Journey of Love 18+

18 plus: directed by Arun Jose. Lemme say Mathew Thomas stole the show. In Acting. In dance. Naslen actually took a backseat this time though the movie is centered around him. And this is a first, not something I've felt in the prior movies they were together. Story is a simple love story with elopement. The message at the end of higher and lower caste is good. Most higher caste people do preach and not practice, when it comes to their own family. Loved the friendship sacrifice moment of Mathew Thomas, and the intensity in his face as a party worker. Overall I would say one time watch, boring mostly except for some moments of good acting by Mathew..

I laughed a lot after a long time. It was a fun-filled ride with lots of comedies. Happy to see Naslen getting some cracking roles. The supporting actors were also very good.

The movie is set in a different timeline, not in the present day, and the production design was a bit artificial. I also didn't expect a message in the climax and that was a surprise (well, we are used to movies like "Madhura Manohara Moham"). Like everyone else, I thought the director would take a straightforward approach, but there comes the message.

This film is sure to appeal to a younger audience, with its humour primarily targeting them rather than a broader family demographic.

18+ surprised me with its humour, plot, and overall treatment. There is never a dull moment here which narrates the story of an elopement attempt by a college dropout and his college girlfriend, both with a class difference. The social milieu it is set in adds to the fun, also thanks to the relatable characters who never feel like a sore thumb. One has to realise that making comedy and enacting it are tough jobs, yet 18+ pulls them off seamlessly, never tiring its audience. And the final 30 minutes are just cherry on the top without ever taking the cringe mode. I enjoyed watching this wholeheartedly and I will watch out for whatever Arun Jose does next.
