19 1 a

This movie is such a drag... Don't waste your time watching this , it has nothing that will hold your attention. I had to watch this at 2x speed,it was that slow.

Big fan of Vijay sethupathi movies in this movie the director didn't give him importance this movie had that potential only Nithya menen dominated but her dominance couldn't up to the mark.

Star cast wasted on a wannabe movie which goes nowhere and lacks substance. Mood, music and ambience works along with content and not independently. Govind's music deserves special mention as he tries to lift lackluster scenes.

19 1 a - Another Malayalam movie to end the Friday over an OTT . Rather VJS it was Nithya Menon who was present all over the movie . Well toned up physic gets back NM's look back to cute old times . She is definitely one beautiful heroines in recent days . VJS appears for a short time and we just have only Nithya Menon to be spoken about . The location and the weather during which the movie was shot was very interesting . A calm and pleasant village it was . Beyond this I really did not understand the message the director had tried to convey through this movie . The movie runs at a very slow pace with some repeated scenes and locations seeding more thoughts in our mind about where actually the story is leading to . Only to realise it ended pretty abruptly . Article 19(1)(a) is actually about freedom of speech and expression and I hereby express that this movie is not worth to be suggested for . Overall , "19 1 a" time to Stay Order (stay away) .

Ing Nithya Menen , Vijay Sethupathi in lead role. Also starring Indrajith Sukumaran, Indrans, Srikant Murali.

Written & directed by Indhu VS Streaming on Disney + Hot star from 29th July 2022

Good decision to release on streaming platform or else in box office it would be a biggest disaster.

The title of the movie represents to right to freedom of speech and expression & that's what the movie is all about but 1hr 47 min is pity too long as the story travels through extreme lagness.

The story begins with the life of Nithya Menen the central character who runs a Xerox shop for livelihood. One fine day a customer comes to her shop, hand over a note and promises that he will return to collect it but not. After few days, it came to know that the customer who came to her shop was shot murdered and its none other than a renowned writer "Gauri Shankar" played by Vijay Sethupathi.

Post this incident, how Nithya Menen, finds a way to publish the note which is in her hands which have a relevant social message forms the rest part of the story.

Although the movie throws light on the topic of freedom of expression, politics of colour, the politics of discrimination but the screenplay designed in such a way that it just test the patience of the audience as notion comes " 1 hr 47 min is too long ".

Vijay Sethupathi & Nithya Menen subtle performances. Something more expected from Vijay but that didn't spark well.

Indrajith Sukumaran presence was immaterial as the story shows the connection with Vijay sethupathi but was it that required, a question aroused to me.

Overall, a movie to watch making it pause multiple times.
