Operation Java

There is never a dull moment in this movie, except for maybe that one song sequence. This manages to make us feel convinced that this is how cyber police in Kerala works. We don't feel like any tech stuff they show is out of place. That is all one needs to ask from such a movie. When most movies show tech stuff in an incorrect way, this is breath of fresh air. It feels grounded in reality.

At times it resembled Action Hero Biju. They have stitched together the investigation of several unrelated cyber crime cases in a seamless manner. It's told through the eyes of the two heroes. The story progresses through their viewpoint.

The script doesn't lag anywhere. The comic relief we get is not at all forced and feels very organic.

The acting is very good. There is no one who did their part in a bad way.

The art, costumes, editing departments too did a commendable job.

The only problem I found was that there was a bit too much of melodrama in it. The heroes always seem like they are not at all happy about what they got.

If you want to watch an entertaining film which doesn't have any dull moment in it, go for this.

Even before its release, the film made a huge splash with trailers, teasers in YouTube!

The film tells the story of Anthony George and Vinayak Das, who go from Salem to become courier boys and food delivery boys without getting a permanent job after engineering.

Balu Varghese and Lukman Avaran are the B Tech cyber youngsters in the lead role. Lukman takes the field to another level with his eloquence in a crucial scene that presents an emotional storyline through dialogue.

But the film does not revolve around them, it goes completely through the script and the making.

The film begins with Alphonse's son's 'Premam' becoming a huge success and its censor copy being leaked on the internet.

Antony and Vinayak Das are approaching SHO Prathap of the Cyber Wing in Kochi with the conclusion that the route found by the police is not behind it.

The first part of Java is that the inspector, impressed by these guys ability, conducts the investigation the way they say.

The film falls on track from the very first frame as it is an investigation of an incident that is familiar and interesting to the Malayalee.

Gathering the audience as well. Java can be used from the beginning to create the impression that it can do justice to the hype received online

Realistic and smart cyber police operations make the film worthwhile.

The director manages to keep the audience curious throughout the operation. Nowhere does it seem like the work of a newcomer, says Tarun Murthy.

Scripting Excellent. Making it's a step ahead.

You can feel the exact homework behind it on the screen.

Operation Java is another film in which a talented director emphasizes that, actors are not an essential element.

As mentioned earlier, it is not the path of these two that is advancing in the investigative paths of cyber policing.

Irshad has the full versatility of a cyber-wing station head. Binu Pappu and Prashant Alexander performed well.

Operation Java came to an unexpected end.

The compulsion to be realistic keeps the dramatic expectations of the traditional audience at bay.

The film ends with the submission of millions of temporary / contract basic / daily wage employees in the Kingdom of India.

A dedication that hooks somewhere inside.

Inspired from cases that were reported under the Cyber Cell department throughout the country, Operation Java opens several investigation files, fictionizes it, and takes us through these cases from the point of view of Antony and Dasan. Striving to make a living through casual jobs, Antony and Dasan dream of making it big someday, but they just don't make it to the shore. To the duo, clinging on to the 'lead' they had found in an interesting case is their only "escape from reality". The Director focuses on two issues here; cyber-crime and unemployment and brings about an equal balance in both core elements. While the subjects of cyber-crimes reveal how frightening and cunning certain Humans can be, the light that falls on Antony and Dasan and their lives make you empathetic and feel pity for them. I felt the first act of the screenplay to be the most interesting and entertaining, whereas better casting and a proper ending would've uplifted 'Operation Angel'. Also, with most of the shots being single takes, as an audience, you feel as if you are one among the group of officers, which is a huge plus point in keeping the audience engaged, and to add to this engagement, there is beaty music from Jakes Bejoy kicking it up a notch. There have been plenty of movies and TV shows that dealt with financial frauds, scams, and cyber-crimes. Operation Java is a mix of these movies and TV shows with a 'home ground' script, and by home ground, what I meant is how much the language audience can relate to. Malayalam cinema yet again proves that it does not need big names on the poster to attract the audience, content is always king in this industry.

"Operation Java" shows us the routine mode of operation of Kerala cybercell through the eyes of 2 newly joined technical assistants.

This film itself is based on true crime investigations conducted by cybercell.

Debutant writer- director Tharun Moorthy did a fantastic job in keeping viewers engaged with fast paced screenplay and interesting plot points.

Jakes Bejoy adds to the momentum of film with his apt music scores that.

Film ends with a promise of a continuation.

Very good crime thriller movie. This movie shows the journey of two Btech graduates who are temporary workers. Nice movie worth watching with some good elements of thriller.
