Operation Java

There is never a dull moment in this movie, except for maybe that one song sequence. This manages to make us feel convinced that this is how cyber police in Kerala works. We don't feel like any tech stuff they show is out of place. That is all one needs to ask from such a movie. When most movies show tech stuff in an incorrect way, this is breath of fresh air. It feels grounded in reality.

At times it resembled Action Hero Biju. They have stitched together the investigation of several unrelated cyber crime cases in a seamless manner. It's told through the eyes of the two heroes. The story progresses through their viewpoint.

The script doesn't lag anywhere. The comic relief we get is not at all forced and feels very organic.

The acting is very good. There is no one who did their part in a bad way.

The art, costumes, editing departments too did a commendable job.

The only problem I found was that there was a bit too much of melodrama in it. The heroes always seem like they are not at all happy about what they got.

If you want to watch an entertaining film which doesn't have any dull moment in it, go for this.

Operation Java is one of the best Thriller movie recently seen in Malayalam, we all liked the movie a lot & Prasanth Achacha your acting was superb no words for it. the entire team of operation Java done superbly. Proud of you Prasanth Achacha. You are a Gem of Mallappally. From the day you told me about this movie in that old marriage function we were waiting, so much satisfied after watching a movie. It's showing about temporary workers struggles & gives a good awareness against cybercrimes.

"Operation Java" shows us the routine mode of operation of Kerala cybercell through the eyes of 2 newly joined technical assistants.

This film itself is based on true crime investigations conducted by cybercell.

Debutant writer- director Tharun Moorthy did a fantastic job in keeping viewers engaged with fast paced screenplay and interesting plot points.

Jakes Bejoy adds to the momentum of film with his apt music scores that.

Film ends with a promise of a continuation.

Inspired from cases that were reported under the Cyber Cell department throughout the country, Operation Java opens several investigation files, fictionizes it, and takes us through these cases from the point of view of Antony and Dasan. Striving to make a living through casual jobs, Antony and Dasan dream of making it big someday, but they just don't make it to the shore. To the duo, clinging on to the 'lead' they had found in an interesting case is their only "escape from reality". The Director focuses on two issues here; cyber-crime and unemployment and brings about an equal balance in both core elements. While the subjects of cyber-crimes reveal how frightening and cunning certain Humans can be, the light that falls on Antony and Dasan and their lives make you empathetic and feel pity for them. I felt the first act of the screenplay to be the most interesting and entertaining, whereas better casting and a proper ending would've uplifted 'Operation Angel'. Also, with most of the shots being single takes, as an audience, you feel as if you are one among the group of officers, which is a huge plus point in keeping the audience engaged, and to add to this engagement, there is beaty music from Jakes Bejoy kicking it up a notch. There have been plenty of movies and TV shows that dealt with financial frauds, scams, and cyber-crimes. Operation Java is a mix of these movies and TV shows with a 'home ground' script, and by home ground, what I meant is how much the language audience can relate to. Malayalam cinema yet again proves that it does not need big names on the poster to attract the audience, content is always king in this industry.

The movie gave a wonderful experience. Direction and casting was spot on. No big names in the casting, still the actors did a pretty good job at executing it wonderfully. Background music was also great and could give the thrilling ambience. Movie is inspired from true incidents and had a moral, which is pretty great.
