Roy

With a poster like Roy's, you can only be enticed to immediately watch the movie as you wanna discover who this Roy of a guy is. Then, the thrill slowly dies down as the film regrettably fails to be fascinating😞

DELICIOUS

-Hats off to the cinematography team who produced amazing thriller-oriented visuals

-We greatly admired Roy's bravery; despite his mental condition, he didn't allow anyone to discourage him.

BLAND

-Roy's wife, according to the story, is supposed to be a bit younger than him; but Sija Rose looked more like a daughter than a wife😳

-Suraj has featured in similar thrillers like Heaven and Pathaam Valavu; the common denominator is that these screenplays have the potential of being great but don't lead to a targeted destination

-What deflated 'Roy' was the absence of engagement during the storytelling; we figured out the trajectory of the film from the beginning

-There were great actors on this set including Shine Tom Chacko and Riya Saira; yet, they failed to shine. Performance across actors was rather passive.

Who the hell makes these kind of movies Is director out of his mind or the actors are too expensive to shoot for another half an hour Why the hell you want to make a film with 0 ending Completely flop film deserves -ve ratings.

Directed by Sunil Ibrahim starring Suraj Venjaramoodu, Sija Rose, Shine Tom Chacko in lead role.

Premiered directly on Sony Liv Platform from 09th December 2022.

Plot of the Movie.

Suraj playing the titular role is abnormally normal person. He had a weird psychological issue & that issue can be handled by his wife Teena played by Sija Rose. A dream comes in Roy's life & his wife follows her husband's dream and thereafter what happens in their life forms rest part of the movie.

Analysis of the Movie.

1) A story narrated in a slow pace. It is a thriller but not the contemporary way of thriller storytelling being approached by Sunil Ibrahim.

2) Suraj undergoing a rare kind of psychiatric disorder where he knows the pain he undergoes & how society looks upon him & when on one day suddenly when his wife who is his only aid disappears, the realization of vacuum in his life had been beautifully portrayed by him.

3) Sija Rose in her minimal screen presence had done an Ok performance.

4) Shine Tom Chacko as investigative officer had done justice to his role.

5) As the title, the story travels through Roy. What Roy feels, the mystery unlocks accordingly.

6) Overall, for many it might feel bored as we might feel at this moment an element of thrill which is being observed in other movies but if we view from other side, in this way also a triller concept can be approached.

7) If we need to experience a different thriller movie, Roy will be the cup of tea.

Slow paced psychological thriller. Once you figure out the mental quagmire the protagonist is in, this movie will entertain you. Suits viewers who are more thrilled by uncanny evolving in the most familiar of circumstances rather than screaming ghosts and visible phantoms. Suraj Venjaranmod as usual did a fine job in his character. The climax could have been made better if it revealed all the villains involved in the crime spoken about. The vintage car in the movie and the house where Roy stays at completely captures the viewer imagination. Do not watch this movie with high expectations and then it might surprise you.

Director Sunil Ibrahim's movies always have great ideas. But when that is develped into a screenplay, it loses its impact. There is sometimes a rush to reach to the main point he wants to communicate. So in that rush, the scenes leading upto that are written , shot poorly and when I see that I wonder why was that even shown.

When it comes to this movie, there are lame things such as a person getting into a car and driving away shown in 4 shots!! And i wondered why ? Was that to make it 2 hours duration ( for telecasting in TV , films need to be of minimum 2 hours duration). Here Again, the idea of Roy is interesting , the character is interesting. But with that idea what the writer-director does is very average and easy forgettable.

Apt movie for an OTT and will be engaging if watched with a finger on 'skip some frames forward' button.
