Detective Ujjwalan

Detective Ujjwalan is a painful exercise in missed potential. The film lacks a proper script, meaningful dialogues, and any emotional depth. What remains is a string of lifeless scenes stitched together without rhythm or any real flow. The editing is abrupt, the background score is uninspired, and the visual storytelling is severely limited.

The idea of setting the story in a village is nice. But the film offers little more than close-up shots and dull faces, failing to create any charm or appeal. It tries to pass off as an old-school adventure, but it ends up being a below-par, boring piece of pointless fluff. And unlike what some say, this is not quirky like Scooby Doo. It's boring as hell.

Dhyan Sreenivasan, in the lead, gives a performance so dull it feels unfair to the audience and the story alike. He brings no spark to Ujjwalan, a protagonist who is neither heroic nor remotely interesting. Siju Wilson starts off well as a police officer, but his sudden devotion to Ujjwalan makes no sense.

There's nothing that holds the viewer. No emotions to connect with, no solid plot to follow, and no reason to care. The storytelling is stale, and the whole thing feels empty. Maybe Vineeth Sreenivasan could have played Ujjwalan better. Someone with the hidden humour and flair, like his Adv. Mukundan Unni? Just a thought.

Ultimately, it is a dull, boring affair. It's supposed to be a mystery, but you're too bored to want answers. That should say it all.

Detective Ujjwalan is a refreshingly quirky thriller that brings a unique blend of humor, suspense, and drama to the table. The film tells the story of Ujjwalan, a detective played by Dhyan Sreenivasan, who embarks on a mission to solve a complex case involving a missing person. The film's narrative is well-crafted, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the audience guessing. The pacing is well-balanced, moving seamlessly from fast-paced action sequences to slower, more introspective moments.

With strong performances and a well-crafted narrative, it is a must-watch for fans of the genre.

Good.

Detective ujjwalan is a horror comedy movie which revole around the village plachikave which is facing a threat they never seen before .

The movie is poorly executed. It tries but fails to impress me as an audience.

The comedy was outdated . The direction felt like a letdown. The music is forgettable . The story not that great . The climax fight look forced, as main character alone goes into the fight . The film put a very bad effort in redirecting the main character into mistaking someone for a killer.

The character arc of villian was not bad , it was good . The twist at the end was good . The hero arc was also good . His journey of overcomning his fears and standing up was nice ( even if it's a small thing).

It is a wasted potential . They could have done a better job to establish the village and its people ,their emotion ,their doubts ,their fear but they didn't. The film doesn't stand out among other serial killing stories. It felt like a cheap copy of other serial killer movies

For me the film Detective ujjwalan is a letdown.

Detective Ujjwalan is a film that I want more of, despite its rushed final act. For it's the world building and smooth storytelling that kept me on tenterhooks the whole time. A mysterious killer is out on the loose in a Kerala village and it's up to the village's incapable police and smart loafer Ujjwalan to find out who it could be. There's also additional support from a special police team, and together they try to unravel the mystery as the bodies keep falling. The makers have done a commendable job at building a fictional village, along with lores that are very well planned for future feature films. An overall fulfilling experience just short the final smack. I would watch out for these guys.

I would be honest - I had very bad perception starting to watch this - with Dhyan's choice of script and acting history - but the movie was pretty decent !

This is not a masterpiece or even a great film - but is engaging, most of humour lands and acting is pretty decent. Writing, especially towards the end was not that great - but overall, the movie engages and entertains.

The score and music are a bit too loud and editing is messy (especially towards the end) and pacing off in the middle bit - had these been better - this could even have been a great movie.

As it stands - it is watchable, pretty good movie.
