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.

The movie plot is somewhat similar to Don't breathe.. here the premise is good ..they could've done better with it... 1st 45 minutes is just unwanted long shots for no reason.. it lags a lot.. then after that the movie begins and we're ready to watch some action and it says "take a breath"(interval)..so technically the movie begins halfway..

Now this is what i expect from movies... violence just like hollywood movies... I DON'T SEE many movies like this in mollywood ..i liked kala.. now this .. this movie sometimes feel like a serial .. the music sucks.music of indrans was good.. Color grading is too dull... Lighting could've been better.. the violence scenese are just awesome..loved all those scenes... Several mistakes are there , but i didn't mind it, coz what i wanna see is violence... Malayalam producers like to play it safe..so they don't produce movies with violence so that they get money from family audience... Hatsoff to the producer to accepting the violence.. some more money should've been spent for vfx (which sometimes feel off) , especially the last scene , it is clear that the house is not the only house there.. the vfx trees are placed wrongly... The director could've avoided some of the obvious mistakes ... Overall i liked it because of the plot and violence but i didn't like it because of the bad making.

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.

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.

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.
