Thankam

The first half of the film was highly involving and the making deserves an huge appreciation. The wonderful job on the Music by Bijipal helped as well.

I found the second half to be predictable and the story telling lost its pace which it gathered in the first half. Few shorts could have been avoided or bettered.

All the casting were perfect. The character done by Biju Menon, Muth was my personal favourite. But at the end of the day you will be thinking about Vineeth's character, Kannan. Thanks to Girish Kulkarni in trusting Working Class Heros, done amazingly well in the role of police officer. Vineeth Thattil's character was the joker in the pack, helped in the narration of the story, had also done an excellent job.

Highly recommended to watch in theatres!

I enjoyed every second of this movie and loved the screenplay. The highlight of the movie is its climax and people are criticizing it because they never expected that. That's a classy story and screenplay for you, I would say.

It would have been great if the director gave some time to explain a few concepts regarding the occupation the main characters were doing, many people didn't get it at first instance and I also didn't understand what they were doing. Rather than that, I would say this is one of the best movies of 2023. Biju Menon and Vineeth played their roles nicely but the highlight is the Maharashtrian Girish Kulkarni, I have no words to explain his acting. I think it's time to rewatch the movie again.

The movie has quite different and less travelled backdrop and characters are fresh for this story. First twenty minutes, it was very difficult to follow the movie, later its become slow burner and hooked to the murder investigation.

The story flow and how it travel across different locations and revealing the different layers of the characters nicely. The climax is bit unexpected and looks more abrupt.

The best part is that all the characters had the grey shade in this story but still good human being. Decent watch and tune for the slow narration.

It falls under a good film with proper script and screenplay to lead from scene to another.

No time wasting scenes, songs or fights Every charecter had their scenes naturally performed with realistic tone as in our real lives, as in most Malayalam movies.

Some logistic questions do come into mind?

How is that they travel from Thrissur to Coimbatore and then to Muthupet near Thiruvarur in coastal Tamilnadu and return back to Coimbatore on same night?! Geographically, this seems impossible even with highways and nil traffic!

The ending was very dampened and abrupt which made a movie that could be 'best' to score 'just good'!

What happened to the 2 kilo gold, is a million dollar unanswered question in the movie?! If anyone got a clue about this, please update!

Stellar performance by the cast, spellbinding script and very impressive direction, especially as there are many new artists such as the role of Arul , Abbas wife , Chechi etc to name a few .

BGM by Bijibal and Sound Design by Ganesh Marar is superb and adding to the whole feel of the experience.

It has enough lighter moments as well and not just about intense monents . Biju menon and Aparna Balamurli performance along with each and every character is amazing. Kochu preman .

Vineeth Srinivas character is also delivered seamlessly . Shyam Pushkaran is scaling new heights with each and every movie .
