Joji

This is just a general review. I won't reveal any specific details but just share some of my general insights.

This film is the perfect reason why the Malayalam Film Industry is considered far superior than Bollywood and other South Indian film industries. This film is firstly a treat to the eye. This level of film making I've seen only in Malayalam films. Yes the cinematography is breathtaking, showing the lush green landscapes of Kerala and the camerawork and all, but the acting is what stands out for me. Fahad Fazil, like what can be said that hasn't already been said about this guy? This guy is a joy to look at. His voice, mannerisms, the way he conveys with his eyes, feels so natural. The guy's a born performer. I'm a fan of his and think he's the best actor I've seen to date in India. He's god damn Brilliant. And so are the other actors. They all are so natural and so amazing. The casting is simply perfect.

These guys take care of the technical aspects so well, the end result being a spectacular, technically perfect film. Mallus imo have surely mastered the art of film making.

Another thing I appreciate is that there are no unnecessary songs or stuff like that or even Product Placements that can ruin the fun for people like me and make a film hard to be taken seriously. Except for the Jeep lol. But it was quite subtle. The BGM is tense and adds gravitas to the scenes. Splendid job, Joji team. Loved it.

What a movie. Pothettan outsmarted himself. I can't convey how good this movie is in words. You should just experience it.

Speaking of the director's previous movies - Maheshinte Prathikaaram and Thondimuthal were classes apart.

The problem with Joji is there is an element of predictability lingering in the air, right from the start till the very end.

Characters have no great depth, all we know about Joji is he is frustrated with his life, but to what level and due to what reason is not clearly conveyed. Same goes with his accomplice Bincy.

Acting performances are good.

Movie has a steady pace and it does not drag.

Background score could have been scores better, all one remembers of the background music is that eerie western classical playing all the time, offering nothing fresh.

Overall an ok-ok watch !

1. Director dileesh framed the artists into arts.

2. BGM is the 'catalyst' for this unique drama.

3. Every frame of this movie is a masterpiece.

4. Fahadh Faasil's extraordinary action🎭. Take a bow

Incomparable performances. An intense and rough storyline would maintain you to sit on the edges. Probably, this movie will be bestowed in different categories on national and international platforms.

My rating is 9/10.

The total film is developing around a single family. A rich family. The plot is great. The story line is narrow and pitch perfect. All the actors does the great work. The screenplay is done well too. The main attraction of the film is the cinematography,art, and the background score. They given a great treatment with the bg score towards the scenes. Some the top angle shots are amazing. The climax is gives morality to the bad things is much notable. A different story yet again in malayalam cinema. Worth every minute.
