Love

A minimalist, lockdown effort from Khalid Rahman, Love looks at marital discord through multiple layers and lenses. The film is neatly shot and edited (with a run-time of 85 minutes) and includes a couple of memorable performances from Gokulan and Sudhi Koppa (you might wonder why these names, if you haven't watched it). While it's unfair to divulge details regarding the plot, it makes sense to know that you're in for a psychological thriller sprinkled with occasional dark humour. I liked Khalid Rahman's approach of delving deeper into a person's mind before, during, and after they make unfavourable decisions. More than giving you a better perspective, it subtly fights social conditioning. There's also a winning scene featuring director Johny Antony which entirely works given its context, and an intriguing final stretch (where Rajisha is in top form) that leaves you astounded.

I did not expect much from this, but I have to admit I was proven wrong. Every scene kept my attention, and though the ending is too ambiguous to hold any real meaning, I'm still glad I went ahead and watched the whole thing.

You will, in all probability, develop an interest towards this course of study called Love. Like any course, at the beginning, it demands patience and at times, you may have to grind through the puzzling basics to fully comprehend the staggering depth of the subject and the immense satisfaction that it bestows upon completion. Kudos to Khalid Rahman for racking his brain and delivering a delightful experience!

Wonderfully scripted. It keeps you on the edge and uncomfortable throughout. All the elements that you feel as inconsistent plot holes are washed away by the twist in the pre-climax. The final twist adds to the entertainment value but doesn't contribute much to the plot. You will be forced to play back the whole movie in your mind to cross check plot inconsistencies and you won't find any (at least not any significant ones).

The normalization of domestic violence, alcoholism (and induced altered states of mind), adultery etc. are all quite disturbing and makes this movie unfit for seekers of mild entertainment. It is a heavy movie and doesn't leave you with a "pleasant" feeling. It's only for those who like to obsess over storylines and plots.

The performances are good by most standards but I feel the movie would have been a better one if we had a more capable cast.Overall, it's a great movie for those who enjoy tight well written scripts.
