Thalavara

Was so surprised with this movie especially knowing it's not running housefull. Excellent acting from everyone and overall a very well made movie with a message that should reach everyone. I am writing this in the interval and yet to watch the rest of the movie. Arjun Ashokan and the actress is spoton. Hope everybody gets to see this.

The movie Thalavara is truly amazing. I genuinely felt every moment of it... it's one of the finest films I've seen this year. Hats off to the entire team, especially Arjun Ashokan. What an actor, man! Your performance literally made me cry. I'm so sure that Malayalam cinema is safe as long as there are artists like you and movies like this. Hats off to the whole team once again, and thank you for giving us such a beautiful film.

A Must-See Cinematic Experience for Theatre Enthusiasts

For every theatre enthusiast, there are films that transcend the screen, creating an immersive and unforgettable experience. This movie is more than just a film; it is an artistic masterpiece that deserves to be watched in the grandeur of a theatre. The rich tapestry of its storytelling, the vivid cinematography, and the impeccable sound design come alive in a way that simply cannot be replicated at home.

From the very first scene, the movie captivates its audience with a compelling narrative that unfolds with precision and emotional depth. The characters are intricately developed, each bringing a unique dimension to the story. The actors deliver powerful performances, breathing life into their roles with authenticity and passion. Their expressions, gestures, and dialogues resonate deeply, making the audience feel every emotion, from joy to heartbreak.

The cinematography is a visual feast. Each frame is meticulously crafted, with attention to detail that enhances the storytelling. The play of light and shadow, the breathtaking landscapes, and the dynamic camera angles create a visual symphony that is best appreciated on the big screen. The grandeur of the theatre amplifies these visuals, allowing the audience to be completely enveloped in the cinematic world.

Sound design is another cornerstone of this film's brilliance. The acoustics of a theatre enhance the layered soundscape, from the subtle whispers to the thunderous crescendos. The background score, perfectly synchronized with the narrative, evokes emotions that linger long after the credits roll.

Moreover, watching this movie in a theatre fosters a shared experience. The collective gasps, laughter, and silence of the audience create an emotional connection that adds to the film's impact. It is a communal celebration of storytelling, art, and human experience.

In conclusion, this movie is a must-watch in the theatre. It offers an unparalleled cinematic journey that engages the senses, stirs the soul, and reaffirms the magic of cinema.

Watched the movie with zero expectations, and to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised - this is one of the best Malayalam movies I've seen in recent times.

It's a beautiful watch. Though the story is quite cliché and doesn't offer anything new, the script works remarkably well and connects emotionally throughout.

Special mention to the heroine, who delivered an exceptional performance. The chemistry between the hero and heroine was genuinely delightful to watch.

Overall, a well-made, heartfelt film that truly deserves all the appreciation and applause it's receiving.

Rating - 3.25/5

A simple feel good story highlighting the importance of change in one's dimensions and ideologies.

The plot of the story is about a guy with Vitiligo struggling to accept the reality, societal views of his disability and how he chases his passion and dream overcoming his low self esteem issues forms the crux of the story.

Akhil Anilkumar & Appu Aslam has dealt with a sensible story plot that invites change in social perspectives and has executed the story brilliantly on screen with gentle performances. The first half dealts with the setting of the story plot and it's progression while the final part addresses the emotional side of the characters. Akhil has blended family drama, friendship, brotherhood, romance and subtle humour in the story along with harsh realities of life. The filmmakers has portrayed the mental and emotional trauma from family and society undergone by the lead character through relatable incidents.

Impressive performance by Arjun Ashokan carrying the character through minor variations in performances. Kudos to the director who has explored the emotional side of Arjun perfectly in this story. Good performance by Ashokan & Devadarshini making a good pair with lighter dialogues and subtle humour. Good performances from Revathi, Sarath Sabha, Manoj Moses, Vishnu Reghu, Abhiram & Rafi.

Good Cinematography by Anurudh Aneesh & great work by Electronic Kili with the BGM's and love tracks.

A watchable movie with good performances leaving a thoughtful message.
