Pathaam Valavu

Saw it few days ago on OTT. Iam not gonna get into the details of the movie even though there isn't much to spoil

Movie deals with current socio-political issues and how justice is not always served to a common man. Despite dealing with such hot topic, the movie is really bland without any flavors. Its predictable and uninspiring even with the twist.

It started good and I was waiting for it to pick-up the plot and move on. But it didn't happen. It was on the same 'bland' path till the end and I was bored when the twist hit. There was lots of emotion going on in many scenes but none felt convincing enough for the twist and it felt too forced.

We are recently experiencing an explosion of these uninspiring murder mystery/ investigation movies. This is just one of them.

A decent thriller flick with a not so complicated story . We have seen the story before but the making is good. Soundtrack of the movie is well executed and makes the movie better. Good performances from the leads also makes the movie a one time watch worthy.

Patham Valav revolves around Suraj Venjaramoodu's character Solomon,who is a convict out on parole. After he doesn't return even after his parole term has ended, a police team is sent to bring him back. The cops are led by sub inspector M Sethunath (Indrajith Sukumaran), who has to reach the hospital for his wife's delivery but is given this last-minute assignment. Rest of the characters handled by Aditi Ravi, Swasika, Sudheer Karmana, Major Ravi, Nisthar Ahmed and Ajmal Ameer.

The movie making and cast is ultimate, other than that nothing appreciable thing in this movie. The movie is HIGHLY predictable from the beginning to end. The flashback also not connecting and ended up another simple revenge drama. The location and camera work was really good, but spoiled by the uninteresting screenplay.

There are good amount of emotions and sentiments, but presented in the same old way which we had seen thousand times in other movies. Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

--just to fill 600 characters repeated below Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

Directed by M. Padma kumar, Story starts with Indrajith being an efficient police officer, his wife is about to give birth. He goes to tackle the case of a missing guy in parole before taking leave. The guy is Suraj and he's on a mission, of vengeance against the people who destroyed his beautiful small happy family. The suspense was fantastic. Absolutely loved it. The justice has to come from a daughter's father. The acting, by everyone, is amazing. Suraj Venjaramoodu is just at a different level. We are blessed to have an actor like that in our language. Absolutely phenomenal. Overall great movie.
