IMDb Staff Picks for December

The life story of a young Krishnan transforming into a sensible 'grown-up,' over a handful of episodes from different stages in his life.

Joju George, Athmeeya Rajan, Anjali Nair, Ketaki Narayan, and Anaswara Rajan in Aviyal (2022)

There were interesting things in the film&#39;s first half such as Father-Son relationship and the relationship between Krish (Siraj) and Diana (Anjali Nair). But the second half (after the interval) went to totally wrong direction which ruined the whole film. The second half strongly contradicts the film&#39;s first half to the point where I would say that they are two different films. During school days, we see Krish as a character with sense of morality. Although Krish loves his father, still he hates his father&#39;s alcoholism. Although his father drinks and makes a mess, still Krish tries to keep the house in good order. He also expresses his dislikeness towards alcoholism to his father. After being rejected by his first romantic interest (his class mate), Krish immediately out of nowhere becomes kind of a philanderer which doesn&#39;t make any sense since Krish is the type of character with sense of morality as stated above. The idea of Krish becoming kind of a philanderer could have been eliminated. The scenes involving Krish and another man&#39;s bride in the film&#39;s first half should have been totally cut and it is totally out of place. I feel that Krish&#39;s romantic feelings toward Diana (Anjali Nair) should have developed from his sympathy towards Diana due to Diana&#39;s unhappy married life. That would have made the film more interesting. Krish also grew up in a family where there is no female member. But still, the film was able to capture their romantic moments beautifully. With the relationship between Krish and Diana, Diana knew there were risk factors between their relationship since the women in the neighborhood were already gossiping about it. But she decides to continue with the relationship since she was deeply moved by Krish&#39;s romantic attention towards her. As the film shows, Diana was never loved by her husband and she was never happy with her husband. She was also losing patience with her husband as well. In the middle of the film (right before the interval), Diana publicly declares her love towards Krish in front of her husband and others by saying that she was the one who invited Krish into the house and Krish didn&#39;t do anything wrong. The film should have developed and continued their relationship in the second half since Diana publicly declared her love towards Krish. But instead, the second half strongly contradicts the film&#39;s first half and goes into a totally wrong direction which ruins the film. For me, the biggest contradiction is a teetotaler like Krish (who held onto the sense of morality) in the film&#39;s first half immediately out of nowhere becomes an alcoholic, drug addict, and commits other morally corrupt actions in the second half of the film. So when I was watching the film&#39;s second half, I felt that I was watching a totally different story. So for me, the film ends at the middle of the film (right before interval) where Diana declares her romantic feelings for Krish.

There is bits of brilliance in an ocean of mediocrity - that is what I could say about this movie. The music is magical and does elevate certain moments, but the story rambles about and falters about - it is almost as if the director and writer were unsure about what to say.

Not worth watching. Tried watching it for Joju George. But he doesnt have much role to play. The stories are forgettable. The steamy scenes are not required and really urgghhhh. Not recommended.

I really regret to watch this kind of movie Whole industry have to turn against these kind of stupid scripts and screenplays. This kind of movies turning the industry image down. Joju your face made me see this
, highly suggest you don&#39;t be the part of this kind of crew you deserves better far far better.

I haven&#39;t see the movie completely but I really loved so far and I was just looking to see more of the crew and singer but happened to see a lot of bad reviews. I believe this would really destroy these guys as they put an amazing musical journey so far? Is it coz of the fascination he had towards that mother ? So far pure acting and pure songs !!! Must say the movie progressed towards a disaster. It started so well but progressed to a rotten tomato.

Such an awful movie. There&#39;s nothing interesting or exciting in this. Joju being a part of the movie was the only reason I put on this. Really disappointed!!

Waste of time. Totally worthless. Nothing in it. Joju..... Why? I don&#39;t understand how you are selecting such substandard blunder role in which nothing o do from your part. Even your lip sink for the song &quot;Perfect Ok&quot; is 1000 times better than this.

Would have been an okay movie some 10-15 years back, and that too okay. Too much of drama and dragging from start to end. It was a great effort to complete watching this. Nothing of quality here. Waste of time.

The young guy having feelings for a married women should have showed in a bad way. Not in a romantic way. This movie and the director totally disgusting. These kind of movies bad influence in adults life.
