Cicada

Karma payback is the theme. The visuals, cinematography - the DOP's work , the Director+ Editor's work - transitions across timelines are excellent. Really liked the flow of the story : the entry into the jungle , the introduction and encounter with Koothan, the switch back-and-forth between the past and the present, adding more elements of the jungle played out well. The songs in the malayalam version are very hummable. Searching on YouTube revealed this movie has composed songs in all 4 South Indian languages and beautiful tunes. Look for Cicada movie songs on YouTube , if you are interested, loved most of the songs

A little more detailing of the characters, some more back-story and unfolding story would have made it sharper.

The movie was really a different experience and it was successful in taking us through the wilderness and natural sceneries which were beautifully shot. From the start , it kept the audience waiting in suspense and the overall journey was interesting. The background scores were very well crafted and songs were too good and enjoyable. Gayathri Mayura has showcased great talent as a lead female artist and is indeed a promising professional to watch out for in the future. In general, almost all actors made a great show and it is certainly a thriller which entertained throughout. Nice movie!!

All the best to the Team!!!

Cicada was such a fresh experience. Apart from the visual manifestation of human emotiona and nature , the plot was really good and out of box. The narration which was so much in sync with the visuals and BGM added to the output. Its definitely worth watching for all the experimental movie lovers. Definitely a yes for me. Try to watch it in theatre with a proper sound system.

Kudos to the entire team to do an effort like this. In short ,movies like this contributes a lot to the courage of upcoming artists to try something brave like this. Smooth narration , neat BGM and tight script. Congrats for the whole team.

Quite a story, quite a thriller .the scenes of the forest, the hills , the music and the picturization is top class. While the story takes some time to be conveyed it's a must watch. Thrill, action,drama , cicada has it all.the theory behind karma being the god of all is so true and the movie is able to portray the work of fate by nature beautifully.

The leads were amazing but the performances by those who inhabited the jungle was the best and a fun watch.

A solid start for the team and evryone behind the making of the film The music is the most enjoyable part and experiencing it in the theater is a must.
