CIA: Comrade in America

CIA is 2017s 3rd left branded malayalam film after oru mexican aparatha and sakhavu. But, it has nothing to do with communism or politics, its just another love story. Plus points of CIA are the first half which is very neat with all commercial elements blended well-humor, romance and action. Amal neerad's making is stylish as usual backed by renadive's dop and the locations were good. But the whole problem starts with the varanam aayiram meets maryan meets cast away second half where it becomes a survival thriller in which our hero is illegally crossing the Mexican border to reach America. Lack of tension element is clearly evident in this phase where instead of sitting at the edge of your seat one becomes restless in their seat waiting for it to end. Its so boring. And after hero reaches America, his purpose goes vain making us cheated. The love story also is not developed well. On the whole, CIA is another misfire from amal neerad.

Comrade in America is one of the most awaiting movie of the year.

Amal Neerad,The Man Who Give Audience a New Treat has Not Gonna Gail Here.

i Watch the film In First Day First Show.

Positive

*Great Direction *Great Cinematography *Nice Character Sketch(Especially Aji Mathew as Dulqar Salman) *Dulqar Does His Best *Supporting Cast Steal the First Half(Especially Saubin and Dileesh Pothen) *Mass Intro In Dulqar's Career *Unpredictable Twist

Negative

*Second Half is Very Lagging And Boring *Heroin's Acting is not Satisfied *Not Much Better Than Other Amal's Film

The movie was a good one. I felt it like two parallel world's joined together to convince the audience. The movie could be shot as two different films.

CIA- a travel for love and meaning of life U CAN WATCH UT FOR A EVENING SNACK TIME MOVIE..its best for it A must watch watch amal neerad film..there is not much of big story but the way the director had made us to feel in this movie makes us great.. Dont expect much in this movie..without expectation watch and get the most fun of it and sure i say climax gives us a worthy satisfaction.there goes the credit to director..and excellent screenplay and amazing DOP BY cameraman.gives us a pleasing throughout the entire movie.. Some drawbacks i feel was..if some story would have been that would been an excellent to dulquer as he can keep this in some good movies list yet its a good movie..it doesnt waste ur time..

CIA is the type of film that you could watch with tight mouth and could relish joy of the beautiful frames moving through the screen. The film explores many themes and fails to deliver it perfectly to the audience. It just switches from one another that you will be quenching the worth of your money till the end , where the film stops abruptly.

Dulquer's acting was great along with the secondary actors who shone brilliantly and their comic appearances burst the theatre into joy.The visuals along with the music was so good that the on screen cinematography and direction needed to cope up with them.

CIA has a shallow plot and a disastrous screenplay and we quite often forget why we are here - what's the film's message ?

I have never waited for a film due to a director and Amal Neerad had done his work quite well. Although we did not see the type of direction as seen in Iyobinte Pusthakam And a short film in 5 Sundarikal, Amal has done justice to his part and has left me happy enough. The film offers great themes for the audience to feast on. Communism , Romance , Don't expect much in life and many other themes frequently found in coming of age dramas and films that have released in many decades over the time.

In short, watch this film on your own risk as never go expecting a film that goes with you, but a film that you must go with. Breathe in the visuals my friend, for the cinematography is great.

My Rating - 7.8/10
