Cicada

Cicada is a movie that hands you the story in pieces. As you watch the protagonist, you are left with pieces of his past and visuals of the present. And as the story unfolds and he gets lost in mother nature.. you get led deeper and deeper into understanding his nature. This story, full of twists and turns, is supported brilliantly with the camera work. The beauty of the forests are captured beautifully. There are many parallels here. The movie seems to say that while the beauty of nature can be mesmerising, it would be foolish to take it for granted... And as with nature, so with greed and relationships.

The music, songs and background score touch the heart. This movie is absolutely worth a watch.

I recently watched cicada movie. What a movie.

Honestly speaking without any expectations I took the tickets. After movie I was I thought if I didn't see this movie, that could be big loss for me.

I really appreciate each and every department of this movie. Outstanding cinematography, background music.

You can feel the forest inside theater. Each and every one did their best. Completely engaging from the beginning till end.

Waiting to see OTT release date.

This proved that Future of malayalam movie is so capable to make creative movie like this.

All the very best for entire team👏 and congratulations.

Karma payback is the theme. The visuals, cinematography - the DOP's work , the Director+ Editor's work - transitions across timelines are excellent. Really liked the flow of the story : the entry into the jungle , the introduction and encounter with Koothan, the switch back-and-forth between the past and the present, adding more elements of the jungle played out well. The songs in the malayalam version are very hummable. Searching on YouTube revealed this movie has composed songs in all 4 South Indian languages and beautiful tunes. Look for Cicada movie songs on YouTube , if you are interested, loved most of the songs

A little more detailing of the characters, some more back-story and unfolding story would have made it sharper.

CICADA is a must movie to watch at a Cinema. The songs were very good and the music and the forest scenes were really top class. The picturization was up to the mark and the beautiful forest scenes of Attapadi in Silent Valley really stood out. The entire crew of this film have put in their very best to ensure that every thing is in place .The movie is totally different from the usual stuff you keep watching every now and then , like the male and female artistes are running round trees and singing a song or a terrific fight scene. The tribals of the Attapadi forest and their way of living have also played a small part .

The movie was really a different experience and it was successful in taking us through the wilderness and natural sceneries which were beautifully shot. From the start , it kept the audience waiting in suspense and the overall journey was interesting. The background scores were very well crafted and songs were too good and enjoyable. Gayathri Mayura has showcased great talent as a lead female artist and is indeed a promising professional to watch out for in the future. In general, almost all actors made a great show and it is certainly a thriller which entertained throughout. Nice movie!!

All the best to the Team!!!
