Brilliant acting , if you watch this in Querentine you can understand even better, If Kerala haven't controlled the virus it's might take unimaginable lives the way they acted in movie you think it's happening in real life , there are no songs or useless things shown in the movie like typical Indian movies does.
The movie about the Nipah virus outbreak in Kerala and how it was contained effectively with stupendous work of the officials. Majority of the movie revolves around the process of contact tracing to the first infected person. There is a lot of work done to pace-up the screenplay in this portion but it fails to translate on-screen because there are too many characters involved around it that we lose track of what is happening.Except for Soubin Shahir who scored in the limited frames provided, either those other characters involved should have established well to the audience to follow or the number of characters should have been limited.
The great survival thriller, a must watchable motivational movie. The best story and the direction, all the cast teams are acted well. All the very best team #Virus
This is one of the best (medical) thrillers I have seen and also a very realistic portrayal of the characters from the actual virus outbreak scenario based on my reading of news reports ( I had closely followed the outbreak when it happened). The makers of this movie has done a great research before creating this movie and a respect them for that.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie and I will recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a good medical thriller.
(One thing I felt that could have been avoided were somewhat gross scenes like vomiting. But then, maybe in a medical thriller - such things are to be expected. )
Brilliant movie! Hats of to the director Aashiq Abu in keeping it raw and real. This movie brings together a host of well-known Malayalam actors from the current generation angry young man Tovino as the DC to Indrans as the #1 Nipah victim's father and each one of them I believe brought in one of their greatest performances even with short screen times.
It truly brings into perspective what doctors and health workers go through on a daily basis and Ashiq Abu and team does justice in bringing this to the fore.
The screenplay has brought out the Nipah incident in an eerily beautiful way and the humans emotions have been captured intensely even though it may not invest you deeply into the characters due to short screens times.
The bgm was on spot and Sushin Shyam does a great job in bringing out the grim and tense atmosphere, a class effort from him as always.
All in all a laudable effort and a must watch movie at the top of an already crowded list of top Malayalam movies this year.
