2018

Today, when cinema is being used to promote hate and divisiveness, this movie comes as a breath of fresh air. This is the Real Kerala Story where Everyone is a Winner.

Not enough praise can be showered on this wonderful piece of cinema.

Based on the real life devastating floods in Kerala, the movie takes the viewer on a journey through the tough times faced and bravery of those who rose to the occassion to help their fellow beings. There's nothing preachy in the film. Everything is subtle.

The performers seem real and relatable. There are no 6-pack ab heroes. No running around trees. Every character has a role to play and they all come together in a production of cinematic brilliance.

The screenplay is very well crafted. Creating a multi-dimensional story that has complex characters, along with engaging dialogue that involves the viewer right from the beginning.

The cinematography is breath-taking, the production design and art direction create an authentic world. The editing maintains the pace of the movie and the background music is top-notch. Should be among director Jude Anthony Joseph's finest work.

It's available in a few languages on SONY PIX. But my preference was watching it with Malayalam audio and English subtitles.

'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!

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.

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.

Watched malayalam movie 2018 It's a movie based on the floods that happened in kerala in 2018.

Fantastic movie especially the making is too good. VFX, editing and direction was brilliant.

Breathtaking shots Jude Anthony the director take a bow this will be one of your career best creation..simply mind blowing.

The movie shows how a romantized rain can destroy life's. The makers successfully created the flood and it was neatly crafted.

No lags in the story and will keep you on toes throughout.

Tovino Thomas plays character (Anoop) and it will be there in the viewers heart for long. Brilliant and realistic acting by him.

Once again he shines as a romantic hero. (I am sure he will grab awards for this)

The film does an excellent job of capturing the emotional journey of the characters and the resilience of the people affected by the disaster through its realistic and sensitive depiction of the flood's aftermath. Notable performances by actors like , Lal, Kunjacko Boban, Asif Ali, Narein, and others make the film all the more compelling. Big shout out for actor sudheesh superb acting by him.

Huge star cast movie but importance was given to everyone and they all did a brilliant job in fulfilling it.

You need to experience this in theatres .hollywood style movie making and has surely raised the bar of mollywood movies.

A must watch movie not to be missed . Surely give you goosebumps and will make you cry at the end..

Well this is a Real Kerala story that everyone needs to watch.
