Excellent screenplay from Rony david raj and brilliant and Amazing debut for director Roby Varghese Raj !

Taut film making and narration and pacing of the movie is very very enagaing ; A perfect blend of realstic and cinematic entertainment !

Character arc is outstanding ,every one got their scenes to spark ,special mention to Kishore

azees nedumangadu and Shabareesh Varma ; their roles were new to them but they did true justice to it !

The role of George Martin is abosultely Nailed by mammoka his Versality of portraying differnt shades to police officers is Impressive as ever !

This one surely deserved to be experinced from big screen !

Worth the time !

My rating 9.4 !

A proper police procedural commercialized for the Malayalam audience in a way that it's still realistic enough in parts but also gives moments of mass celebration for the Mammootty fans. The character Mammooty plays is nothing like the glorified cop roles he has done in the past and is very down to earth but the film takes its moments to break that magic to showcase the superstar which the audience seems to love. Mammootty actually looks pretty great and does it pretty well in such action scenes that are designed to get the mass response in theatres. Being based on a true story, there must have been some liberties taken here. But if it showed the story to be a bit more gray it would've been great. The way the crime is depicted, the revisits to it, seems to be quite insensitive, just for the sake of making the villains look more evil.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience but not as great as the fans claim it to be.

When Rorschach became a super hit, I was gladly surprised that such a style of film was working for the Malayali audience even though Mammootty was there as an incentive. But the amount of overpraise that film got and the way this is becoming such a big success, it feels like Mammootty just have to show up with something decent with enough moments for the fans to celebrate and they will make it a huge success.

Honestly, can't say anything much wrong about it. Seemed like the story was perfectly crafted, and it gave the director the freedom to execute it properly. The brothers did a good job, and a good insightful interview about their process and timeline to develop and streamline it is required. They haven't overdone anything, that was a good thing. The film even provides a small relief through Mumbaivala Shiju character from the hectic investigation process. There are some Cameo appearances as such. There are 2-3 short scenes in the film that are not suitable to watch for children, but it was necessary and is aesthetically minimal as well compared to similar films. I believe this minimalism in portraying these elements is a very good thing, and hope this ethics in filmmaking won't be replaced. A small ticker that says a film element such as that is to be shown on the the side of the screen with a timer would help as well. To just to say a negative, I am not sure why George had to find words in English, and that too strainingly when he was asking an UP Officer to translate it in Hindi. That was not needed at all, and the film showed earlier he can handle Hindi, cause in a public function he was supposed to sing a Hindi song. Many liked RDX for it's fight sequences, for me some of those were a bit cringey. This film offers some fight sequence as well, and if you like an investigation thriller movie, this is a good one and might be the season best.

Kannur Squad is super cinema. Hearty congrats to Mammokka for the Mesmerizing act. You are a super hero. Excellent direction from the beginning till end. A special word of appreciation to the director. Very good background music. Even without romance and songs, the movie is awesome. Wonderful camera. Very beautiful locations. Great team work. Even the villain characters are so great. The storyline is so good. Each character has its own identity. I would like to watch again the movie. Don't miss the opportunity to watch the movie. Hats off to the entire team for the excellent execution of the cinema. I am so happy for the excellent treat. Anitha Kumary L.

I had high expectations for this film and safe to say this movie really did meet my standards. The plot was original and not cliche at all. The fight scenes were great and did not look fake at all. The movie was so interesting people were on the edge of the seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. Mammotty and his team acted so naturally and we could see all the betrayal, friendships and reconciliation throughout the film. The viewers were misguided so many times throughout the films, there were plot twists were you least expected them. I would have given the film 10 stars but I feel like there were some parts that were left incomplete they weren't major parts most viewers probably don't even notice but we did. I also would have given it to 10 stars if they had given Sushin Shyam more opportunities to show off this music and bgm. Don't get me wrong I loved the music but I feel like sushin could have made even better music if he had more opportunities. There were like 2 songs in the movie and I felt like we needed more music and more bgm. I know sushin can do more music if there was time, but I also felt that since it was a thriller and there needed to be a lot of talking sushin wasn't able to fit in bgms in the middle like in kurup and bheeshmaparvam. The beginning scene where the music came in was amazing it gave everyone goosebumps and everyone was praising sushin for it. Sushin did a great job with the music in conclusion. Overall this movie was amazing the whole team was amazing and I would recommend it to every mammokka fan I know. I really hope to see movies like this in the future, can't wait!!
