This is one of the many psychological movies which make you think. The title itself is enough to give you those spooky chills. It stays with you long after you finish watching it. The concept of Doppelganger is quite intriguing. Acting is top class and the twists and turns take you on a roller coaster ride. And what can I say about the climax!

Nivin Pauly's back-story could have been a little better. And there are some scenes which are not quite believable. But these things do little damage to this gem.

The only thing that this movie lacks is good songs although the background score is very captivating and up to the point. I struggle to find negative points here. :-)

Watch this movie, you'll not regret it.

The subject of doppelgänger is a thing of ultimate inquisitiveness. The state of being present in two places at the same time is a horrifying idea & to make a film on it takes real courage. The makers already get a thumbs up for that!

With a brilliant cast, it talks about three lead characters, of which two form a couple. Nivin Pauly is mysterious & charming in his role, whereas Indrajith is rumply. Remya Nambeeshan continues to awe.

The music will keep you hooked, and so will the songs - with a little pinch of thrills, amazement & enigma. The chances of predicting what the climax might be is very low as the writers take enough precautions not to give away any points at that. But unlike the recently released "Memories," the makers have actually hinted it. The first half is used to decorate the characters and set a story for the viewers to follow. Second half is where the mystery begins to unravel.

What was turning out to be a fun-filled watch full of suspense goes haywire once the climax is attributed. The cold way of telling the conclusion just negates the whole point. Apart from that, a brilliant movie.

BOTTOM LINE: Recommended for its theme and performances. A very good experience.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Violence/Gore/Sex: No

It's good.. But acting and Cinematography are mediocre.. Anyway unique plot and gripping thriller

I don't wish to waste my time reviewing about movies that doesn't make any sense.

However this movie is Probably a stolen story and adding some mythical touch, Shaky camera work that makes you feel nauseated. Everybody can't beat remarkable filmmakers unless you are really Talented with both story and direction, both was very pathetic.

I can't say enough about that awful camerawork that remembles taking a vertical mobile phone video. The slow and merciless pace of the movie makes you leave your seats if anyone watched it on a movie theater.

The story is stolen definitely. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because someone attempted the idea on Malayalam, and nothing more. Consider watching any thriller Hollywood movie after watching this just to get the bad taste it leaves on your mind.
