C U Soon

#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.

Just watched it on Amazon Prime on the 'Thiruvonam' day from Denver, Colorado. Quite frankly it was so hard to switch off 'Searching' expectation. But, as the movie progressed , it got me glued to my seat and switch off that other movie's 'screenplay'. The story is very good (not perfect for the small plot holes etc) and the acting is excellent, starting of course with Fahad and others. PS: Must watch and enjoy the flow of the movie than trying to make sense of the format if you are not used to it. It is an experimental one and I am glad Malayalam movie industry jumped at it. MG

Another GEM for the malayalam industry. The amount of bravery needed to venture into this untrodden terrain of film and making it a hit is EXTREMELY COMMENDABLE. The ACTING WAS AUTHENTIC AND RAW and each character was superbly portrayed by each actor but Darshana's performance in particular was top-notch. I felt almost like a character in the script due to the unique style that the film was shot in. I would recommend everyone to watch this not only to witness the CREATIVITY and UNIQUENESS of this film but also because it imparts a good message about the BENEFITS & DANGERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA.

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.

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