Appan

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....

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.

A cracker of a film that is instantly likeable. The opening scenes build up the titular character and that's just one of the superb ways the film handles itself as it weaves a story about a family in their wits' end. With an electric plot that faintly reminds one of Joji (2021), the characters come alive with proper weightage given to all of them so as to let the story narrate itself. You keep wondering why these people continue to put up with misery, but then the film answers that question indirectly. Though the film loses steam as it crescendoes, the characters stay with you longer after you have closed the SonyLiv app. Appan is a surprise hit for me this year.

This movie speaks for many whose pain are never understood specially in India with pre notion is set for parents. Luckily the main lead has loving and caring mother but for many they are not so fortunate. This movie is so intelligently made and it should be appreciated for the maker to come up with kind of subject. Parents for many can be the reason for their unhappiness and disaster, ruining some one's entire life. A child brought up in unhappy childhood and during growing up years cannot come out of it through out his / her entire life the pain always stays. Don't how many life must have been ruined by their parents themselves. No parent is perfect but deep in side they do have love and kind ness for their children but in situation like shown in the movie such cases do exists where the parents don't play any role except giving birth and feeling such cases are like rarest of rare disease which happens to one in millions. It's is very difficult for outsiders, relatives even the neighbours to understand the turmoil the child goes through because no one can come to term that parents can be so evil that they are no bothered if the kid exists and explaining such situation to others is impossible for the one who is suffering. This movie is one of the most excellent malayalam movie I must have come across though I watched in hindi as I don't understand South language. Few scenes looks comical when in fact it is tragedy happening with the family, which in reality happens too. The outsiders who witness the scenes it looks light and funny but it's life & death situation for the one who suffers.

This is one of the best malayalam movie of the year for me. I loved everything about this movie. Starting with the writing, I don't remember the last time i saw such compelling and deeply written characters. The complexities in the relationship between the characters was so refreshing to see on screen. I loved the way they wrote alanciers and sunny waynes character. The best writing was sunny waynes character. He also performances it amazingly. His relationship with his father, how he takes care of him even though his father made his life hell. He is a good son, he is a good husband, a father himself, this character was explored amazingly. Alancier is the star of the movie. It's only because of alanciers amazing performance this movie works so beautifuly. I think it's alanciers career best performance. I can go on praising the performance of all the actors in the movie. Everyone did a amazing job. I loved the realistic aproach in making, Makes the movie and the characters very relatable. The cinematography is so beautiful, the rubber fields, and the house are the only two main locations, but still the camera angle never feels repeated and keeps us engaged till the end.

A must watch according to me.
