The movie has a very relevant socio-political references , though it fails to develop from anything more than a mere reference. VJS and Nithya Menen have done their best , but the roles are nothing challenging for them. Nithya dubbing sounds terrible.

The political reference had so much opportunities to create an impact . How ever the story is stuck around nithyas uneventful life getting tangled with something very important. It's not just her life, the whole movie is quite uneventful thru out.

When the police team ,especially when Indrans , stepped in I had high hopes that the movie would now lead to something more. But it then goes back to same path. Why did they even have Indrans name in poster and his role ?

Super slow movie, only 1.45hrs but it felt like taking ages to finish. I wouldn't recommend watching even for the good cast.

Big fan of Vijay sethupathi movies in this movie the director didn't give him importance this movie had that potential only Nithya menen dominated but her dominance couldn't up to the mark.

What a time waste movie Dragging, boring and honestly was shocked and happy at the abrupt ending of this hopeless movie. Many reviews are in full appreciation of this time waste movie. Right from the beginning till the end pace of the movie is too slow.

This movie is such a drag... Don't waste your time watching this , it has nothing that will hold your attention. I had to watch this at 2x speed,it was that slow.

Ing Nithya Menen , Vijay Sethupathi in lead role. Also starring Indrajith Sukumaran, Indrans, Srikant Murali.

Written & directed by Indhu VS Streaming on Disney + Hot star from 29th July 2022

Good decision to release on streaming platform or else in box office it would be a biggest disaster.

The title of the movie represents to right to freedom of speech and expression & that's what the movie is all about but 1hr 47 min is pity too long as the story travels through extreme lagness.

The story begins with the life of Nithya Menen the central character who runs a Xerox shop for livelihood. One fine day a customer comes to her shop, hand over a note and promises that he will return to collect it but not. After few days, it came to know that the customer who came to her shop was shot murdered and its none other than a renowned writer "Gauri Shankar" played by Vijay Sethupathi.

Post this incident, how Nithya Menen, finds a way to publish the note which is in her hands which have a relevant social message forms the rest part of the story.

Although the movie throws light on the topic of freedom of expression, politics of colour, the politics of discrimination but the screenplay designed in such a way that it just test the patience of the audience as notion comes " 1 hr 47 min is too long ".

Vijay Sethupathi & Nithya Menen subtle performances. Something more expected from Vijay but that didn't spark well.

Indrajith Sukumaran presence was immaterial as the story shows the connection with Vijay sethupathi but was it that required, a question aroused to me.

Overall, a movie to watch making it pause multiple times.
