Wolf

Wolf was yet another unheralded film from Zee5's recent set of Direct-to-digital Malayalam releases, the earlier ones being the moderately enjoyable Innu Mudhal and the passable thriller Krishnankutty Pani Thudangi.

It is intended as a thriller set in the time of Corona and features earnest performances from the leads-Arjun Asokan and Samyuktha Menon and a third actor who I will not name to preserve the movie's suspense.

Despite the right elements in the setup and the confrontation, the script crumbles in the third act, where the intended resolution to the key challenges in the plot comes off as too simplistic and weak.

Malayalam has delivered stellar work like Joji and C U Soon despite being constrained by single location corona-time shoots, so cannot give this effort a pass.

Not recommended. A so-called thriller that had no requisite thrills.

The movie lacks content, it stretches a simple story line to a full movie. At least half of it could be edited and the movie would still be telling same story.

Samyunkta is better compared to other 2 lead casts performance. Irshad gets a big role for first time , but fails to impress other than the new look. Arjun Ashok is ok that's all.

Indugopan's script is plain and dialogs are mostly basic and other times artificial. Nothing impressive about direction either.

Who the heck comes up with such bs ? No story, no message, no meaning. This has to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. Acting is OKish.

Such a waste of time. There is nothing that keeps you awake in the movie.

What's the point of this movie ?

Thriller ? - No, there's nothing to be thrilled about here.

Empowering women ? - absolutely no. Maybe the director went for that. But it never conveyed that message.

Drama ? - Overacting and absolutely poor scripting and dialogues.

I couldn't even finish the movie on normal speed. So I fast forwarded it.

Why would anyone recommend this movie ? - I wouldn't even do that to my worst enemy.

Please don't waste your valuable time watching this.

Did not get the point of this movie. Is it a message against elopement or does it want men to be more calmer towards women? Solid performances by the cast. Overall, watch it for some relationship advice. That's all really..
