Ela Veezha Poonchira

Film Review: Ela Veeza Poonchira ( Malyalam language film streaming on Prime Video!!) ( English subtitles available)

Synopsis: Two police officers Madhu( Saubin Shahir) & Sudhi ( Sudhi Koppa) manning a wireless police station in the remote Ela Veeza Poonchira hilltop in the Kottayam district in Kerala get news about a woman's body parts found scattered in different places in the forest below!! Will they be able to track down the killer and solve the mystery?

A different kind of a film where the first half literally crawls forward with things like the mudane day to day activities of the bored officers being shown !! Somewhere after the midway point is where things start to heat up .. and the climax is explosive .. the how & why are all explained and the ending has a touch of poetic justice to it !!

Brilliantly directed by Shahir Kabir, the cinematography is awesome and captures the beautiful green landscape very well. The pace of the film might seem very slow to start off with , but it will be well worth ur time if u stay on till the end!!

Saubin is awesome, giving a restrained performance all throughout. Sudhi too lends good support to move the story forward!!

The climax is somewhat explosive and macabre so friends, be prepared for the unexpected!!

A simple story narrated without any flashbacks, dhishoom dhishoom, loud BGM & songs !!

I loved the film !! However people who like fast paced thrillers might find it boring due to the slow pace of the film!! Better stick to Rohit Shettys regular ones in that case 😁!!

Yeah...before I sign off ,would like to tell u that this film reminds you of slow paced classics like "No country for old men" starring Javier Bardem & "Bad Company aka Nature of the Beast " starring Lance Henrikson & Eric Roberts. If u've watched & liked these, then Ela Veeza Poonchira is the one for u this weekend!!

Going with 3.5/5 for this one .. Adios 🙂!!

We've all seen the cliché story of Ela Veezha Poonchira (2022), but something about this movie feels so fresh and that deserves praise. This is one of those movies that keeps you engaged from starting to the end, but it kind of gives you a feeling that something is missing when the movie ends. Don't get me wrong, this is a really well made movie and there is literally nothing to add to it. The highlights are great performance from the cast, good background score, an overall good direction, the atmosphere, the Suspense and the Thrilling element that holds the audiences attention to the very end of the movie.

And so yeah, this movie is underrated for some reason that I can't make out. It is a one time watchable movie, but most of the movies that doesn't have half the quality of Ela Veezha Poonchira (2022) have gotten better recognition. Though for some viewers the first half might feel slow paced, it's one of my favorite parts of this movie.

Heard so many amazing things about Ela Veezha Poonchira. But, after finishing the film I can say it's not an amazing film for me but just a good film. It's slow burn and in slow burn there should be something big in climax. But here, waiting was not worth it. That twist didn't work well for me.

The good things are the performances by the actors, brilliant location and atmosphere and you'll get to know about the place Ela veezha poonchira in Kerala. Also, I'm writing this so many days after watching the film, still I remember the scenes because of the atmosphere created. So, no doubt it's a good film, you'll not forget it really, you can watch it once.

Available on Prime Video.

At first, you will be puzzled, doubtful as to where this story might be leading you to; the more time passes, the more scepticism will accrue; but you have to keep patience because once it reaches its halfway point, the storytelling takes a slight turn and breaks away from its previous course and jumps onto an entirely new route, and the course of events is now set into motion; from there on, there's no turning back as the story seemed to have a bag full of trickeries reserved specifically for the climactic portions and believe me when I say, not only do they deliver, but they also make up for the sluggishness upfront. You will be in for a shock!
