C U Soon

I have created an account in IMDB just to write about this movie. It is an extra-ordinary movie siting a serious issue. This movie is a magic. I am not pointing out anyone specific here. But they just nailed it man. A must watch movie.

Don't miss it..now switching to Malayalam cinema for sure

Have only seen a few movies shot in this format - Searching, of course, and the recently released Indian web series - The Gone Game, on Voot. The expectation for this movie was huge. And it was refreshing to see Fahadh promoting this across a pan Indian audience as well (see YouTube interview videos with prominent Bollywood critics).

Coming to the movie, Fahadh completely owns the movie. It's so hard to see an actor, even though limited by this new medium, completely mesmerise you with his acting. I forgot about how the movie was shot or framed whenever he came on screen. Brilliant. The rest of the cast is okay. I was a bit let down by the movie cos I was hoping for a twist or a thriller genre. The movie has those elements, but goes down a different route in the end.

Good watch, but a tad disappointed with the ending. But, that was just due to my personal expectation from the movie. Good watch.

#Review #OnamPremiere #CUSoon #AmazonPrime #MalayalamMovie #FahadhFaasil #SpoilerFree After the magnum opus that was Take Off, Mahesh Narayanan blows it out of the park again with the spine-tingling, compelling thriller that is C U Soon. Inspired heavily from the narrative style of films like Searching and Unfriended: Dark Web, the story moves forward primarily through Google Duo video calls and Face-time as a web-security expert searches far and wide for his cousins missing girlfriend. The nuance and subtlety driven into each character by the three brilliant leads-Fahadh, Roshan Mathew and Darshana Rajendran instantly buy you into the storyline. While Fahadh as usual captivates you with his eyes, Roshan conveys the urgency and desperation of his character with elan. However, it is Darshana Rajendran who steals the show as the initially timid 'Anumol' who becomes a well-fleshed out and awe-inspiring character towards the end. The fact that this film was conceived and shot completely at home, via iPhones and tablets during lockdown just goes to prove the adage from Johnny Flora "If necessity is the Mother of Invention, than adversity must surely be the Father of Re-invention." Highly recommended.

The movie directed and edited very nicely so that it will hold you for the entire duration.Movie is very gripping and well acted.Editor has done a fabulous job. Dont miss it.
