Bougainvillea

The movie for me was filled with a lot of expectations when the first half ended but the second half was predictable and it made movie boring and not mysterious film. I felt Fahad Fazil as an actor was wasted in the movie because he could have conveyed better emotions and been a better policeman. Two actors I liked were Jyothirmayi and Kunchako who did their roles well even through the movies story was pretty predictable. The bgm and songs by Sushin Shyam were the third saving grace in the movie and I personally think that he should move to other industries as he can be an asset to Indian film especially the pop and new generation songs.

Overall, a one time watchable film with wasted Fahad.

Bougainvillea is a beautifully crafted film that captures the subtleties of human emotions with finesse. The story revolves around complex relationships, personal growth, and the challenges people face in their everyday lives.

Overall, Bougainvillea is a memorable cinematic experience that blends visual beauty with emotional storytelling. It is a film that resonates with viewers who appreciate character-driven narratives and thoughtful drama. With a rating of 7, it stands out as a solid and enjoyable watch.

The movie was clearly inspired by *Before I Go to Sleep*, which was itself an average thriller. Unfortunately, this remake doesn't improve upon the original and is riddled with plot holes that make the story less believable. While the acting is commendable, with the cast delivering strong performances, the screenplay lacks depth and coherence. The music and cinematography are well-executed, creating a tense atmosphere, but they are not enough to save the weak narrative. The pacing feels uneven, and the lack of logical consistency prevents the film from being truly gripping. Overall, a style over substance movie.

Bunch of Talented actors and still had to drag to finish.

Dont get me wrong. It was okay but being a thriller which had so much potential it lacked the omphs which usual thriller of this sort have.

All actors were like under performing of their usual calibre. Felt like FAFA too.

Disappearance of girls were the highlight and investigation rolled out, we were moving along the story. The story should have paced up a bit in my opinion then only we could feel the thrill it was meant to be.

The main twist was fed to us just like that which no extra drama that it deserved. All for what? Somethings is missing. Anyways one time watch.

A pulpy mystery thriller with the typical Amal Neerad visual flair, nothing more, nothing less. Excluding the finer details, most of it was predictable but still engaging enough. The cast did well but didn't feel anyone did anything extraordinary. Can't believe Fahadh is doing such an insignificant cop role. The climax could've been choreographed better for more impact. The three-against-one scene could've been utilized better. With Amal Neerad's style, the film's problem is that it's neither grounded nor really stylish enough. A lot of the twists and turns ended up very flat. The flashback portions didn't feel really convincing. I expected a bit more than that, so I ended up feeling underwhelming. Still, the whole thing is stylish and atmospheric enough to be an okay watch.
