This movie is based on real events that happened in my state. But as a movie, it fails to entertain me as the level expected. First 20 minutes of the movie is a masterwork. But then after the shocking start, it relies on expositions and uninteresting plot. Seriously, the plot of the movie is showing
how a disease spreads. We already know this. After a few minutes of expositions and character introductions, we will understand that there is no protagonist in this story. Cant empathize with anyone. Not feeling the devastating nature of the situation. Production quality is just above average. A lot of characters are dying, but I don't care about them because characters come off as strangers and no character arc is designed. Uninteresting
detective work comes as an awful drama which doesn't pay off that much at last. To improve, the Director could have had used more of Soubin's performance. And if it had a symbolic antagonist like ignorance of people or political corruption, it would have been a better film. I am giving 7.4/10 for this Movie.
But truth to be told at least I could finish watching Malayalam movies now. It has improved a lot. Malayalam movie industry is in the transition period that had happened in the '70s in Hollywood. I am expecting a Godfather or Cuckoo's nest level of the movie in Malayalam sooner. Thank You cinephiles to make a movie like this.
