Chaaver

The movie Chaaver is not an action movie but a political crime thriller. Director Tinu Pappachan again proved that he is promising director in industry. The movie deals with different themes. Even thought explicitly it speaks about the political crimes but implicitly it tells about caste issue. When we compare Kerala state with other south Indian states we don't have such caste problems in our society but when this issues comes to our family and personal life then there comes real problems. If you have communist ideology ,highly educated, a public figure like villan in movie your caste concept will be over every ideology that is what movies speaks. Along with that movie portray how local party members are used for crimes and party get away from the issues began by themselves. "The end justifies the means" implicitly criticised by the writer. The Marxist party members will not love this movie but movie never critice party explicitly.

This movie had a strong story but sadly the screenplay was not up to the mark. The creators forgot to execute the movie properly. The director attempted to convey more through the imagery shown throughout the film, but even that couldn't save the sinking ship.

The technical side was brilliant in this movie and that combined with the cinematography was top-notch. Locations were carefully selected and that's another positive in the movie.

Rather than going into taking sides and going into politics, people should try to constructively criticize a piece of art. Sadly that's not happening in our contemporary times.

Kunchacko Boban has been involved in some weak script films recently, and this one will also be remembered as one of his poor choices. Arjun Ashokan and Manoj K. U were superb in their respective roles.

Chaaver had good intentions and a great message to pass along, but the tedious storytelling sadly punctured the beauty of this film

DELICIOUS

-One thing that Chaaver is extremely rich in is symbols!

From the opening scene that zoomed in on a mouse getting ready to eat a roach to Pablo Neruda's poem

-It was encouraging to see the theme of loyalty present across characters

-The photography added a plus to the storytelling with engaging camera movements and placements that were as curious as we were.

-It was quite interesting that the four goons all came from different faiths. Without being a spoiler, when you understand the intent of their murder, it kinda makes sense why they were selected

BLAND

-The storytelling was regrettably slooow and unengaging😭 The movie only got a boost toward the last 20 minutes, this was obviously too late.

The scene sequences seemed detached: one moment we were introduced to Ashokan and his partners and another one we were taken to Arun and his mom who appeared cold toward each other.

The lack of a parallel plot made the scenario redundant and the long scenes impaired the beauty of this film

-The everpresent ominous score made it look as if something gripping was going to happen but nope, we only saw Ashokan and his partners driving and driving in their car😔

-As Chaaver carried an important message, inspirational and thought-provoking dialogues could have been crafted to make it memorable

Joy Mathew has a tendency to make his scenarios tedious as he did with 'Uncle', so sad that we witnessed the same pattern with Chaaver...

The theme of the movie is violence stemming from political rivalry has long plagued Kerala's conscience and this persists even today. With numerous people from various outfits losing their lives in organised attacks and retaliations, the state has an extensive history of such incidents This movie had no main story. A 10 minute story makes 2 hours story with lagging. Total tragedy movie. Visuals are incredible. A veriety of movie musically visually theyyam based, but the main fault is story line. They might keep atleast good story line while making this movie. Tinu Papachan can direct a mega serial like this story line.

It's a film that makes you realise, how you have a different taste in films. Chaver is a " Slow burner " by Tinu Pappachan which has not been explored in Malayalam cinema much often.. rather than the story movies highlight is it's masterfully done cinematography and background scoring.. that just gifts us with these heart breaking moments. The film request it's audience to ease in to the fate awaiting it's characters.. Arjun Ashokans character felt like a representative of the audience who are also innocent to the world of "Chavers " and as he is dragged into it so are we into a reality we have been unaware of or ignored. Oppose to public opinion Pepe's Character was perfection and it was awesome to see the actor in a new light.. the climax reminds us of " Varathan " movie but different. Over all its a film for the stoners, lonely people and those minds that love to get lost in simple things...
