Appan

Appan succeeded in making us HATE Itty! There's no way you can sympathize with this guy, to say he was evil is even an understatement😆

The film was a carefully designed script that hit all the right buttons, we were pleasantly impressed!

-By far, Appan is Sunny Wayne's best performance. He was living and breathing his role; we could see the immense agony of having Itty as a father through his eyes and body language. We believed him.

Alencier Lopez, without a doubt, was the star of the show! He succeeded in making us despise him and even wanting to kill him 😖

-Though the movie was mainly shot in Itty's house, we didn't feel a redundant vibe. The director properly used different rooms to vary the scenery, helping us get to know the residence and making us part of it too

-The screenplay went to the extreme of extremes when it came to depicting Itty's disgusting behavior. If we can even say these words: he was demonic!

Appan intentionally demonstrated how this despicable behavior affected his son's legacy and his wife's mentality. AND to witness the family's unconditional love towards Itty was a learning moment for us, very powerful

-Though Appan is about a womanizer, It's safe to watch from start to finish, thank you for a clean experience

-We were so horrified at Itty's devilish nature that we didn't pay attention to production aspects; this is good, had there been issues, we would have definitely noticed.

This movie speaks for many whose pain are never understood specially in India with pre notion is set for parents. Luckily the main lead has loving and caring mother but for many they are not so fortunate. This movie is so intelligently made and it should be appreciated for the maker to come up with kind of subject. Parents for many can be the reason for their unhappiness and disaster, ruining some one's entire life. A child brought up in unhappy childhood and during growing up years cannot come out of it through out his / her entire life the pain always stays. Don't how many life must have been ruined by their parents themselves. No parent is perfect but deep in side they do have love and kind ness for their children but in situation like shown in the movie such cases do exists where the parents don't play any role except giving birth and feeling such cases are like rarest of rare disease which happens to one in millions. It's is very difficult for outsiders, relatives even the neighbours to understand the turmoil the child goes through because no one can come to term that parents can be so evil that they are no bothered if the kid exists and explaining such situation to others is impossible for the one who is suffering. This movie is one of the most excellent malayalam movie I must have come across though I watched in hindi as I don't understand South language. Few scenes looks comical when in fact it is tragedy happening with the family, which in reality happens too. The outsiders who witness the scenes it looks light and funny but it's life & death situation for the one who suffers.

It feels disgusting to watch the character of Alencier , Itty... that man lived the role and created much much impact on audience I believe. Variety of rasams, probably all 9 of them expressed in this movie. Classic acting by Sunny, Alencier, and others including the kid. What a plot ! Its variety and a subtle message to the toxic patriarchy system. It tells us that in the world there are many fathers who exhibits the characteristics of Itty. Must watch for all. It has a new story, the emotions are captured well. Some shots are too good, few could have been better otherwise. This movie has everyone acting to their best.

A cracker of a film that is instantly likeable. The opening scenes build up the titular character and that's just one of the superb ways the film handles itself as it weaves a story about a family in their wits' end. With an electric plot that faintly reminds one of Joji (2021), the characters come alive with proper weightage given to all of them so as to let the story narrate itself. You keep wondering why these people continue to put up with misery, but then the film answers that question indirectly. Though the film loses steam as it crescendoes, the characters stay with you longer after you have closed the SonyLiv app. Appan is a surprise hit for me this year.

I am speechless after watching this movie, I personally wish I never thought about this movie ever again after watching it but I know it's not possible, this movie will stay in everyone's mind for a long time. Brilliant in every single field. Every single person acted exceptionally well, I believe this movie is the career best performance of almost every single actor who acted in this movie. Career changing movie from sunny Wayne. I love how the director and scriptwriter crafted this movie, every single person watching this movie wishes for ittys death. I believe this is best movie in Malayalam in recent times, brilliant.
