Amazing cinematography and bgm... realistic characters but with a fairy tale touch... what a brilliant director LK is! My second favorite director after LJP in malayalam cinema!!! Very artistic move! So times we are confused with the story and think what this director is trying to say but if we understand that is the way director is trying to portrait the characters like in a fairy tale and it is very artistic! Dont watch the movie expecting like a typical old generation movies but this one is director's brilliance and we need to watch from his angle. Then we can really enjoy the art in the film.

This was a good political movie. The movie effectively tries to show how politicians interfere in our life if we don't intrrfere in politics. The technical department does a amazing job. The set design done in this movie is marvelous. The place they show as nivin paulys house, goes through a lot of changes in this movie. The major conflicts starts and ends in nivin paulys house. The way they show the changes of the house was so good and convincing. So a huge shoutout to all thoes who did the set design. The cinematography is superb. The landscapes, the crowd all was nicely shot. The geography itself becomes a very important character. Nivin pauly, shammi thilagan, remya suresh all give a nice performance. As a debut director, judging from this movie, I have a lot of hope in liju krishna. I am really looking forward to his next project.

The issue with the movie is some parts of it's writing. Especially the second half, the movie takes a lot of time to establish nivin paulys characters arc and that felt a lot distracting from the main plot and both the plots don't feel blended organically. I feel it would have been nice if they would have explored more on how the political parties take advantage on poor farmers and exploit the nature. That would have made the climax much more satisfactory. They take their time with the setup. Could have reduced that. Aditi balan was so underused, feels bad to see such talented actress barely doing anything.

An intense drama, the theme is a great eye-opener for common people with rooted story telling ! Hat's off to Liju Krishna (not considering the legal battle in his personal life) and Mind Blowing BGM from Govind Vasantha

1. Why Nivin Pauly isn't recognised at a pan Indian level ?

2. Topics covered in my mind (High-speed survey stone, twenty-twenty, quarry mafia, tree-felling scam, corporate supporting political leaders, youth of our country, Kannur political rivalry, Religion/culture/ Development based fake politics, Wild life encroachment, Farmers of our country, Land and Ecosystem based politics and Lack of backing for atheletics/sports in our state) while watching this movie.

The story was not bad but the screenplay dragged each scene with unnecessary shots that it became impossible to even pretend to like the film... Too much slowmo in the last fight, in fact the whole fight was in slow-motion. Story writing style was pretty old where things were being explained on atom level, c'mon, we are living in net age. People understand things faster than the speed of light.

However I liked the casting. Shine could've been used better or a bit more of his involvement would have been great.

Overall an average flick... People who watch movies based on the lead actor in the film would like it a lot 'cause Nivin has done a great job.

The feeling of watching a good movie after many days.

Good story and good screenplay. Director liju krishna succeeded in conveying the facts without distorting the film as it is a film discussing politics.

Nivin Pauly is very happy to have chosen a different role after a long time. No doubt this character will always be the talk of the town.

Mother and son love felt very emotional in a single moment. The love scenes were also very good.

Sunnywayne,shine tom chacko also handled their roles well.

There is no doubt that the other actors handled their roles beautifully.

Govind vasantha had done his background score well and the song had a good feel.

Although there are some new characters in the film, it is certain that some will not be forgotten so soon.

My country is my soil.
