Thottappan

This movie is absolutely a masterpiece of art in malayalam Industry just like Ee.Ma.yau, kumbalangi nights. I can't say this is just a Realistic movie.. the music,the bgm, and the visuals make this movie as a well cafted art. The plot is i think based on a malayalam novel that i read in my childhood.. the performance of those three people Vinayakan,Female actress and Roshan mathew is mind blowing. The starkids and some dumbs who came in this industry with luck like Priya warrier has to learn from these youngsters.

Thottappan (Godfather) is a brilliant Malayalam production with some fascinating photography, electric performances, chirpy background score (that uses country samples), and some tight editing making you gape in awe, all of which makes it a breathtaking experience even if the plot struggles with some pacing issues and unanswered questions. Shanavas Bavakutty has outsmarted himself after Kismath (2016) with the absolute finesse that he directs his actors with. The level of detailing in Vinayakan's gait as well as his mannerisms should be jointly attributed to him and Bavakutty. And to get the best out of both newcomers and proven actors like Roshan Matthew and Manoj K Jayan is a task no easy. Yet what will stay with you after you complete watching this thriller drama is the beautiful scenes of the Kerala backwaters that just seems to act as a favourite backdrop for Malayalam cinema lately. All I can say is that I approve. Thottappan is a very good experience that you need to encounter in the biggest screen and the loudest audio system. Plus one to Priyamvada Krishnan for a great debut performance. TN.

Watched this movie 2nd time. One of the finest movies in Malayalam industry.

Vinayakayan was undeniably the finest and the toughest actor as usual. He portrayed extraordinarily about his love for the family and Sara kochu.

Priyamvada, i am speechless about her debut. Brilliant performance.

Movie is a must watch for everyone and never ever miss it.

Fantastic performances by each and every actor in the movie. It's hard to believe that this is Priyamvada's debut movie. She's an actor to look out for. Interesting and engaging storyline with a healthy dose of all emotions. Never overly mushy. Never without logic. The movie shines bright in all departments. A must watch. I'm surprised it didn't bag many national awards.

The Kochi backwaters is where the story is centre with some beautiful melodious music that stays with you long after watching the film. The story, the actors, everything becomes irrelevant as the breathtaking camera takes over.
