Iratta

Thought.this would be something like 'Thadam'. But man, this is next level.

Even though the location and the plot is so simple, yet it is so captivating.

The simplicity is what worked for the film. Every little detail leading upto the incredible climax.

Joju Geroge is just fantastic. While some may say that the entirity of the film is slow-paced and average,I like it the best.

The backstory of the twins is so convincing. It contains the perfect amount of suspense, nothing overboard. Every characters have done justice to their roles.

It would not be a suprise if Bollywood come with a remake of this very soon.

A mystery thriller, as usual Joju George did one of his best performance.

An unique way of narration and somewhat unpredictable twist.

Saying about the twist, I didn't expect an end like this. A well deserving climax to a wonderfully shoot thriller movie.

For some audience the climax might feel like a disturbing one. But this kind of disturbing end is inevitable for a movie like this.

Mollywood film industry produced lots of double role characters in the history of Malayalam movies. No other double role characters which I saw before made any perfect sense comparing with 'Iratta'.

Perfectly delivered script with a proper ending !!!

'Iratta' proved again why Malayalam Cinema is the best right now. 'Iratta' means Twin, it's the story of 2 twin brothers and a murder mystery. The screenplay was non-linear and it was important to show it in this way as through this they've shown the past lives of the lead characters. While watching this you may predict certain things but then you'll be facing that big climax.

It'll be very hard to digest that climax as it's too much disturbing. By this the film also delivers some strong social messages. Joju George as both the twin brothers nailed it. He successfully made us feel for both the characters equally, screenplay and direction does the rest. Both the BGM and the songs were used in perfect scenario. 'Thaaraattayi' will haunt me whenever I'll listen to it. A MUST WATCH.

Available on Netflix.

It's been 2-3 days since I watched the movie but I still keep thinking about it, that's how powerful this movie, the climax is something that will haunt you for days. It's quite sad this movie wasn't that successful in theaters because it deserves a lot more attention. Director even though was new, you barely notice that in the direction. Screenplay was so well written. Joju was exceptional in both roles, he is currently 1 of the best in Malayalam cinema. Jithu ashref was outstanding in his small role, he will have his own spot in the industry soon. The 2 Miscast in the movie was srinda and Arya salim, both are really good actors but some reason, didn't blend well in these roles.

What is pain, there is a different version of pain in everyone I believe and the actor J is able to portray the pain in any character he assumes. Pain emotion, facial expressions, feelings in body language.

I couldn't stop being thrilled about the attention to detail and detailing the character throughout this movie.

The movie will not end for me, I waited till the end of the cast names to see if there was something after it.

I really feel the art of movies is in the power of pain the characters go through.

Right from the beginning till the last scene I didn't want the movie to get over, other than the minister and the police commissioner, who appeared too immature in their roles, everyone else was a treat to watch.

A definite recommend.

It will leave a tear in your eye, a beat in your heart and be a lesson for life. Beautiful movie.
