Thalavara

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.
