    Average movie can be better

    Despite a strong foundation on which to build, Kaapa remains a generic gangster drama despite its potential. I truly hope they don't continue filming the sequel after that disappointing climax. Although Anna Ben is the film's central character, she has a smaller role than Prithviraj, Jagathy, and dileesh pothan, who are the film's three biggest pluses. Aparna and Asif Ali were fine with the possibility that had arisen. There isn't much excitement to be had in Kaapa. The fact that it takes itself so seriously stands out as a huge flaw. The group members rarely discuss anything other than business. The weak writing makes the characters seem pompous.

    perfect Ganster crime Movie

    Watched kaapa movie perfect Ganster crime Movie from Director Shajikailas .!

    Once again the hit combo Prithviraj Sukumaran & shajikailas done it neatly ..!

    This time more class than mass , a lot of good performances jagadish and Asif Ali stand tall !!!!!!!

    Aparna balamurali made impact .!!! Anna Ben is decent !

    & Prithviraj Sukumaran acting side he is in control of his skills and In Actions he is the SWAG ,simply superb !

    One of the highlights of the movie is excellently choreographed actions ,some shots are crazy and along with good background music and cinematography !!

    Script writer indu gopan give quality time to most of every actors and nicely put a engaging crime action movie with a emotional depth !

    If you are looking for a gangster crime movie with emotions and plenty of good actions , take a ticket and enjoy.

    Fail to balance between mass and class

    RATED 6/10 Language: Malayalam Source: Netflix

    Watched Kaduva and then decided to give this one a try. This one failed to impress me as the previous one. Lot of scenes are quite unique and presented the gangster rivalry in different people point of view.

    This movie is trying to portrait the gangster in half cooked way. It rides in some classic Malayalam cinema way for some scenes and derailed to mass elements in most of other scenes.

    Looks like Shaji written the climax and started to develop the story towards that. This is not clicked in right way for the mass masala lovers, like me. Looks like it succeeded in half for both mass and class way.

    Better than Kaduva

    I watched this film only because I had nothing else to do. I am not a huge fan of Shaji Kailas films, especially his last outing was such a duller I even forgot the name of the film. Again, very weak on the story part. However, liked the small suspense scenes in the beginning. Impressed with Asif Ali's performance. I think he has done a really good job in this film. His innocence and desperation was quite a watch. Prithvi Raj also impressive with the accent and image. Apart from this nothing worth mentioning. This time though I actually sat through the whole film unlike Kaduva where half the time I felt the need to leave the film half way through but had to stay back because of everybody else. The ending is quite predictable. Like I said, watch it only if you have nothing else to do.

    Why wait till the end for the excitement?

    Why did we have to wait until the very end for the movie to get exciting?😖 Kaapa had all the pieces to be a grand movie, it's just that the storytelling dragged and only became interesting toward the end

    DELICIOUS

    -Anyone watching Kaapa will definitely admire the mad drone skills of the cinematography!! It was insanely great

    -An outstanding work of the lighting

    -It was different to see that the film portrayed the gang leader's humanity

    -Kaapa's ending was spicy as it brought all the characters to life and showed us the big picture. We were excited and wanted to see more

    BLAND

    -Kaapa was presented like any typical gang movie with Prithviraj being the one-man army. Basically, the entire movie was about him defeating this and that enemy without ever being injured 🙄

    -Asif Ali played the role of an IT guy, but we never saw him go to work; somehow he had all the time to meet police officers and other parties

    -The score was quite overpowering, so loud that it drowned the scenes...
