Appan

It feels disgusting to watch the character of Alencier , Itty... that man lived the role and created much much impact on audience I believe. Variety of rasams, probably all 9 of them expressed in this movie. Classic acting by Sunny, Alencier, and others including the kid. What a plot ! Its variety and a subtle message to the toxic patriarchy system. It tells us that in the world there are many fathers who exhibits the characteristics of Itty. Must watch for all. It has a new story, the emotions are captured well. Some shots are too good, few could have been better otherwise. This movie has everyone acting to their best.

I am speechless after watching this movie, I personally wish I never thought about this movie ever again after watching it but I know it's not possible, this movie will stay in everyone's mind for a long time. Brilliant in every single field. Every single person acted exceptionally well, I believe this movie is the career best performance of almost every single actor who acted in this movie. Career changing movie from sunny Wayne. I love how the director and scriptwriter crafted this movie, every single person watching this movie wishes for ittys death. I believe this is best movie in Malayalam in recent times, brilliant.

It's been a while to come across a Malayalam film like Appan to reassure my belief that there is a tremendous potential in character actors and given a chance they will create magic, and Appan has created one of those!

A perfect blend of great performances, amazing locations and visuals, smooth narrative, apt music is what makes Appan a special movie. I would expect state & national recognition for Pauly Valsan who gave a breathtaking performance, she handled her complex character with such ease & grace, it made me relate to her instantly. Hats off to Pauly Valsan, she has solely surpassed every other seasoned actors in this film.

This is Sunny Wayne's career best performance, and more than that I respect him for taking up the challenge to produce & promote such a different narrative. Ananya. Radhika, the kid gave a matured performance supporting the overall flow of events, and finally we have Alencier, the central character, who gave his career best as well with his extravaganza act, making us hate his character from the onset.

The filmmaker had tremendous control over the narrative, and the way he blended visuals, the characters, the music- it was very close to perfection without any distraction. The narrative takes a little dip in the second half with an unnecessary build up for the climax, but that does not take away anything of what this film contributes at large.

I would suggest and recommend every film lover to watch this film primarily for performances. Proud of Malayalam Cinema & the acting talent we have!

Highly Recommended!

Appan succeeded in making us HATE Itty! There's no way you can sympathize with this guy, to say he was evil is even an understatement😆

The film was a carefully designed script that hit all the right buttons, we were pleasantly impressed!

-By far, Appan is Sunny Wayne's best performance. He was living and breathing his role; we could see the immense agony of having Itty as a father through his eyes and body language. We believed him.

Alencier Lopez, without a doubt, was the star of the show! He succeeded in making us despise him and even wanting to kill him 😖

-Though the movie was mainly shot in Itty's house, we didn't feel a redundant vibe. The director properly used different rooms to vary the scenery, helping us get to know the residence and making us part of it too

-The screenplay went to the extreme of extremes when it came to depicting Itty's disgusting behavior. If we can even say these words: he was demonic!

Appan intentionally demonstrated how this despicable behavior affected his son's legacy and his wife's mentality. AND to witness the family's unconditional love towards Itty was a learning moment for us, very powerful

-Though Appan is about a womanizer, It's safe to watch from start to finish, thank you for a clean experience

-We were so horrified at Itty's devilish nature that we didn't pay attention to production aspects; this is good, had there been issues, we would have definitely noticed.

One of the best intriguing multilayered realistic what else .....no words can explain my feelings about this gem of Malayalam cinema....kudos sunny Wayne i didn't see you in this movie.....one of the best casting especially alanciyar and annaya you are awesome like a typical Christian wife portrayal....grace Antony and all others just made me tear ....the real they have shown are reality haven't seen any cliche on this movie. What really i want this kind of movie that portraying of negative shades that some Times misses on the bigscreen here they haven't made any saints whereas it is a intensified binge-watching experience.... it's a classy craft of director maju ...cinematography and production design , settings of location and details no words...big hugs .....pure realistic experience.... NB: film makers please don't make artificial realistic movies hence try to make this....
