Wonderful film. A film that every internet user must watch… be it be the user of social media, shopping sites, food delivery apps, UPI payments and even simple search engines. A few don’t like the ending. But the ending is very realistic.

Well made. I prefer this over the US The Office, but not before the UK and Australia The Office. They’ve made it to suit the Indian audience. Also, they’ve shown some issues of today’s India in a very subtle way. As each one’s sense of humour is different, some find the US one the best. And this the worst of all.

Want to watch any recent si-fi film? This is it. Wonderfully made. There are two unnecessary songs. I always find songs unnecessary in films which want the audiences’ complete attention.

It’s very rare that I watch horror films. Because most horror films put me to sleep. I just thought of watching the film and finished watching it just now. And I loved it. To people giving one star saying that the characters are irritating; their characters are meant to be irritating. Five Gen Z spoilt brats, who never listen to anybody but themselves. That’s the kind of character that they were supposed to play. That’s why Maari says that he none of the tourists behaved like them. The only part I didn’t like was Maari dying. But that’s how the story was meant to be. I hated Meena more than any other character. But later when they showed the backstory, I realised the reason why she was behaving more spoilt than the rest of them. Glad that there were no unnecessary jump scares. I liked the bgm too.

An emotional rollercoaster. I’ve wept buckets whilst watching this film. I’ve watched several films of Soubin. But this proved to me that he an extraordinary actor. Even the tiniest expressions has been beautifully enacted by him. Thanks to the director of the film for bringing out such brilliant performances.

Just 10 minutes 10 seconds in and I’m already bored. Such bad acting! It’s sounds more like reading lines from a textbook in English class. Even the people who are fresh out of acting school act way better than this. What was the director thinking?

Vijay Sethupathi and Anurag Kashyap are a deadly combination. Two great directors and actors coming together for a movie ought to make any film great in terms of acting! The story is amazing too. Loved the last part where the daughter says to Anurag Kashyap that he didn’t show mercy on her. But she is showing mercy on him. Gone are the days where films showed victim blaming. Glad that films of these days are coming up with topics where the victim stays strong and fights against such things. Way to go South Indian Film Industry!!! ❤️

A well executed film with equally great acting. This film reminded me of Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The plot is very different. But both films show as to the extent to which humans can go to satisfy their ego. I have acted in plays and have certificate in acting. With that experience, I can tell that the most difficult role to perform is the negative role. One can easily pull a positive or a comic character. I usually appreciate the acting prowess of an actor/actress if they can make me hate the negative character and a give a weird sense of uneasy feeling. A good actor/actress is the one who can make us hate the negative character to the core. The two leads of this film have done it beautifully. This film shows the reality. I see this (not to this extreme) in our apartment. People who have not purchased parking spaces act so entitled that they park in somebody else’s parking space and then fights erupt. For instance, some people park in my parking space without my permission just because there’s enough space because I have a two wheeler. So, something like this is something we see in our daily lives. Overall a very good film to watch if you are into method acting and reality based films. 😊

I have always loved Malayalam films. So, I might be biased whilst writing this review. Only Malayalam film industry can make such a beautiful film. (I am telling this as somebody from Karnataka.) No drama or no unnecessary loud music. If any other film industry had tried making such a film, they would have surely included at least one intimate scene. Not that I am against intimate scenes. But in an age where intimate scenes are unnecessarily included in films (mainly in other film industries), this film succeeded in showcasing the real theme without even including such scenes. This is not a fast paced film. But this film shows the pain each one goes through. So, if one is looking for some kind action, screams, fights, dramatic moments, this film is surely not for them. A superstar choosing such a role is commendable. I am sure that, none of the superstars will be ready to take on such a role. Hats off to Mammooty! Jyotika shows the pain that one goes through in an unhappy marriage. And Sudhi shows the emotions that one goes through when there’s nobody to support him. And the person who played Mammooty’s father’s role shows the guilt. The acting of all the characters is spotless. People who are commenting saying that, this film gives a wrong message to the society need to be educated. Homosexuality isn’t a decease or something that one decides to be. It is something natural. Same applies to bisexuality and asexuality. The acting is amazing. As always, Malayalam film industry gives importance to acting and story and not looks. Perhaps, that’s why none of the Indian film industries can beat Malayalam films.
