Kaaval

Nithin Renji Panicker has not moved an inch from his poor attempt with "KASABA". Dialogues are cliched, unimpactful. Worst part is there is a significant lag after the dialogues. Character says a dialogue, and wait for the camera to cut away. Its just all over the film. What could've been a proper action flick turns out to be a boring time waste. Cinematography is just okay. What could've been better was the editing and direction. Nithin should perhaps script just the story and let his father carry on with dialogues and direction.

One place he did succeed is with the emotional scenes.

Yet, a film that marks the return of Suresh Gopi was hugely disappointing. Suresh should collaborate with talented makers.

Extremely slow paced. The content is worth less than 1.5 hrs and the rest is all bloat. Most of the significant part of the plot happens in the final 45 mins and that too has critical plot holes. I'd recommend a skip for this movie or use the fwd button liberally if you feel intrigued enough to go through it.

When I watch movies I usually see how well made it is, how authentic it looks and this one has come close to reality and I would give it 6/10 except for some reactions by some actors in certain situations. The big plus point of this movie is shooting at some original natural surroundings especially the old house that is prominently shown here. All said and done, Malayalam movies has come of age and matured a lot. For a change Suresh Gopi got a chance to show his acting talent and he has delivered well here. (Reminded me of the chance meeting I had with him in a train from Ernakulam to Kanoor way back in Oct 2009. I wrote a blog about the 6 hrs we spend talking about each other's passion)

Kaaval its a comeback of suresh gopi a nice watchable movie of malayala cinemaYears after falling out with his friend and and friend family tragedy and its falling-out separates them form the plot of the movie Starring Suresh Gopi Renji Panicker a brillant casting and Directed by Nithin Renji Panicker Cinematography Nikhil S. Praveen My rating 5/10.

I really wish this movie to be good because of the return of Suresh Gopi to action genre, unfortunately, there is no way I can give pass mark for this. Kaaval is a very very outdated movie. The script is cliché, from beginning to the end. This may have been attractive in 1980-1990s, but not in 2021.
