Vaashi

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.

Ebin(Tovino) and Madhavi(Keerthy) are two aspiring lawyers and are in love with each other. Ebin is from a rich and influential Christian family and madhavi is from a middle class hindu family with only her mother. Ebin, with the influence of his brother in law Jose(Rony) is appointed as a public prosecutor. Ebin is first assigned a case of a girl anusha by her father who files a case against her colleague gautham for having sex with her with the promise of marrying her and later cheating her. Its madhavi who appears for gautham since they are childhood friends. For ebin, its his first case as public prosecutor and a prestige issue. On the other hand for madhavi its her family friend. Hence both can't withdraw from this case. On top of that, due to family pressure both have to get married while this case is going on. How this case take a toll on their married life and whether they can live happily keeping their professional differences aside is the rest of the movie.

Vaashi has an interesting plot backed by decent performances from tovino and keerthy. But it suffers from extremely mediocre direction and production values. Script tries to be on a safe zone and the courtroom is not hardhitting.

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.

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.

Great parallel storylines. However the story progression could have been written to be more interesting.

Very good performance by Tovino. Keerthy Suresh could have done more justice to her character which looked a little forced and juvenile at times.

The movie however captures very peculiar topics of marriage, romance, feminism and orthodox mindset of women in the society.
