Rendagam

It's kind of an experimental movie in Malayalam industry. Similar to old big budget Bollywood and Tamil movies with lots of style elements at the climax. Also the unique way of story telling, which released the 2nd part of the movie first instead of the 1st part.

Everyone in this movie given justice to there roles. Especially Arvind Saamy. The director made a fine decision in selecting the casts of this movie. Instead of Arvind Saamy if he casted some other usual malayalm Heroes then this movie will not catch the eyes of many.

Anyways it's a fairly good entertainer which leaves a build up similar to KGF and other recently made Telugu movies, waiting for Chapter 1 & 3.

Sorry to mention this movie as a making failure. Clearly not understand why Fellini TP hasn't made an effort to bring any good to this movie. The story line had great chance of a road movie and failed to include the intensity. Dialogues seems bit odd in every scene. Didn't know if it was done deliberately. Thought they were in a rush to release the film and complete the post production within no time. To be honest, the thread of the story is a good one. But poorly fell short in making. They should've concentrated little bit more in the main department. Music and BGM is okay. Not so bad. But man, how can they carelessly make such a movie. In simple words, Fellini failed to make the most out of a good opportunity. If they can take enough time and do the post production works well, I hope chapter 1 and 3 might be a big success. Totally Disappointed with this one.

The movie has a very good story that has set platforms for a prequel and sequel as the makers intended but is not made well .. It has a very interesting turn of events that could make the movie one of the top notch but average making and acting has made it difficult to stay in focus..

Kunchako Boban and Aravind Swamy made strong performances recently but here they go back to their old average actors.. They failed to establish the development of characters which was the backbone of the movie..

Action sequences also not taken well.. kunchako boban and aravind swamy done maybe just okay but eesha rebba was very bad with the gun that viewers gets difficult to swallow..

But overall made a feeling that there is a good prequel and sequel waiting in this series...

The suspense in the story line did manage to keep the movie engaging throughout although it is a very simple plot. The phenomenal seasoned lead actors definitely helped keep the movie entertaining. The action sequences were quite good to be honest, although advice from a weapons expert could've made gun fights a little more realistic, I mean no one shoots sideways and aiming and stabilizing a gun before firing is missing in some scenes(Also,a John Woo fan so I wouldn't even mention anything about the two handed gun fights :P). VFX could've had a slight improvement when it came to gunshot wounds, but compared to disappointments in big budget features for VFX this year, this one's much more forgivable. Was nice to see Jackie on screen in a Malayalam feature, but I really wished he gave his own voice, I mean half the mans persona is his amazing voice. Overall a fun watch.

I don't know why the movie recieved less appreciation, the movie was so damn good the director really earned a gold star from action thriller fans . The action sequences are good with over the edge suspense and turn of events.

The director took a different path to portray the chapter 2 rather than showing us what really happened in the previous chapter . I guess the newbies were really pissed at this as they were not able to think from the director's point of view.

That being said the perfect choice of cast made it much more entertaining and pleasing. It's been a long time since I've watched a good Malayalam action thriller , and ottu really satisfied me . Once more Malayalam industry just proved its worth.

PS: I pity those who were unable to understand the movie.
