Iratta

No words to Joju George's performance in double roll. He acts through his eyes. Very rare actors show their performance through eyes. It is said that if you want to catch anyone who has done wrong, just look into the eyes. Eyes will give you the correct picture. The movies keeps you guessing throughout about the killer. It is difficult to play double role because you need to get blended in two different characters. Joju's performance keeps the movie pretty much alive. Rest characters are okay. Hats off to the director and the whole team. Joju George has done justice with his stellar performance.

It's been 2-3 days since I watched the movie but I still keep thinking about it, that's how powerful this movie, the climax is something that will haunt you for days. It's quite sad this movie wasn't that successful in theaters because it deserves a lot more attention. Director even though was new, you barely notice that in the direction. Screenplay was so well written. Joju was exceptional in both roles, he is currently 1 of the best in Malayalam cinema. Jithu ashref was outstanding in his small role, he will have his own spot in the industry soon. The 2 Miscast in the movie was srinda and Arya salim, both are really good actors but some reason, didn't blend well in these roles.

Recently seen movie on Netflix...like mostly Malayalam movie it starts with murder of police cope inside police station and then goes to emotional and investigation parts....movie is well written. Complex subject is described in dramatic way... movie is like roller coaster ride... sometimes you feel for both main actors... relationship between twin brothers and their troubled past is convenient...film has monotonous screenplay which is not for mass audience... even last 20 minutes are extremely well written.for that movie is like gem..you should definitely watch the movie... emotional angle in movie is top notch.

What is pain, there is a different version of pain in everyone I believe and the actor J is able to portray the pain in any character he assumes. Pain emotion, facial expressions, feelings in body language.

I couldn't stop being thrilled about the attention to detail and detailing the character throughout this movie.

The movie will not end for me, I waited till the end of the cast names to see if there was something after it.

I really feel the art of movies is in the power of pain the characters go through.

Right from the beginning till the last scene I didn't want the movie to get over, other than the minister and the police commissioner, who appeared too immature in their roles, everyone else was a treat to watch.

A definite recommend.

It will leave a tear in your eye, a beat in your heart and be a lesson for life. Beautiful movie.

'Iratta' proved again why Malayalam Cinema is the best right now. 'Iratta' means Twin, it's the story of 2 twin brothers and a murder mystery. The screenplay was non-linear and it was important to show it in this way as through this they've shown the past lives of the lead characters. While watching this you may predict certain things but then you'll be facing that big climax.

It'll be very hard to digest that climax as it's too much disturbing. By this the film also delivers some strong social messages. Joju George as both the twin brothers nailed it. He successfully made us feel for both the characters equally, screenplay and direction does the rest. Both the BGM and the songs were used in perfect scenario. 'Thaaraattayi' will haunt me whenever I'll listen to it. A MUST WATCH.

Available on Netflix.
