Takes balls to go shoot something as ambitious as this.
What bogs down this solid effort from reaching it's full potential are its poor dialogues and clunky short film style aesthetic slomos.. Doesnt feel truly complete as a movie. Gets too overindulgent with setting up prequels and sequels.
Intrigued for what's coming next.

Concept of the movie was appreciable but the making was very slowwwwww. Really at some point it test your Patience level.
If you watch a German movie without subtitles you will understand more than what you can understand from this movie. Utter nonsense

As a big fan of time travel, Neo-noir movies, this is a perfect movie for me.
Its is not necessary that a great movie need famous actors, good looking-sexy hero/villain, extremely impressive locations, VFX effects, unjustified violence or supper director.
Ajay Devaloka, did a tremendous job in his directorial debut and the film was simple yet elegant.
When I saw the movie in a special preview, the only thing that remain mystery was what is actually dream and what is happening in real life.?
Actually it is very hard to write down the review for "WHO" without spoiling the fun of watching the movie and understanding how these different dreams or different people keep twisting inside a main plot.
If you are a fan of Mulholland Drive, Memento...!!!! This is the movie for you... it will blow you away in all aspects...!!!
All in all, WHO is highly, highly recommended.

I was so excited after reading the movie plot and the ratings . But it was a total waste of time. No connectivity and a dark story . Poor acting .. Only the locations were good and nothing else... The conversations are very poor and they doesnt want viewers to hear that it seems....someone written that the movie's time travel was good .. OMG how i missed it lol :)

The movie is not for everyone. I think people will either hate or end up liking the experience of watching this movie. Highly appreciate the courage of those who behind it to bring a multilingual (English-Malayalam) movie. I wish there will be more malayalam movies in future in that line.
To explain my experience of watching it, the movie surely tested my patience, develops at a slow phase and the mysteries are too much for the movies to handle. The visuals were amazing but the dialogues and characters in it were unnatrual and dramatic. The movie is not for everybody, but surely will belong to a unique genere among the malayalam movies.

Some one has got to have extreme balls to have spend money for having produced this torture of a movie !
There is absolutely no connection between the scenes . Screenplay is plain trash ! Half of the cast doesnt know acting ! Dialogues are bad . I am not sure why this movie was made !
The only good side of it being some amazing frames and very spooky BGM.
PEOPLE - Please , for God's sake . Stay away . Don't punish yourselves !

Even being someone who has braved viewing some of the worst Malayalam films produced in the history of Malayalam cinema did not help me sit through this highfalutin collection of genre-bending elements that do not make a bit sense, which is further bogged down by an ennui-inducing screenplay, stupid dialogues that are supposed to be philosophical (?), and clueless characters who come out of nowhere and always seem to be waking up from a bad dream. TN.
You've probably heard this movie compared to western scifis like Inception but it is not that.
This movie is not about dreams. This movie is not about time travel. This movie is not even a psychological thriller.
This movie is what you get when a director (Ajay Devaloka) has a few brilliant ideas and tries to make a movie out of it. It is a showpiece for his cinematography and editing skills. 2 stars for the effort but unfortunately it falls far far short of hitting the mark.

This movie is like rotten food packed in a shiny pack. Most effort in this movie has been given in writing the "about this movie" section at Amazon Prime. Movies like this can be used as medicine for movie addicts to quit excessive movie watching and can also be used as a torture technique by the intelligence agencies. I felt that the idea of the movie might have conceived while taking a dump. And the dialogues might have been written when the writer was high on weeds grown in the valley on which the movie is based on. I had to create an account here just to write a review about this movie and help others save their valuable time.

First of all I'd like to begin with the fact that I was not able to watch this movie in theatres.Its because the movie was released in only a few number of theatres.I watched it yesterday after a long wait for it to come in digital media.I must say I was quite impressed with the way this movie is executed.
For all of us who watched Hollywood science fiction masterpieces such as Christopher Nolan's inception & many other sci-fi flicks,this an ideal movie of such kind in malayalam.This movie deserves a widespread recognition.But sadly our own experimental movies which have high standards doesn't get a proper reception like we give to foreign language films.Coming to the making of the film,the director deserves the biggest appreciation.The movie is shot in such a way that it is in a dark mood throughout which has an important role in showing the mystery & the thrill & suspense elements.The background music is not great but it is good & this movie don't have any unwanted songs or other stuff which most of the other movies have...
Coming to the actors,mainly Shine Tom Chacko & pearly maaney have done a wonderful job.The transformation of pearly to a matured actor deserves a lot of appreciation.Others actors like Rajeev pillai & shruthy Menon & the actor who played the cop,all of them did their job perfectly.I highly recommend this movie!!😘🔥

It is a movie about time traveling, dream interpretation and knowing power of human thoughts.. It is about understanding a truth so grand that one's mind cannot grasp it. Other than that, Who is a great movie, one of the best I have seen in my life..
Ajay Devaloka is an infectiously enthusiastic director who is quick with intelligence, and very brilliant. It's very rare that seeing filmmakers that are as passionate about filmmaking and bringing new concepts as Ajay Devaloka. A very hands on, approachable director and much power to this kind of movies.. Can't wait to see sequel of this film..
