Always a diehard fan of masaan❤

Movie gave an 'okay' experience to me. I liked the making quality and performances. Camera work is also appreciable. But my doubt is that whether the movie could completely convey what it was meant to be. Is Saying every issue in a single sentence and merely touching the surface of every societal issues and just shouting with maas dialogues enough to have an impact on the socital status? And I'm so irritated that, I felt they have covered some aspects. When they show discriminations happening around, they are having an interest to categorize it as a classism.but actually it is casteism. It is the evil responsible for every single discrimination going on around us today. The discrimination on financial ups and downs actually arises from the caste based thoughts in people. Many times I could feel this was not clearly spoken. And when they talk about color based discrimination in primary textbooks, they have shown a light skinned hero and a dark skinned villain. When they convey that the politician was trying to play with the emosions of the public, the film does the same thing with audience. They are trying just to make the audience thrilled with super class dialogues and many times were forgetting the motive . I felt it very obvious in the court scenes. They were such dramatic ones portraying everyone including the judge watching a lawyer conducting his lengthy speech with nothing to say infront of him. The movie could have been better if they have shown some more responsibility. While handling such a topic, it is to be made sure that the motive is held close to the heart throughout. At many instances I felt, was the movie just shrinking to its commercial shell. Anyway movie was engaging. But fact is, it could have been better in its way of conveying the theme.

What a movie! From the beginning to end, I couldn't take my eyes off. Its has got such a strong and important plot to convey and I think that the film makers have shown justice to it to a great extend. The movie begins and ends in the theatre performance of kuttappan who eventually evolve as one of the strongest characters in the movie. The reference they have given to the story line of the film through the dramatical act of the mythological story involving 'pareekshith' and 'Thakashakan' was the most important aspect that excited me in it. When the worm eventually becomes the snake it causes the death of the representative of the evil. The character of Amir develops in such a way as that of a worm with revenge, in the main plot. Mammookka in his negative shade gave such a marvellous experience throughout. He actually broke the standards in fact he himself has created through bhaaskara patelar, raghavan etc..with this. When he feels the pain in his neck which has a back story of a gun shot he faced,we feel the same uneasiness. His perfomance is the main attraction of the movie. And I have a huge respect for Appunni sasi who doesn't act the role but lives in it. The socially relevent dialogues he delivers turns out as a slap on the most suffocating and arrogant face of the society. His performance with such easiness proves he was irreplaceable in the project. And when coming to Parvathy, in single watch we may feel she has nothing much to do in it, but when diving deep we realize that she has handled the character with such care that it progresses as a mild character but conveys the intensity. In this way every character has done their part very well. And I admire her, Ratheena... Because she has gifted a gem in her debut. In total it was a great experience to me watching the movie. The space gap they have given in each shot aren't voids but the open spaces given to the audience for their thoughts to be planted. It may be felt as a lag atleast for some. But my opinion is that the slow pace was very much necessary for the leach down of the story into the horizon of our hearts. The movie gifts so many magical moments.. When kuttappan with bharathi walks in between a group of so called 'elite class' from her home, when the fear of death strings kuttan like a snake, when in the end the worm remains by throwing away the evil.. So much to say... And the major thing the audience would have moved by may be the toxic parenting treatment given to kichu. The suffocation he might have experienced without even being able to laugh or cry loud is touching. The truth is that such a parenting exists even now in our society. Thus the movie gives reference to many issues like racism, casteism, toxicity in bringing up children, etc... But the thing I felt that to the end, the story climax with the back story narration by Amir was somewhat having cliche elements and was quite predictable. In total the movie was such a nice one and would have been even more better if the topics were some more deeply talked to intensify it!!!
