    Feel bad good movie

    Raw human emotions pirated well but feels bad as the content is diverted for various reasons

    Must watch for family

    Felt same numbness as like after watching Game of thrones.

    Is it the acting or the screenplay?

    Difficult to single it out, but worth a watch.

    Suraaj or Tovino, and Aishwarya too - play out their roles beautiful in this touching family drama. There is an element of mystery, just barely tho', 'cause that was an easy guess.

    Must watch movie ,,,, immaculate experience kaaneekaane

    I could not get my eyes off the screen the whole time . It showcases the human mind and how it will change for the situations. I was in awe for a really long time after I watched this master piece created by the director Manu Ashokan after his debut in Uyare. A perfect emotional rollercoaster.. iam still not out from the movie yet.

    A promising director and iam sure that he will create wonders in Malayalam film industry.

    Almost

    There was potential in the theme. The first reaction after watching the movie was how the Padmarajan-Bharathan era used to have been so much better. Those movies used to just feel right, used to communicate directly to the heart.

    Kaanekaane has a good subject. However, there were many half baked portions to the script. The movie and the viewer end up in different places at the end of the movie. Performances were less than stellar. Camera work also felt very plain.

    "Paalnilavin" song was really good. This is the kind of movie that has the potential to be a tear-jerker in the hands of yester-year masters, and also had the potential for remarkable standout performances. However, performances were below par. Suraj Venjaramoodu was definitely not at his best in this movie.

    Bobby-Sanjay duo did not match up to themselves in their writing either. The turn around realization moment for the main protagonist is almost infantile.

    "Joseph" was a movie with an incredible theme whose execution did not take the most advantage of it. This one is similar. What remained as far as it's experience was a strain full of start imperfections. I did start with high expectations for the movie. It was a good subject but did not hit the mark in terms of it's writing, performances, execution.

    Excellent making

    The movie has an amazing story line and casting was very well hand picked. The concept, the making and the music... everything was on the proportion. Heart smiled and mind blown!

    • Trivia
      Director Manu Ashokan wished to have certain equipment for the shoot but it looked impractical as most of it had to be rented from out of the state which meant the technicians had to travel and be in quarantine before 14 days of the shoot. He was afraid this would affect the cost of production and decided to drop his plan. But the producer T.R. Shamsudheen saw to it that the equipment and technicians that the director wished for were available throughout the shoot.
