Udal

The movie is good in first half and bad in second half. The story was very good in first up and it build up nice tension among the characters. The second half ruined everything. They just made indran an action hero and he can defend from 2 strong adults. Lot of injury for indran but he still manages to overpower others. Second half is completely spent on Indran fighting and hitting other. Even kills one with trap.

It would have been an interesting watch had the indran s character used some other means to expose the guilty instead of going full action mode. Some unwanted sx scenes are added. Overall one time watch.

In the dead of night, a man is physically tortured by his exasperated daughter-in-law and her beau. Why? Because she is tired of being the homemaker while her spouse works in another city. They have murdered his wife and he is next in line. The man is old, he can't see or hear properly and appears to be vulnerable. Yet he single-handedly fights off his attackers and leaves the audience awestruck. The entire second half is shot in darkness and this is the film's biggest asset. Performances are excellent. The background music is another plus point. Do watch Malayalam film #Udal in cinemas. Rating 4/5.

Udal (Body) has a lot more going on than the unabashed violence and gore that you would expect from it. Shiny (Durga Krishna) is a shady young mother of a boy living with her aged in-laws, one of whom is bedridden. She is tired of caring for her mother-in-law, further aggravated by her husband's absence. And the only relief for her in this mess is her new boyfriend, Kiran (Dhyan). Things are designed to go wrong when one night Shiny invites Kiran to her home. The opening sequences are disgusting rather than eerie, making me question my decision to watch this after a full meal. But soon after the night falls in the film, I was hooked. And so it begins. Udal is a decently made thriller that would remind one of recent Hollywood thrillers, but I for one enjoyed what director Ratheesh has concocted here. Which is an inconspicuous psychological thriller.

Udal: This movie is a different experience when comparing with other malayalam thrillers. A technically rich edge-of-the-seat-thriller after a long time.

DOP, BGM and sound design are the major highlights.

Career best performances from Indrans, Durga and Dhyan takes this movie to another level. Writer-director Ratheesh Regunathan sets the benchmark high with his debut movie. Felt like watching a Korean violence thriller.

Decent thrilling experience I got from this wonderful movie, it was emotional from each and every angle. I strongly believe that it can happen in everyone's life for sure, make sure that you do good things till the end... take care of your loved ones and no compromise in that... lack of care, you'll have to pay for it. That's it from my end.
