CIA: Comrade in America

Alright, first thing first, the Intro Music of DQ(Kerala Manninayi) made me to checkout Comrade In America and this movie is definitely not about communism or about the communist leaders. It is about the struggle, the hero goes through to reach his lover who is in America without visa and the life lessons that he learns through his arduous journey.

DQ's presence and acting is the only saving grace of the movie. As an audience you neither feel connected nor empathise with any of the characters.

The surprising part of the movie is the casting of Stalin, Karl Marx, Lenin and Che, which was remarkable and they looked so real and believable. Apart from that there is nothing enjoyable about the movie.

CIA is 2017s 3rd left branded malayalam film after oru mexican aparatha and sakhavu. But, it has nothing to do with communism or politics, its just another love story. Plus points of CIA are the first half which is very neat with all commercial elements blended well-humor, romance and action. Amal neerad's making is stylish as usual backed by renadive's dop and the locations were good. But the whole problem starts with the varanam aayiram meets maryan meets cast away second half where it becomes a survival thriller in which our hero is illegally crossing the Mexican border to reach America. Lack of tension element is clearly evident in this phase where instead of sitting at the edge of your seat one becomes restless in their seat waiting for it to end. Its so boring. And after hero reaches America, his purpose goes vain making us cheated. The love story also is not developed well. On the whole, CIA is another misfire from amal neerad.

FILM LACKS A GOOD SCREENPLAY. THE PROTAGONIST PLAYED BY DULQUER SALMAN IS A COMRADE WHO IS FALL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL. BUT SHE LEFT AJI MATHEW ( DULQUER ) BECAUSE HE DID NOT LIKE TO LIVE IN USA WITH HER. SARAH ( THE GIRLFRIEND ) IS AN USA NATIVE WHICH PLAYED BY KARTHIKA MURALIDHARAN.

IT IS JUST AMAZED THAT THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY THE AMAL NEERAD WHO DELIVERED THE POWERFUL MOVIE LIKE IYYOBINTE PUSTHAKAM .THIS FILM COMPLETELY HIGHLIGHTING ONLY THE STAR VALUE AND STYLISH APPEARANCES OF YOUNG SUPERSTAR DULQUER.

FILM DID NOT CONVEY A GREAT STORY LINE RATHER IT PRODUCED THE SITUATIONS OF ILLEGAL EMIRATES IN USA. AFTER FINISH WATCHING THIS MOVIE ESPECIALLY THE CLIMAX AS A VIEWER IT DISAPPOINTED EVERY REGARD.

Comrade in America is one of the most awaiting movie of the year.

Amal Neerad,The Man Who Give Audience a New Treat has Not Gonna Gail Here.

i Watch the film In First Day First Show.

Summary (no spoilers)

This movie is about Aji Mathew who is an adorable, fearless and humble youngster, who lives in a place in Kerala called Pala. He meets an NRI girl Sara in collage; they fall in love despite of their background. Their moments of love did not last long so do his happiness.

My Review (no spoilers)

This movie has a really good and unique plot I have not seen this concept in any other movie. It was filled with a somewhat action, a little adventure but not much thriller. Dulquer did his part well he can't be blamed for the way this movie was directed. Karthika has a lot to do to improve her acting skills, Chandini on the other hand got very less time span in this movie but her acting was noticed among the others. The other notable acting would be Siddique, Dileesh, Soubin and Maniyanpilla Raju. This movie had some really good standout songs. Amal Neerad as a director could have done a better job. The ending of this movie was unpredictable and good.

No I would not recommend people to watch this movie.

My Rating 6/10
