What a time waste movie
Dragging, boring and honestly was shocked and happy at the abrupt ending of this hopeless movie. Many reviews are in full appreciation of this time waste movie. Right from the beginning till the end pace of the movie is too slow.
Big fan of Vijay sethupathi movies in this movie the director didn't give him importance this movie had that potential only Nithya menen dominated but her dominance couldn't up to the mark.
19 1 a - Another Malayalam movie to end the Friday over an OTT . Rather VJS it was Nithya Menon who was present all over the movie . Well toned up physic gets back NM's look back to cute old times . She is definitely one beautiful heroines in recent days . VJS appears for a short time and we just have only Nithya Menon to be spoken about . The location and the weather during which the movie was shot was very interesting . A calm and pleasant village it was . Beyond this I really did not understand the message the director had tried to convey through this movie . The movie runs at a very slow pace with some repeated scenes and locations seeding more thoughts in our mind about where actually the story is leading to . Only to realise it ended pretty abruptly . Article 19(1)(a) is actually about freedom of speech and expression and I hereby express that this movie is not worth to be suggested for . Overall , "19 1 a" time to Stay Order (stay away) .
The casting was great for the most of the major roles. Love to see Nithya Menen back. Missed her movies in Malayalam. Good directing and lot more to see in future. Story line is very thin with a small concept that could have done as 30 min documentary/art film. There is a 15% story in the movie and the rest 85% is to be figured out by the viewers by their own which is the similar concept which we have seen in other movie in the similar category. There was more room for the characters to build, especially for the Nithya Menen character. Felt that this movie had a flat line pace till up the end.
The movie has a very relevant socio-political references , though it fails to develop from anything more than a mere reference. VJS and Nithya Menen have done their best , but the roles are nothing challenging for them. Nithya dubbing sounds terrible.
The political reference had so much opportunities to create an impact . How ever the story is stuck around nithyas uneventful life getting tangled with something very important. It's not just her life, the whole movie is quite uneventful thru out.
When the police team ,especially when Indrans , stepped in I had high hopes that the movie would now lead to something more. But it then goes back to same path. Why did they even have Indrans name in poster and his role ?
Super slow movie, only 1.45hrs but it felt like taking ages to finish. I wouldn't recommend watching even for the good cast.
