Innale Vare

Jis Joy has attempted a dark-genre flick for the first time and despite his prowess, can't save the film from being a mess in the end. With his usual hero Asif Ali in the lead, Jis also collaborates freshly with Nimisha Sajayan and Antony Varghese, two of the most promising youth actors in Mollywood. All of the actor performances in the film are commendable but what falters is the screenplay. The film that lacks songs has a thrilling soundtrack by 4Musics and suitable cinematography by Bahul Ramesh. While the first half proved to be an edge-of-the-seat experience, the second half seemed needlessly drawn and makes you wonder how it will end. A surprise (intended) reveal in the climax didn't help either. This is also a film where you find politically incorrect behaviour from all the leads (irrespective of gender) so it is, basically, a fight between "evil and evil" (similar to what the protagonist in Lucifer (2019) labels in a scene).
