Very dark but a great watch it kept me on the edge of my seat really intense story
Moothon sets an new genre to Malayalam cinema.it tells a story as deep as dark in his way it self. It is interesting even it is an drama by plot. You can try this for a new experimental Malayalam movie.
By performance
Nivinpauly and Mathew carried this film on their shoulder.
Music and cinematography are remarkable.
Great acting and direction. Very dark but excellent making. Intense scenes and great camera work. Best of malayalam industry.
This film really deserves its due credits. The narrative itself is so much touchy that the dark and raw essence of the emotion is still intact in it. A beautiful love story taking such a dark turn. The first thing which is to be appreciated is the performances. I would say each and everyone were great but Nivin Pauly took his dark character seriously to the next level. Playing a guy who hides his pain in the first part and then as a drug addict in the second one. Its unbelievable that it is the same guy I witnessed as a tamed personality in Bangalore Days. Roshan Mathew too, in a short screen time without uttering a single dialogue beautifully potrayed a character through his spellbound expressions and his eyes. The camera work too is phenomenal. The panning of the camera for recording the rain sequence and atlast the distorted camera work during the outburst of the character was something brilliantly done. Moreover, the messaging of the film is very much touchy and surely one of a kind. I will surely recommend this movie. Do give it a watch. Its something which probably you have never witnessed with such an ease.
No words to say stunned by nivin pauly bold attempt by the team too
