2018

Based on the 2018 Kerala floods, the film narrates an incredible story involving rescue of the civilians who were unaware of the severity of the situation rendering even the government helpless. The timely intervention from the local fishermen help the incredible rescue mission. 2018 - Everyone is a hero and that is what the film succeeds in portraying.

The film is entirely driven through human emotions and for a disaster survival film, it has quite a generic screenplay with noticeable foreshadowing throughout the first half. What works is how honest the characters are and how real the terrible scenario is. With too many characters, couple of them and their sub plots take a hit, making one wonder they could've been dealt better.

Since the focus of the second half is entirely on the floods and the rescue mission, the director succeeds in elevating the second half perfectly while the bunch of good actors ranging from Tovino Thomas to Indrans deliver superbly. The effective 2nd half is what makes this movie a must watch. I was not too impressed by the visuals in the trailer but the final outcome is chilling enough.

I saw this few days back. To be honest I wasn't even aware that such a movie existed. It was only when this was sent as an official entry from India n it was all ov the news, that I came to kno of its existence. Maybe the movie wasn't advertised or marketed well.

It is such an awesome movie that I find it a crime that this movie wasn't known to me.

The movie is about the 2018 Kerala floods n how people helped total strangers, showcasing that humanity exist specially in the southern states of India otherwise the cow belt n other regions in India are notorious for Christians, Muslims n Dalits persecutions.

The background song is very touching n the background music is mesmerizing.

The character Anoop will stay with u for a long time. So will the fisherman family n Nixon.

In this age of hatred, even people in the film industry are succumbing to political inclinations and producing movies that favor certain political parties while tarnishing the reputation of the entire state of Kerala. However even in this landscape, there are also cinematic gems emerging that shed light on the indomitable spirit and heroic deeds of Keralites during the catastrophic floods of 2018.

This movie provides a profound and heartfelt "proud to be a Malayalee" moment. Every member of the cast impeccably portrayed their respective roles, delivering stellar performances that resonated with authenticity and emotional depth. From the lead actors to the supporting cast, each individual skillfully brought their characters to life, captivating the audience with their nuanced portrayals and virtuous delivery. Their collective commitment and dedication to their roles resulted in a truly memorable cinematic experience that will undoubtedly leave audiences feeling a deep sense of pride for being part of the vibrant Malayalee community.

Relatable movie at the core. Good story telling and the way screenplay was moving around indeed commendable. Every other actor did their job extremely well. Several moment were heart touch and emotionally draining.

Unlike similarly released calamity bound movies this movie goes through a story and eventually showing the issue in a simple yet the intense way.

There was no expectations from Jude since his last movie Om Shanti oshana was not upto the mark some sort of cliche third rate so called romantic movie but 2018 is totally different and huge accolades for such a fantastic creation. Appreciate the efforts made and indeed this will be historical movie.

'Every calamity is news until it hits us'. This movie is about the 2018 flood and based on true incidents. Amazing performance by Tovino Thomas and rest of the stellar cast. Malayalam movies surprise me every time with something new. This movie would seamlessly take you inside it and make you experience the flood. Thanks to the team for making this as a movie. It left me in tears at the end because it hits differently! My heart goes out to everyone who died in the flood and to everyone who survived it. This film is of international standards and reminds me of 2012! This team made the impossible happen. Don't miss this experience! It's not an yet another movie but a epic one!
