Joji

An another awesome film by Dileesh pothan an strong acting but every character in the is great special applause to fahadh fasil.

Speaking of the director's previous movies - Maheshinte Prathikaaram and Thondimuthal were classes apart.

The problem with Joji is there is an element of predictability lingering in the air, right from the start till the very end.

Characters have no great depth, all we know about Joji is he is frustrated with his life, but to what level and due to what reason is not clearly conveyed. Same goes with his accomplice Bincy.

Acting performances are good.

Movie has a steady pace and it does not drag.

Background score could have been scores better, all one remembers of the background music is that eerie western classical playing all the time, offering nothing fresh.

Overall an ok-ok watch !

The total film is developing around a single family. A rich family. The plot is great. The story line is narrow and pitch perfect. All the actors does the great work. The screenplay is done well too. The main attraction of the film is the cinematography,art, and the background score. They given a great treatment with the bg score towards the scenes. Some the top angle shots are amazing. The climax is gives morality to the bad things is much notable. A different story yet again in malayalam cinema. Worth every minute.

What a movie. Pothettan outsmarted himself. I can't convey how good this movie is in words. You should just experience it.

Joji is the best 2021 Indian film i have watched so far. The script has brilliantly taken certain elements from Shakespeare's Macbeth and used it in rural kerala's setting in it's own unique way. Fahadh proves why he is the talk of the whole country right now by delivering a spectacular performance but it's the background score which made this slow burning thriller so effective. Top tier stuff. That said first hour of it's slightly slow but the music, performances and those beautiful wide angled shots builds the tension very well in it and we as viewer's are aware that something hideous is simmering and it's gonna blow up and it takes it's time in that but when it blows up the last 40 minutes of it are all worth it and makes our skin crawl with uncertainty and tension. It's streaming on Prime video, do check it out.
