watch
Starting with the good aspects Story concept : concept is new, 1st half was interesting Cinematography : was good on the eyes

Underwhelming aspects Acting : acting of the lead actors looked forced, child actor was also average. Comedy actor, his superior, etc. Acted very poorly Direction : few angles were good. But nothing outstanding BGM : felt it as loud sometimes and was interfering with the visuals

Bad aspects Pacing : a good 30-40 mins could have been cut which would have made the movie interesting. Some scenes could have been shortened or removed, e.g. When the lead actor reaches the swamp, they spend time looking into each other then to the surrounding and then the old police officer says, "this is the location". What's the point of the buildup?

Climax : felt like it was rushed and sudden. The build up to reach there looked amateurish CGI : unnecessary CGI, e.g. The starting scene, searching the pond. Gave a childish feeling.
