I Am Kathalan

Simple story, great execution

Wonderful acting by all, ni glamour required, smooth story telling, excellent direction, to the point, smart.

I had liked this director's other moovie Premalu too.

Naslen K. Gafoor is one of my favourite actors.

Best wishes to the team for future projects.

Casting is also great, they have made sure that importance is given to story than anything else.

Keep doing such great work on such a smart scripts which are precise.

I don't think this movie has any song.

The locations are also great, precise and simple.

I want to see more such movies.

Thank you to the team.

Have watched this movie on my trip to india, It is available in prime video in india but not in UAE. But anyways, solid film. It should have a better ending though... anyone who likes tech and those stuff will definitely like this film but whereas none techies.... NO, but maybe, guess we'll never know...

EXTRA: No need to read below

I don't know why but it says that this review is too, short but I countainted as much info possible, the thing is, I don't like to leave long reviews so this is just an extra, do not care about this ting, like literally, why 600, 300 is more than enough so I'm just typing this thing lol.

I Am Kathalan (I Am Lover) is a cool film to spend an afternoon on. Naslen assumes the titular role as he gets on with his cyber shenanigans to get back at a person who wronged him. This is a typical anti-hero film where you'll naturally root for the guy but it's the small pockets of humour and believable tech happenings that elevate the film into an enjoyable watch. Naslen is in his calm demeanour here (as last seen in Premalu) but I also like the other actors who put up a good show. Dileesh Pothan is as good as he gets but I'm starting to feel Anishma Anilkumar plays the same role in every film.

The film entitled I Am Kathalan, can be classified as a cinematic work belonging to the technical thriller drama genres. The film was directed by Girish A. D.

The film's narrative is focused on the character of Vishnu, who is depicted as an engineering student. He possesses a high level of proficiency in the field of hacking and associated areas of IT. However, he has accumulated a significant amount of arrears in his college studies. Following the completion of their respective academic qualifications, his classmates secured employment. He is still struggling to complete the degree. He is romantically involved with Shilpa, who successfully completed the course and was recruited to her father's financial company as the head of the IT department. Consequently, the relationship deteriorated, ultimately leading to its dissolution. Following the incident with Shilpa's father, he sustained a blow. Vishnu harbours a desire for retribution against Shilpa's father. He opts for a course of action that centres on technical aspects as a means of achieving retribution. Vishnu obtained the MAC address of Shilpa's father's company's cloud infrastructure and subsequently compromised the entire system. This constitutes a substantial financial setback for the Periyadan Group, the company owned by Shilpa's father. Following the implementation of enhanced security measures, Vishnu successfully infiltrated the entire system once more. The company enlisted the services of an ethical hacker to identify the individual responsible for the hacking incident. The ethical hacker collected Vishnu's profile name. However, the system was subsequently breached on a further occasion, resulting in the entire server room being destroyed by overheating due to the devices being overloaded. In order to conceal his own address, Vishnu utilised the MAC address of Shilpa's fiancée. The scenes of the climax are of great interest.

The narrative was skilfully crafted and helmed, with a visually appealing quality to the delivery. The film has been meticulously compiled, incorporating all pertinent short references and technical terms with remarkable clarity. The performances are of a commendable standard, and the musical scores are effective in their use. The film is considered to be suitable for both watching and recommendation.

Nasleen gave a wonderful performance as the workshop boy next door, and also portrayed the break up pain very convincingly.

On the other hand, Dileesh Pothan gave a very convincing performance as the local entrepreneur. The girl also gave a convincing performance as the young and confused student just getting into career and life.

A reasonable script - brings out convincingly the technical aspects with easy enough terminology. The portion where the dad says do whatever you want with this but do only good was the scene of the movie for me.

Tech is usually seen in the backdrop of heavy million dollar heist movies. This was a refreshing change in how it can play into a script as grass roots as this.

Takes the pomp out of tech. Nice watch. A Nasleen movie.
