Just saw movie on Amazon prime with subtitles...no previous information about movie but kept me intresting till end... story start with murder investigation and ends with decent thriller...story is simple who done type but direction and acting make them enjoyable to watch....from start to end movie hold the plot effectively which is great for thriller...no unnecessary subplot or songs. .all the actor has done justice to their rolls..you can easily watch movie with friends and family....only minus point is sometimes unrealistic twist which is hard to digest.but from thrilling view you can neglect... overall very nice movie.

This movie just suprised me. It's must watch movie for all who are interested in crime, mystery and thriller. Well written and executed.

With no star power or any big names, the movie Concentrated about their content and was confident about it.

The crew involved right from the director to the crew have done a splendid job.

The Content was well maded and displayed and the entire Golam Team requires a huge shout out!!

Wish this movie was promoted better and that it should have reached more people. And would love to see more regional languages are included.

Wish them the very best for Golam 2!!

A howdunnit murder mystery with an interesting story turned into a script that needs more drafts. The direction with the use of camera and music tries to cover up any weakness in the script which kind of works by the second half of the movie. The over-the-top use of music reminded me of how some soap operas use plagiarised over-the-top action music from movies for no reason while showing close-ups of everyone in that scene. Even though this was only two hours, it could still have trimmed another twenty minutes out of it and it would've worked better. The lead actor wasn't particularly bad but besides his chiselled body and stoic posture, he couldn't really bring the audience to care for him as the lead. But all the other supporting cast did their roles really well. The moments where I first thought their acting was a bit over the top were justified to be like that once the mystery starts unravelling. The different demography of people in an office setup felt quite real for the current time and not in the stereotypical way that is usually seen in movies.

There are a lot of aspects that may feel silly but the film manages to be engaging especially in the second half, and I felt I could forgive a lot of its mistakes. The film ends with a promise of a sequel which I can only imagine to be much bigger in scope and I don't think that is really viable with the current setup.

On the whole, despite all its issues, it felt like a commendable attempt of an investigation thriller that tries something different in Malayalam, even though it clearly borrows a lot from Agatha Christie to CSI.

Except for couple of scenes in climax, the thriller movie is superbly made, acted and a treat to watch. Movie ticks on all boxes from story to cinematography to music. How does Mollywood keeps on churning wonderful thrillers which are made in low or medium budget?

The Lead actor, who is relatively new to mollywood, has performed admirably and does look like veteran in giving polished performance. Veteran actors like Siddique, Alencer has given brilliant performances. Important non star cast of movie has outperformed themselves in roles worthy of lifetime.

The movie also raises important questions on ethics and present cut throat environment, which we are living in. Hats off to team.

The story of the movie Golam might feel familiar to people who watch or listen to movies frequently. Especially for viewers of detective films. There is a link between this movie's concept and the story of a significant book written by renowned author Agatha Christie. Perhaps accidental. Nevertheless, this film may have been a solid investigative thriller if it had a new storyline and had a few more talented performers. The movie frequently shifts in tempo and veers away from the intended message. The main character, who pointlessly snaps and then examines a photo on his phone, is the best illustration of this. Both the screenplay and the story are old. This one has every element common to all other investigative thrillers. Just one viewing of the film is sufficient. In any case, the writer deserves a hearty round of applause. Because it's difficult to manage so many different characters at once and come up with a confusing murdering method that nobody recognizes.
