Antakshari

I have watched many thriller movies ,but the genre of malayalam thrillers always builds up the tension .This movie did a great job to build that tension.

Pros: 1.camera movements and screenplay 2.the bgm 3.the character and their performances 4.the mystery that's kept on 5.the sound mixing

Cons: 1.the climax-ended in a usual manner 2.some characters doesn't had enough depth (guess the characters)

OVERALL A MUST WATCH EXPERIENCE.

Anthakshari is a new take on the cat and mouse game of cop and culprit. As the name suggests, the lead played by Saiju Kurup is a cop who favours the singing game of Anthakshari over hard punches on his criminals. An unexpected murder attempt on his family guides him to an unknown serial killer at his work over decades.

Quite compelling, very engaging at times, this is a good script made well but suffers from mediocre camera quality, sound design, and even the sets that reminds of an amateur film production.

This film deserved a better budget.

A one time watch movie with some good performances. A tried and tested plot presented in a novel way, not sure if it is effective.

Pros: Camera BGM Acting

Cons: The storyline left incomplete at a lot of places, unnecessary subplots.

Predictable climax.

To be very frank I was not aware of this movie. Was casually surfing over different OTT platforms. Started watching expecting a comedy movie but it was classic thriller. Really a good work. Must watch.

Movie is worth watching, performances are commendable and the movie never feels slow or boring in any way. Although the movie is good there are still some loose ends at the end, there was more than one subplots which was not fully ended. Still overall the movie is worth watching.
