Started watching Hanuman in OTT after hearing lot of rave reviews online. This being a sleeper hit, had raised lot of expectations in the anticipation of seeing something new. However overall disappointed with the way this entire movie has been hyped.

CGI effects were average to good but what was the biggest disappointment was absence of solid story line which merely became a usual good vs bad super hero movie which you would have watched 1000 times. Performances were over the top and entire action sequences are just forgettable.

Even the main villain lacked the evil character.

Production value however was good and background music was loud.

This movie will be highly appreciated by kids as it's a clean family movie. So if you want to enjoy this one with your family, lower your expectations as this will be appreciated by your kids and by sr citizens . However dont expect too much from the story.

There are some great mystery & thriller movies coming up from malyalam industry I'm last few years , and started watching this movie in similar anticipation of a good thriller, but what a letdown this movie was. Easily passable despite having some good actors. This movie has many flaws , but biggest was disjointed screenplay and editing. The backstory was only saving grace but that also was concluded without proper justification. Movie fails to deliver in other department as well. Overall , this movie is below average and even such good actors could not save lackluster story and screenplay. Only watch if you have lot of spare time and money.

Dhootha started out well, the first episode is well directed and interesting & immediately finds you extending it the rest of the episodes. But here is the problem, the rest of the episodes have been overly stretched. Some of the instances have been repeated, sub plots were not required. And in the middle, it becomes a too tedious watch.

However there are some good part of the series that makes you hooked till last act.

Good acting by most of the actors, Naga did pretty well job of a journalist. Parvathy did fair job of crime investigating officer but some of her investigation were too convenient. Prachi desai is wasted, we could have seen much from her.

Backstory was interesting which comes in episode 6. However overall premise was very similar to the directors previous work - 13B Overall, this could have been a 2.5 hours of a movie instead of 8 long episode. However , this series is good to be watched and binged over weekend.
