Virus

Virus is one of the best medical doc-fiction thriller I have watched in recent times.A complete blend of reality not letting it become documentary and fiction which keeps the audience on the edge of the seat.Cinematography by Rajeev Ravi is at another level.Every single actor has contributed equally to make the film a masterpiece.Ashiq Abu should be applauded for his courage to take risks and make out of the box movies.Every malayali will feel the pain and struggle people went at that outbreak of the unfortunate epidemic.Kudos to the change happening in malayalam cinema.

Brilliant acting , if you watch this in Querentine you can understand even better, If Kerala haven't controlled the virus it's might take unimaginable lives the way they acted in movie you think it's happening in real life , there are no songs or useless things shown in the movie like typical Indian movies does.

Virus is not just one of the best movies of the year, it is one of the best movies ever made in Mollywood history. It is so well crafted doc-fiction. Aashiq Abu delivers the best movie of his career and is simply one of the best directors in India. The movie keeps us thrilled and always triggers suspense and goosebumps. There is no single standout performance as every single actor in this movie was perfect. Kudos to Rajeev Ravi. His cinematography was another level. Sushin Shyam's music was one of the backbones of the movie and he can be Malayalam's Hans Zimmer. Overall, Virus is a perfect movie that everyone should warch in theatres. Mollywood will be proud of Virus. P. S. Audiences may feel a bit lost in the time realtions during the movie but the climax makes all that connections.

Brilliant movie! Hats of to the director Aashiq Abu in keeping it raw and real. This movie brings together a host of well-known Malayalam actors from the current generation angry young man Tovino as the DC to Indrans as the #1 Nipah victim's father and each one of them I believe brought in one of their greatest performances even with short screen times. It truly brings into perspective what doctors and health workers go through on a daily basis and Ashiq Abu and team does justice in bringing this to the fore. The screenplay has brought out the Nipah incident in an eerily beautiful way and the humans emotions have been captured intensely even though it may not invest you deeply into the characters due to short screens times. The bgm was on spot and Sushin Shyam does a great job in bringing out the grim and tense atmosphere, a class effort from him as always. All in all a laudable effort and a must watch movie at the top of an already crowded list of top Malayalam movies this year.

VIRUS is an engaging experience, with its non-linear story telling, energetic sound tracks, vivid visuals and most importantly, a golden bunch of cast has made it a great account of the incident that invoked fear in Malabar.

The film throws light at each and every individuals who has played a part in controlling Nipah Virus transmission, and how we were able to survive by working together.

Great Achievement.

Thanks to Aashiq Abu and Team.
