    Kathaye kurichonnum adhikam parayanda aavashyamillathathu kondu neere 'criticisms' thilekku kadakkam

    Aadhyam thanne negatives (-)

    • Chila scenes kurachu disjointed aanu. Film nalla tension buildup cheyythu vekkum, ennittu varunna scene goes on for a little too long and the tautness is lost. Better editing would have elavated this film so much.
    • Excessive slow motion. Second halfile mikka mass scenesilum slow motion employ cheythittundu. A little unwanted aayittanu enikku thonniyathu. Ee scenesokke real time aayirunnekil ithilum mass aayenne. Overuse kaaranam slow motion apt aayitulla sthalangalil oru effect undakkan kazhinjilla.
    • Needed more scenes with the family before the incident. Kurachu scenes with the family all together before the incident could've helped the audience bond with them more. And Snehakku cheyyan onnum thanne illa.
    • Method of finding the suspect: SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS EXIF metadata upayogikkichu culpritinte hideout kandu pidikkunnathu oru cop out aayittanu thonniyathu. Ithrayum brillaint aaya oru criminal athokke wipe cheythatte aa photos journalistinu kodukku. SPOILERS SPOILER SPOILERS

    Appo ini postivesilekku kadakkam (+)
    • Emotionally brilliant performances from Mammootty and Anikha. Randu perum malsarichu thanne cheythu, throughout. David after discovering Sara, his anguish, anger and helplessness (aa scenile voice modulation ); Anikha at the counselling session, her horror, her desire to alleviate her parents grief and her inability to do that. These are the standout scenes in the first half. Even without many scenes together in the second half, the father daughter connection is still evident because of the acting.
    • Cool cat Arya and vengeful Mammootty. Andrews Aryade careerile one of the best performances aavum. Pulli sherikkum kalakki. Looks, attitude ellam. Pinne dub cheythavanum kollam. Original sound ithra impact undakkilla. Mammoottyumyulla combination scenesokke kollam
    • Dialogues. Chila dialogues okke super annu. 'Ente molkku avalde pappa undu', 'King David', Mia's dialogue etc.
    • Music and BGMs. Ko Ko Kozhi song waste aayirunnu. Pakshe Kai Veeshi song and BGM okke nalla apt aayi use cheythittundu and evoked good feels. And then Mammootty's and Arya's BGM also kollam. Over use cheythilla.
    • Societally relevant issue. Mia's dialogue sherikkum ishtapettu, 'Sahathapam, pucham, avaganana', 'Enthu nashtapettu enna, nonsense', Mammotty's dialogue 'Pennayal entha kuzhappam?' (little ironic considering his dialogues in the King ), David's disdain for the media and society at large, the parents attitude on recovery from rape and sexual trauma, ithokke valare relevant aanu. The stigma associated with rape victims mattan inganathe kurachu messages valare athyavashyamanu and it is commendable.


    Mele ezhuthiyathu kooti vayichal 5 positives and 4 negatives ennanenkilum ithrayum negatives ezhuthiyathu is because the potential in this movie was evident and those things will stop the movie from getting universal acceptance. Oru 5/5 movie kulla ella ingredients undu ithil, pakshe aa paka pizhavukal brings the movie down, a little bit of a missed oppurtunity. But this new director is here to stay, he knows his craft and delivered a pretty good watchable movie with a very relevant message.

    It's not the fun, family outing kind of movie but the relevance the subject has and some of the performance means it deserves a watch with your family.
