Oozham

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

i just saw the movie oozham. this a fantastic movie for action drama lovers.the simple plot told in a gripping and interesting way.the casting was so great in this movie.again prithviraj proved he is the leader for young malayalam cinema.the visual and sound quality of this movie making standards for malayalam cinema.the way jeethu improved in his directorial skills very evidentical in this movie.the movie follows a fight in to the climax that is superb concept.the editing done great work for that.you cannot take eyes from the screen when the movie begans .i want to watch this movie again and again.the bombing techniques and the small cartton appear on the screen give a different feel .i think this is the best revenge movie ever in malayam not in it's story but the way he take the revenge.

I didn't exactly expect a 'Drishyam' or 'Memories' when I went to watch Jeethu Joseph's latest crime drama 'Oozham' starring Prithviraj Sukumaran. However, when the thrill quotient is abysmally low and predictability is on the rise with each successive sequence, the movie tends to leave absolutely zero impact by the time the end credits roll. This is exactly what happens in the case of 'Oozham'. It's a clear- cut hero vs. villain revenge drama that has been done to death in the history of cinema itself. What makes these flicks engrossing are the innovative methods deployed by the protagonist to seek vengeance against the ones who wronged him. Here, even the methods stick out like a sore thumb. The leads converse with each other as if they're trying to pull off a 'Thani Oruvan'esque style cat and mouse thriller but one can't help getting reminded of Prithviraj's earlier crime thrillers 'Anwar' for the similar light shades used and the feel-good family portions (in Oozham's initial half), '7th Day' for its smooth talking criminal who gets the job done without much hassle, and 'Robin Hood' where the Tam-brahm dude gets wronged by a businessman and ultimately conjures up his own ways to seek redemption. The quick transitions from past to present looks effective initially but gets repetitive after a while.

Cardboard villains who wreak havoc for their own benefit and sporadically speak in English (for a good part of their screen time) take away a sizeable portion of our patience. Jayaprakash is definitely a good actor but the script reduces him to a mere buffoon. The same can be said about Pasupathy's character who at times even seemed unintentionally funny. Balachandra Menon and Neeraj Madhav are alright, but the actress who played Prithviraj's sister in the movie leaves a lot be desired. The cop characters and angles are underdeveloped and ultimately do very little but add to the run-time.

The less said about the plot the better. And I'm not saying that in a positive sense. The kind of screenplay that the viewer is subjected to, appears nothing short of disappointing. You very well know that it doesn't do one bit of good for a movie when people are staring into their phones way too often. Looking at the few positives, the BGM is pretty good and helps amp up the proceedings to a certain extent. I liked the director's idea of cutting a full length and quite well-executed action sequence into itsy-bitsy pieces to intensify the brawny element. However the reasons for all what unfolds on the screen is unquestionably hackneyed and predictability further plays spoilsport.

Quite frankly, the revenge drama (Jeethu claims 'Oozham' isn't a thriller but all signs point to yes!) requires some serious re-work in the editing department. Even then, I'm not sure the movie would be able to grasp the viewer's attention. To top it all, the climax is a complete bummer. This one gets a generous 2 out of five stars.

This film was the most worst revenge drama. It was with out any great plot. It neither shows family feelings. It shows very older method to showcase great revenge. But it was awful.Killing the people with Bombs. It was a below average bomb story. The hero was the only positive thing in this film. But he was also helpless since the scripting was pure low. The dual story telling was worst of its kind. Pathetic direction with a below average script. The montage used in this film was worst of its kind.Killing the people with Bombs.

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.
