CIA: Comrade in America

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

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.

FILM LACKS A GOOD SCREENPLAY. THE PROTAGONIST PLAYED BY DULQUER SALMAN IS A COMRADE WHO IS FALL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL. BUT SHE LEFT AJI MATHEW ( DULQUER ) BECAUSE HE DID NOT LIKE TO LIVE IN USA WITH HER. SARAH ( THE GIRLFRIEND ) IS AN USA NATIVE WHICH PLAYED BY KARTHIKA MURALIDHARAN.

IT IS JUST AMAZED THAT THE FILM IS DIRECTED BY THE AMAL NEERAD WHO DELIVERED THE POWERFUL MOVIE LIKE IYYOBINTE PUSTHAKAM .THIS FILM COMPLETELY HIGHLIGHTING ONLY THE STAR VALUE AND STYLISH APPEARANCES OF YOUNG SUPERSTAR DULQUER.

FILM DID NOT CONVEY A GREAT STORY LINE RATHER IT PRODUCED THE SITUATIONS OF ILLEGAL EMIRATES IN USA. AFTER FINISH WATCHING THIS MOVIE ESPECIALLY THE CLIMAX AS A VIEWER IT DISAPPOINTED EVERY REGARD.

Alright, first thing first, the Intro Music of DQ(Kerala Manninayi) made me to checkout Comrade In America and this movie is definitely not about communism or about the communist leaders. It is about the struggle, the hero goes through to reach his lover who is in America without visa and the life lessons that he learns through his arduous journey.

DQ's presence and acting is the only saving grace of the movie. As an audience you neither feel connected nor empathise with any of the characters.

The surprising part of the movie is the casting of Stalin, Karl Marx, Lenin and Che, which was remarkable and they looked so real and believable. Apart from that there is nothing enjoyable about the movie.

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.
