Well isn’t this something ๐ฒ!
There was a “Thanks to Robert Zemeckis (Contact)” in the opening credits.
Anwar Rasheed’s 3 years in the making.
1 year of waiting, excluded everything except the first song that released, such hopes๐.
Now coming to the movie, First half:-
This deals with a whole new story in Indian films . Well, atleast I’ve not seen any movie before, dare to take on this subject and present it with all its content full-on. He ain’t backing up a bit. The first half of this is such a miracle, I was awestruck in many scenes๐ who we talking about it’s Amal Neerad, the visual treat is just Great and Ajayan Chalissery with amazing production designs kudos to them all.
Second half:-
The thing about this was it lacks the energy that first half had, that’s the problem with delivering a mind-blowing first half you gotta live up to it. Don’t take me wrong it’s good, not bad. Anwar Rasheed decided to take it this way, it’s his decision, maybe I wanted the story to go another way. Needed more of the first half stuff, cause it was damn great. Fahad Fasil was just living it, this man is on another level when it comes to acting giving it 10/10 on everything, fuck even Nazriya’s intro was just lit๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
I loved the situational BGMs, it was a wonder๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
All the songs, uff.
P.S I’m saying all of this maybe because I waited a year for this movie, I’m slightly disappointed. This could have been much more as a whole if it didn’t take a turn๐ถ๐พโโ๏ธ๐ถ๐พโโ๏ธ
Theatre-watch for sure for the sound mixing and Visuals.ย
Verdict: 4/7 stars
Good.
