Jishnu Rajendran

The movie simply gives an idea about the range of protagonist, the power he upholds, the past which made him and the present hurdles he faces. Traditionally in Mollywood, cinema dwells around a certain result in the end however this movie ends with an uncertainty. It questions the audience to think further and re-watch the concepts again to understand the depth in storyline. The multilingual conversations of the characters add values to the movie to a wider audience. The cinematography is truly international and in certain portions it conjured “The Expendables” and “ A- Team”. The directorial vision in developing a future masterpiece is evident throughout the film. The confidence of the director even in interviews highlights the endgame which is ‘cooking’ The splendid mixture of frames with music added extra tension and suspense. There were so many international quality throughout the film however it never lost it’s Kerala values. The concept of secularism and political agendas in the reel world may become a debate in real life. The movie will be criticised by Laymen may be due to lack of exposure to narrative styles .The only question that remains is who is the real hero in L2 ?

The movie is a prime example of why malayalam film industry thinks out of the box. It has a very simple story which is looked upon by the point of view of two main characters. Their struggles and finding justice for each other serves the purpose of the movie. The coherence in narration is evident in each frame making the movie thrilling till the end. The quest of finding ‘who’ grabs the attention of audience and I strongly believe the movie will be an example of a new genre of crime thriller in mollywood. Overall, brilliant casting, great making and strong portrayal of a subtle story. Jofin T Chacko, the director and the graphics department really did an outstanding job in giving life to the story. Anaswara Rajan again proved her space in the industry as a bankable actor. The growth of Asif Ali as an actor should be studied, his trademark reflection of emotions in his eyes reminded of Mohanlal school of acting. Truly a good movie to watch.
