Oozham

Just another master piece of jeethu joshep. Everyones acting was realistic. Also Neeraj nailed his character . As you know it's JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

Synopsis - As the name implies it's the story of Surya who takes revenge against the murderer of his entire family as he lost hope for lawful justice.

When Drishyam director Jeethu Joseph is back with yet another thriller pairing with Prathviraj, the expectation was very high. Except for the dramatic narration, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Oozham on big screen. Jeethu introduced us a new genre called "Family Thriller" through Drishyam and he continues to do so through Oozham as well. Unlike his previous ventures (Memories & Drishyam), Jeethu eliminated the element of suspense and demanding the audience to sit back and watch – how he executes the revenge. This time Jeethu has chosen a non-linear narrative were in the movie begins with the climax chase by injecting the events leading up to it, which is completely new to the Malayalam audience. Oozham does have few negative points too - The Script. The plot was excellent, however that is travelling through a weak tread of script which failed to manage the tempo / pace in the first half. Another one is the overflow of English dialogues.

As far as the acting department goes, Prathviraj & Neeraj Madhav stands out among all. Thanks to Jeethu for making the family moments quite memorable. Divya Pillai, Balachandra menon & debut-ant Rasna Pavithran excelled in essaying their characters on screen. Though Pasupathi rendered quite impressive performance as Captain its V Jayaprakash (The main Antagonist) could have been more energetic.

Viswaroopam fame Shamdat's Cinematography was decent enough for Oozham. The innovative explode scenes reminded me of 360 angle sequences in Viswaroopam. Editing was excellent along with its VFX.

Bottom Line - This is strictly not for popcorn movie lovers, but for those who loves watching a thriller in all new way. Oozham is such a refreshing thriller to be enjoyed with family in this festive season.

Hi guys just completed watching this movie, don't compare with drishyam, it is a revenge drama and the execution is unique. Destroying your enemies one by one with 'controlled explosion' that is the tag line. For that you have to appreciate the director. The movie is entertaining and keeps u glued for the entire length.

Not all revenge dramas are well made from start to end, the plot is common i agree. But its execution to the climax is novel at least in malayalam cinema.

The director has attempted a new way of picturization by running two sequences one in present and other in flashback. Explosions have been created in close up with good vfx showing the movement of shock waves.

An element of surprise at the climax.

In my view the movie should get an rating of 8/10

What's wrong with these people, why they all criticising this movie it's a different kind of movie which isn't seen in malayam movies and it's a nice idea too from the director... Why the mallu fans always wants some stupid mass type of stuff like mamooty and mohanlal so often does, the movies are changing now a days and this movie is not a bad one at all... If u like thrillers just go for these kind of movies don't ask others about it

There is nothing interesting in this movie. Everyone will expect a lot from the director and thus this movie is a failure from his side. Unnecessary wastage of potential. Not up to the mark.The story line implies a revenge, that everyone will understand from the teaser itself. I couldn't find anything that holds us down to watch this movie. Everything found a little artificial to digest. If we take this director's previous attempts into consideration, then he did waste a lot of potential for this movie. Found a lot of scenes were i got embarrassed. Just watch it if you don't have any other work to do.May feel your two hours got wasted sitting in front of the screen. Thank God i didn't watched it in the theater. So i felt i just wasted two hours and not money. So even if you are watching this one, keep out all your expectations and then proceed. I found nothing interesting in this movie(may be because I expected a lot for Jeethu Joseph). All the best with watching this movie folks. I gave 3 out of 10.
