Writer

Writer , written and directed by debutant Franklin Jacob. The story revolves around two police men of Tamil Nadu police and a victim, and also deals with the politics and caste issues in the Police Department. It's a well scripted story with realistic moments and melodramatic flavours of a commercial cinema .

A hard hitting , socio-political drama . Story was engaging and very well written . In tamil cinema there were some cop praising movies and also some movies based on cop brutality , but this movie shows how lower level cops are controlled by corrupted higher level cops . What happens if a cop trying to be righteous ? This movie spotlights the current reality . Performance wise all gave their best , especially Samuthirakani was awesome . Neelam production has a template , there contents are mostly against casteist , in this also they spoke against casteist in police. Technically movie has everything . Music and songs were good . There were one unnecessary song in first half . Felt like 3rd act was bit forced . Overall a disturbing movie . A must watch movie .

( Movie also speaks about importance of Police union )

Director make clear and clean to say very content in this film, and also artist Mr. Samuthurakani sir no need to say how he was acting, in single word i want to say Perfection.

Then entire team support very well to give a good movie to people.

This is my take on the "Writer" movie by Franklin Jacob. Usually, the possibility of watching back-to-back good movies is close to 0. But the past 5 films I had watched in theaters were either good, average, or best and it's good my money hasn't been wasted. Now coming to this movie, it's a neatly made one. Some scenes were hard-hitting and too emotional for me to handle. The story reveals itself in a slow manner in the second half of the movie. It's a movie about a "police writer" who was nearing his retirement where a particular duty made a turn of events around him. Loved every character in the movie, especially I loved the Xavier character what an act he showed on the screen is needed to be appreciated. Samuthirakani has avoided his usual messiah-type character and shows the grief and guilt when and wherever it's needed. Madras Johny was ok. Ineya's role was like a little bit of cameo but a well-written character. The film is filled with a lot of powerful dialogs (Unga aalungala ambailaya ye kuthirai la era vida maten pottachi ni thimiru eduthu eruviya ) and a Father's dialog "You are the first person to get an education from the low community, I can't say this will get into the higher community but you will definitely be in higher position" translating doesn't give the feel it had in Tamil ( Keela theru la irunthu muthal ala padika poirka da mela theruku vanthrviya nu enaku theriyathu da ana kandipa mela vanthrve). Govind Vasantha's music gives the proper feel throughout the movie.

If you liked the movie lookup a bit older Malayalam movie Thalappavu , which is based on real life story. This movie is not the same , but must have been influenced by the same original real life story of nexal Varghese and constable Ramachandran Nair.

After Jaibhim, nayattu and visaaranai this is another hard hitting film about cops brutality. While the story thread may feel less original if you have watched above movies , the making of it still worth it watching.
