CIA: Comrade in America

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.

CIA- a travel for love and meaning of life U CAN WATCH UT FOR A EVENING SNACK TIME MOVIE..its best for it A must watch watch amal neerad film..there is not much of big story but the way the director had made us to feel in this movie makes us great.. Dont expect much in this movie..without expectation watch and get the most fun of it and sure i say climax gives us a worthy satisfaction.there goes the credit to director..and excellent screenplay and amazing DOP BY cameraman.gives us a pleasing throughout the entire movie.. Some drawbacks i feel was..if some story would have been that would been an excellent to dulquer as he can keep this in some good movies list yet its a good movie..it doesnt waste ur time..

Comrade In America (2017): Lately, Malayalam films have been high on communism when the concept itself is dead, at least in India. Earlier this year, we had Oru Mexican Aparatha, which dealt with student politics. Last month, actor Nivin Pauly had Sakhavu, in which, the protagonist rediscovered his left-wing ideals. And now, Comrade in America, which just used communism for hero's backdrop and nothing much.It is mostly about hero's search for his lover Plot: Aji Matthews (Dulquer Salman), a follower of Communism, travels to USA illegally to stop the wedding of his girlfriend Sarah (Kathika Muralidharan). He along with other people gets caught by the American police while crossing the border.

My Review: There's an interesting portion in the film where a drunk Aji imagines himself having a conversation with Karl Marx, Lenin and Che Guevara, who persuade him to find his love, Sarah. Were you under the impression that communism was at the core of this film? You were wrong. Even though the setup where hero narrates his flashback to history legends,his love story is so clichéd.Actors performances and Gopi Sundar's music helped the movie.

It is surprising to see that our Comrade doesn't even reach America by the last 10 minutes of the movie.First half is entirely in Kerala and second half mostly consists of his struggle to reach the border.

Amal Neerad has great potential in the script but he could have made it lot better but he stuck to the simple way.We can clearly see the clear wastage of huge script.

Dulquer is as usual with his charm and terrific performance.He is perfect as Aji and he even became a singer for this film and he is amazing in his debut as singer too.Actresses are also good looking and gave decent performances.

So,CIA is just a decent watch even though it has lot of potential in script.Watch it if you are Dulquer's fan.

My rating 6.5/10

The movie was a good one. I felt it like two parallel world's joined together to convince the audience. The movie could be shot as two different films.
