Appan

This is a movie that deeply touched me as the core concept of the movie is what, though many people might have experienced, is not very prevalent as a social topic or issue. Thus, this is not a movie for everyone as some may find it to be higly exaggerated. Everything else fits perfectly, the editing, cinematography, background scores etc. It might not be a must watch movie, but its definitely worth a watch ! The acting is also pretty incredible especially Sunny Wayne as Njoonj and Alencier Lopez as Itty. Pauly Valsana also plays a memorable character as Kuttyamma ! (Movie can be predictable at times).

I am speechless after watching this movie, I personally wish I never thought about this movie ever again after watching it but I know it's not possible, this movie will stay in everyone's mind for a long time. Brilliant in every single field. Every single person acted exceptionally well, I believe this movie is the career best performance of almost every single actor who acted in this movie. Career changing movie from sunny Wayne. I love how the director and scriptwriter crafted this movie, every single person watching this movie wishes for ittys death. I believe this is best movie in Malayalam in recent times, brilliant.

Appan succeeded in making us HATE Itty! There's no way you can sympathize with this guy, to say he was evil is even an understatement😆

The film was a carefully designed script that hit all the right buttons, we were pleasantly impressed!

-By far, Appan is Sunny Wayne's best performance. He was living and breathing his role; we could see the immense agony of having Itty as a father through his eyes and body language. We believed him.

Alencier Lopez, without a doubt, was the star of the show! He succeeded in making us despise him and even wanting to kill him 😖

-Though the movie was mainly shot in Itty's house, we didn't feel a redundant vibe. The director properly used different rooms to vary the scenery, helping us get to know the residence and making us part of it too

-The screenplay went to the extreme of extremes when it came to depicting Itty's disgusting behavior. If we can even say these words: he was demonic!

Appan intentionally demonstrated how this despicable behavior affected his son's legacy and his wife's mentality. AND to witness the family's unconditional love towards Itty was a learning moment for us, very powerful

-Though Appan is about a womanizer, It's safe to watch from start to finish, thank you for a clean experience

-We were so horrified at Itty's devilish nature that we didn't pay attention to production aspects; this is good, had there been issues, we would have definitely noticed.

This is one of the best malayalam movie of the year for me. I loved everything about this movie. Starting with the writing, I don't remember the last time i saw such compelling and deeply written characters. The complexities in the relationship between the characters was so refreshing to see on screen. I loved the way they wrote alanciers and sunny waynes character. The best writing was sunny waynes character. He also performances it amazingly. His relationship with his father, how he takes care of him even though his father made his life hell. He is a good son, he is a good husband, a father himself, this character was explored amazingly. Alancier is the star of the movie. It's only because of alanciers amazing performance this movie works so beautifuly. I think it's alanciers career best performance. I can go on praising the performance of all the actors in the movie. Everyone did a amazing job. I loved the realistic aproach in making, Makes the movie and the characters very relatable. The cinematography is so beautiful, the rubber fields, and the house are the only two main locations, but still the camera angle never feels repeated and keeps us engaged till the end.

A must watch according to me.

A cracker of a film that is instantly likeable. The opening scenes build up the titular character and that's just one of the superb ways the film handles itself as it weaves a story about a family in their wits' end. With an electric plot that faintly reminds one of Joji (2021), the characters come alive with proper weightage given to all of them so as to let the story narrate itself. You keep wondering why these people continue to put up with misery, but then the film answers that question indirectly. Though the film loses steam as it crescendoes, the characters stay with you longer after you have closed the SonyLiv app. Appan is a surprise hit for me this year.
