Vaashi

Vaashi never rises above watchable, but its core premise is refreshing. While the film has a breezy first half which portrays the chemistry between the leads (Tovino & Keerthy), the second half which covers a larger portion of the courtroom drama lacks a certain dramatic intensity. The case presented is one of contemporary significance, and the performances do not disappoint. But somewhere along the way, the the writing loses its grip on the viewer. Ego clashes aren't exactly new to Malayalam cinema, and neither are courtroom dramas, but the challenge for director Vishnu Raghav was to come up with a compelling, cogent plot with sufficient texture. He succeeds to some extent and it isn't easy to pick sides here. That being said, the film's central conflict (i.e. The ego clash) is resolved rather easily while the legal tussle concludes in predictable fashion.

Vaashi is a well-made courtroom drama that's a welcome change for me from the usual masala flicks. The feature utilizes its time well and introduced the characters, especially the two leads. This film is in part a romantic drama and a courtroom drama. I have to say both sides work really well to make this film is engaging and attention grabbing. This film wouldn't have worked if the characters are underdeveloped and the actors are subpar. The characters are so rich, each with their own personalities. The two lead actors are excellent in portraying characters with flaws and contrasting ideals. It was interesting to see how their professional lives progressively affects their personal lives. The case become intense as the story moves along, to the point where they don't speak to each other, their lack of professionalism all comes down to how much they needed to win the case and prove that they are better than the other. At some point, it's not even about their clients but their ego. I like the juxtaposition of the case as to how the male character represent the female client and vice versa in such a sensitive issue. It provides a fresh perspective and they both present valid points. On the whole, a really charming film with nice script, well-drawn characters and decent performances.

It's good parallel story and could have been more interesting if they added few conflicts in the narration. Goes very plain and predictable throughout except judgement in the ending.

Acting wise, almost every one acted well and justified.

Got to watch this movie after getting it suggested in one of the FM radio channels. Storyline of the movie was simple, but yet interesting, probably screenplay could have been better to make movie fast-paced and thrilling one.

Both Tovino Thomas and Keerthi Suresh carry the entire movie on their shoulders and they both look like a real pair probably because of their acting.

This movie also brings into light the problems faced by Lawyers in early stages of their careers and how they struggle to become successful.

Plot is very familiar with malayalam industry, as husband and wife fighting for a case,which we have seen in 90 movies. Movie is not a theater type. A maximum capacity for an OTT or short film type.

Tovino and rest team acting and casting was good. Only poor acting and casting was keerthy suresh..Parvathy was better for the heroine role.
