    Cicada new perspective of movie

    I recently watched cicada movie. What a movie.

    Honestly speaking without any expectations I took the tickets. After movie I was I thought if I didn't see this movie, that could be big loss for me.

    I really appreciate each and every department of this movie. Outstanding cinematography, background music.

    You can feel the forest inside theater. Each and every one did their best. Completely engaging from the beginning till end.

    Waiting to see OTT release date.

    This proved that Future of malayalam movie is so capable to make creative movie like this.

    All the very best for entire team👏 and congratulations.

    Thrilling experience

    The movie was really a different experience and it was successful in taking us through the wilderness and natural sceneries which were beautifully shot. From the start , it kept the audience waiting in suspense and the overall journey was interesting. The background scores were very well crafted and songs were too good and enjoyable. Gayathri Mayura has showcased great talent as a lead female artist and is indeed a promising professional to watch out for in the future. In general, almost all actors made a great show and it is certainly a thriller which entertained throughout. Nice movie!!

    All the best to the Team!!!

    A solid movie to experience the jungle

    Quite a story, quite a thriller .the scenes of the forest, the hills , the music and the picturization is top class. While the story takes some time to be conveyed it's a must watch. Thrill, action,drama , cicada has it all.the theory behind karma being the god of all is so true and the movie is able to portray the work of fate by nature beautifully.

    The leads were amazing but the performances by those who inhabited the jungle was the best and a fun watch.

    A solid start for the team and evryone behind the making of the film The music is the most enjoyable part and experiencing it in the theater is a must.

    A Survival thriller with a twisted plot

    I'm a person who loves thriller movies I'm happy to say I enjoyed the hell out of this. It's a very slow moving story, but very well shot, the story is fantastic and it sucks you right in. Come to find out this is based on a persons karma , which makes it that much more interesting. Love it when you find something like this that you have zero expectations about and end up enjoying it. Characters performance really takes you through the emotions of the plot. It was one of the biggest things that stood out to me in this film.

    While the film does have some issues, it takes a bit to get going and I feel like some time could have been cut out of the last half of the film, it's solid overall. I'm glad I gave this one a chance. While this movie certainly won't be for everyone, if you're in the mood for a good story, give this one a chance and check it out.

    Karma gets you in the end

    Karma payback is the theme. The visuals, cinematography - the DOP's work , the Director+ Editor's work - transitions across timelines are excellent. Really liked the flow of the story : the entry into the jungle , the introduction and encounter with Koothan, the switch back-and-forth between the past and the present, adding more elements of the jungle played out well. The songs in the malayalam version are very hummable. Searching on YouTube revealed this movie has composed songs in all 4 South Indian languages and beautiful tunes. Look for Cicada movie songs on YouTube , if you are interested, loved most of the songs

    A little more detailing of the characters, some more back-story and unfolding story would have made it sharper.
