    Lovely - A good subject that fell flat in climax portions

    Rating - 2.75/5

    A small fantasy movie infused in humour portraying a human - fly bonding.

    The story revolves around a progressively thinking young adolescent guy who accidentally lands up in jail developing a strange bonding with a fly and the exaggerated events that follows forms the crux of the movie.

    Dileesh has given life to a good idea and has blended the story with light humour which worked pretty well but has fallen flat in writing especially towards the climax sequences. CG was key to enhancing the portions were fly was a part and the total idea of visualizing the entire story in 3D didn't seem necessary.

    Mathew has given a good delivery and his combination with the fly also worked well. Good performances by Prashant Murali,Aswathy Manoharan,Joemon Jyothir,Ashlin,Manoj K Jayan,Ganga Meera & Arun Pradeep. Contributions by sound design,CG,colouring team also needs to be appreciated in enhancing the fantasy world. Soft and gentle music that blended with the story by Vishnu Vijay & Bijibal.

    Apart from the minor flaws, Lovely is a passable entertainer with situational humour.

    Cinematic masterpiece

    One of the absolute best movie ever watched in my entire life. Move over Inception, Interstellar, and literally every movie ever made. Because Lovely 2025 has arrived-like a meteor crashing into the quiet pond of Malayalam cinema, creating ripples of confusion, emotion, and mild existential dread.

    From the first second of the opening scene (a drone shot of a coconut tree for absolutely no reason), to the mind-blowing climax (which we're still trying to understand three days later), Lovely 2025 is an unforgettable cinematic rollercoaster-especially if you happen to be strapped in backwards, blindfolded, and slightly dizzy.

    A cheap copy of Naan E🤦🤦🤦

    Lovely is a unrealistic mess about a guy bonnie played by mathew who gets a bond with a fly but how can u exact copy the rajamouli greatest movie concept why can't u try something else also cook with komali shivangi voice doesn't really set lovely u can't connect with that lovely character emotionally it's irritating sometimes with shivangi voice nothing emotional beats in this movie nothing intresting go back and watch Naan E movie or something else don't waste your time and money also where climax feels flat and not convincing at all if u want to watch emotional connect movie go watch charlie777.

    Peak stuff

    Every once in a while, a film comes along that doesn't just entertain-it reshapes the cinematic landscape, leaving you altered in its wake. Lovely is one such masterpiece. It isn't merely a movie; it's an emotional, visual, and philosophical triumph-a revolutionary experience that speaks to the very soul of storytelling.

    Let's not mince words: if you've missed this film, you've missed a turning point in modern cinema. It is not hyperbole to say that Lovely deserves to be studied, revered, and rewatched until every frame is etched into memory. This is a film that doesn't just push the boundaries of creativity-it obliterates them.

    From the very first scene, it's clear that the filmmakers have approached this work not as a project, but as a passion-fueled canvas. The direction is unflinchingly bold, capturing both grandiosity and intimacy in perfect balance. Every shot is purposeful, every transition seamless. The cinematography dances with your senses-painting with light, shadows, and colors in ways that feel less like camera work and more like visual poetry.

    But it's the idea behind Lovely that elevates it to legendary status. The plot is not just original-it's revolutionary. It unravels slowly, deliberately, with layer upon layer of meaning. You don't just watch it-you experience it. It questions reality, challenges perspectives, and confronts emotions most films are too afraid to even touch. At its core, this is a story of human depth, of love and loss, of identity, purpose, and the fragility of truth.

    The performances? Nothing short of transformative. The lead actor delivers a performance so raw, so heartbreakingly authentic, that it's hard to separate the actor from the character. You feel what they feel. You ache when they ache. You cheer, you cry, and you hold your breath with them. The supporting cast? Equally phenomenal. Each character is beautifully crafted, not just serving the plot but living and breathing within it, adding richness and nuance to every scene.

    Who needs godfather when you have lovely

    Ladies and gentlemen, film lovers, and confused popcorn eaters... today... we are diving into what is possibly the most ambitious, confusing, and accidentally genius movie of the decade - Lovely 2025 The story (if we can call it that) is a genre-defying masterpiece-part romance, part thriller, part time-traveling sci-fi, part government awareness ad. Our hero, Lovely (yes, that's his name and yes, everyone says it with a straight face), is a lover, a rebel, a motivational speaker, and apparently, a part-time quantum physicist.

    He falls in love with Meenakshi, a software engineer by day, TikTok philosopher by night. Together, they fight corruption, climate change, memory loss, and an evil MLA who wants to build a shopping mall on a library. The stakes have never been this high-or this unclear.
