Randomly gave it a watch after hearing some good reviews , but this movie is GOOD , trust me. Compared to another Malayalam movie Ishq which dealt with the issue of moral policing as well , this movie provides a very different outlook and much refreshing. Few loopholes in the beginning all gets cleared out by the end . The acting is top notch with Sreenath Bhasi was his career best performance. Special props to the screenplay that made this movie so thrilling . Brilliant direction from the debutant. Cinematography is beautiful as always.

My Impression On This Movie Until The Half Of The Film Is Like A Lame Love Story With A Lot Of Logic Loop Holes ! But When The Story Moves To The End , The Director Just Made It An Amazing Film ! All The Logic Holes Just Dissapeared ! Anna Ben Was Amazing ! The Cameraman Never Failed To Make Us Fall In Love With Kerala ! Amazing Frames ! The Best In This Film Is The Characterisations ! I Loved The Way How The Director Changed Our Impression On The Characters Straight Oppisite When The Movie Ends ! Over All , This Film Will Create A Magic To The Audience ! AND ALSO IT CONVEYS A VERY GOOD MESSAGE ! AND I Also Loved The Way A Female Character Lead The Story Perfectly

A regualr story with Fresh treatment of screenplay. Anna Ben is good. I liked her performance in Helen. But here there isn't much here. Finally Roy ! He completes the film.

You will not now where the story is headed until the climax. That's the beauty! Based on real incidents (you will know why I've said this), you cannot describe this movie as a love story but, rather a... (no spoilers). Give it a watch guys and have patience because the 1st hour will make you little bore but the next hour is where the beauty of this movie resides.

Something more than the average teen romance....Also all actors are right/apt choosen for their roles...Great direction for a new comer...

Nicely executed perfect movie. Its predictable even to some extent but the final verdict gives a nice impression to the viewers. Romantic movie turns to a simple Thriller.

Lot of plot holes in the movie. The film is visually stunning and acting is really good, but most of the movie is spent building up to a twist that was jarring, out of place and unbelievable. If the writer had stuck with a simpler script, it could've been a much better movie.

I decided to give this movie a shot after watching the trailer. The movie really looks and is high quality. The story depicts Jessy and Vishnu's love development and touches on the subject on how the most minor of incidents in our lives can create brilliant adventures and stories to be told. I like the fact that throughout the entire movie it isn't just a typical romantic 'flick'. Rather, it also brings in the character of Roy, who also combines in a sense of thriller into the movie. I really recommend watching this on Netflix if you can.

This was not a usual mollywood film , malayalam film are best known for its originality , this film has many logic holes and unanswered questions . I dont know why this movie was hipped , i saw many positive reviews and came up with more expectations , but end with not bad ,but this film will change up the usual protoganist ,antogonist things in cinema . normal commercial film .

I am all for the final message that Kappela (Chapel) conveys on the subject of virtual friendship and romance in the age of WhatsApp, but I still had some troubles digesting that message what with the virulent turn the plot takes post the midpoint turning from a sweet story of serendipitous romance to a thriller touching upon the concept of moral policing. And in that transformation, this social drama loses some of its sheen that it had built through the lovely and picturesque shots (of Wayanad) that make the first half. Anna Ben is no doubt in her best avatar, only a bit typecast if that heavy term can be used for her third film, but who has really been surprising me even before Kumbalangi Nights (2019) is Sreenath Bhasi, who is finally getting due for his acting talent. Greatly supported by Roshan Mathew, with his realistic portrayal of a loverboy, Kappela has several positives that justify a watch for the average moviegoer, but in the grand scheme of things, it refuses to go beyond the boundary that it itself had drawn when it decided to take the two-in-one genre-bending approach, a tried-and-failed trope in Malayalam cinema. Even if one were to disregard the underlying ideologies that the film advocates and emphasises on, there are unanswered questions and gaps in the plot that prevent from calling it anything above average. But I'll be looking out for Muhammed Musthafa. TN.

A simple movie with a good message. Cast was outstanding and did their job very well. Brilliant work done by the director as well as other staff incharges. I really enjoyed watching this film.

Since it was raining in Mumbai yesterday I sat at home and watched this movie with nil expectations with 3 key characters I wouldn't give a second look and couldn't believe my eyes as the movie entered the last lap. Make such movies and a whole lot of people will stay at home instead of gallivanting aimlessly on the roads during the pandemic. This is among my top 3 of the 50 odd Malayalam movies I watched from March 2020.. Like Innocent said..inikye ishtayee ta.. Hats of to the 3 leads, and the supporting cast..

Cant believe I missed this gem during its shortlived theater run that was curtailed by the outbreak of Covid 19. Kappela is a quaint little romance drama which moves at breakneck pace to become a compelling thriller.

While all the three leads put in superb performances, it is the nuanced portrayal by Sreenath Bhasi of the character 'Roy' will ample shades of grey that ends up truly mesmerizing you, Director Musthafa paints a masterpiece with his careful detailing of every character and his masterful casting.

Kudos to the irrepressible talent that is Anna Ben who delivers her third hit on the trot. And Roshan Mathew, what a talent! The dude is surely going places with his move to Bollywood and what not. A must watch. Highly recommended.

This movie attracted lot of memes and flooded whatsapp status and insta stories section. So I wasn't confident enough whether or not to watch this movie. Untill the last few minutes I had doubts as there were missing lgical connection between many scenes. last 10 minutes filled all dots and made me fall in love with this movie. Movie has Strong social message, which is delivered perfectly to the audience. What makes this perfect is that everyone feels these relatable and no exaggerations made. good cinematography. good music. great direction. good subject selection and perfect message delivery

Anna Ben, Roshan Mathew were good, but for me Sreenath Bhasi was outstanding with his performance else we would have known what his character is in actual though the screenplay is intact. Simple and decent movie. Could give only 7 because it took sometime, in fact a long time to get things into the real play. Definitely worth your time.

Far too many high ratings. The script is deliberately misleading to create suspense that never was! The lead character jessy is acted well, but rest of the cast trouble to act the 2 dimensional characters written for them. Selective portrayal of characters to create a fake suspense falls flat, and would be irritable to any intelligent viewer. Thus twist feels like a illogical ploy to create an illusion of some story. Lot of other reviews praise malayalam movies for excellence, but this movie is not one of them. Script is at best amateurish and contrived. Which is not the case of usually excellent malayalam movies. Watch it your own risk, and then you will be able to realise which one's are fake reviews!!

Sreenath bhasi just rocked in the movie. Roshan also played well. Worth watch

It's a good movie. A movie for those who have to cure their boredom. Excellent direction
