It's good parallel story and could have been more interesting if they added few conflicts in the narration. Goes very plain and predictable throughout except judgement in the ending.
Acting wise, almost every one acted well and justified.

Vaashi never rises above watchable, but its core premise is refreshing. While the film has a breezy first half which portrays the chemistry between the leads (Tovino & Keerthy), the second half which covers a larger portion of the courtroom drama lacks a certain dramatic intensity. The case presented is one of contemporary significance, and the performances do not disappoint. But somewhere along the way, the the writing loses its grip on the viewer. Ego clashes aren't exactly new to Malayalam cinema, and neither are courtroom dramas, but the challenge for director Vishnu Raghav was to come up with a compelling, cogent plot with sufficient texture. He succeeds to some extent and it isn't easy to pick sides here. That being said, the film's central conflict (i.e. The ego clash) is resolved rather easily while the legal tussle concludes in predictable fashion.

Ebin(Tovino) and Madhavi(Keerthy) are two aspiring lawyers and are in love with each other. Ebin is from a rich and influential Christian family and madhavi is from a middle class hindu family with only her mother. Ebin, with the influence of his brother in law Jose(Rony) is appointed as a public prosecutor. Ebin is first assigned a case of a girl anusha by her father who files a case against her colleague gautham for having sex with her with the promise of marrying her and later cheating her. Its madhavi who appears for gautham since they are childhood friends. For ebin, its his first case as public prosecutor and a prestige issue. On the other hand for madhavi its her family friend. Hence both can't withdraw from this case. On top of that, due to family pressure both have to get married while this case is going on. How this case take a toll on their married life and whether they can live happily keeping their professional differences aside is the rest of the movie.
Vaashi has an interesting plot backed by decent performances from tovino and keerthy. But it suffers from extremely mediocre direction and production values. Script tries to be on a safe zone and the courtroom is not hardhitting.

The story is very interesting and the movie kept the audience engaged throughout the film. Performance from Keerthy Suresh mam is brilliant. Tovino sir played his role really good. Over all a good film to watch.
The concept of this movie is simple although story is quite interesting. However, the story could be more interesting. They did a very good job over acting and Did well in creating story.

Plot is very familiar with malayalam industry, as husband and wife fighting for a case,which we have seen in 90 movies. Movie is not a theater type. A maximum capacity for an OTT or short film type.
Tovino and rest team acting and casting was good. Only poor acting and casting was keerthy suresh..Parvathy was better for the heroine role.

Cinema in the recent times have made so conditioned to the idea that everything needs to be overly dramatised and larger than life. It is refreshing to see movies that keep the narrative a little bit more rooted. I enjoyed how Vaashi depicts the Court Room as a Court Room and not like a Battlefield of screaming and shouting. Well written, Very relevant and definitely thought provoking.

Good performances from Tovino Thomas and Keerthy Suresh; Unfortunately it doesn't compensate for mediocre directing, writing and pacing.
You know you're movie isn't good when your favorite aspect is the editing.
I definitely didn't hate the movie, but it's very safe and made no room for discussion.

Great parallel storylines. However the story progression could have been written to be more interesting.
Very good performance by Tovino. Keerthy Suresh could have done more justice to her character which looked a little forced and juvenile at times.
The movie however captures very peculiar topics of marriage, romance, feminism and orthodox mindset of women in the society.

First the combo is very well executed through out the film.. story narrated in a brilliant way to balance both roles till the end.. Hope to see again this combo in future. Tovino again proved himself that he can handle any kind of role in an extraordinary way.
Got to watch this movie after getting it suggested in one of the FM radio channels. Storyline of the movie was simple, but yet interesting, probably screenplay could have been better to make movie fast-paced and thrilling one.
Both Tovino Thomas and Keerthi Suresh carry the entire movie on their shoulders and they both look like a real pair probably because of their acting.
This movie also brings into light the problems faced by Lawyers in early stages of their careers and how they struggle to become successful.

Vaashi is a well-made courtroom drama that's a welcome change for me from the usual masala flicks. The feature utilizes its time well and introduced the characters, especially the two leads. This film is in part a romantic drama and a courtroom drama. I have to say both sides work really well to make this film is engaging and attention grabbing. This film wouldn't have worked if the characters are underdeveloped and the actors are subpar. The characters are so rich, each with their own personalities. The two lead actors are excellent in portraying characters with flaws and contrasting ideals. It was interesting to see how their professional lives progressively affects their personal lives. The case become intense as the story moves along, to the point where they don't speak to each other, their lack of professionalism all comes down to how much they needed to win the case and prove that they are better than the other. At some point, it's not even about their clients but their ego. I like the juxtaposition of the case as to how the male character represent the female client and vice versa in such a sensitive issue. It provides a fresh perspective and they both present valid points. On the whole, a really charming film with nice script, well-drawn characters and decent performances.

The movie navigates a very narrow corridor... almost within 4 walls... inside the court & at home... the characters focuses on just 2 people the entire time... and the story revolves around just 4 people... to such an extent... that they could have done away with the rest...
The movie LACKED a proper story... and a proper end... but it's well directed with what it had... the climax was an anti-climax... Last scene was really a mystery...
The cast played their part well...
The film has no bite and leaves you with mixed feelings... I would not recommend this as a must watch movie to anyone.
Seems like this movie was made more for Menaka's daughter's launch in Malayalam movies.
It also seemed like a tried & tested formula between 2 friends... fighting case in court from opposite ends.

This movie has some good moments and there are a few sunny spots. Tovino is really good as usual. Even the supporting characters perform admirably. Praise worthy really.
But a poor script and unbelievably Bad Acting by Keerthi Suresh spoils the narrative so horribly. Another case against blatant nepotism promoting bad casting decisions thereby stealing opportunities for deserving actors and defacing good art.
The characterisation of the victim personally seems out of touch with reality. And the ending would seem unfair to some.
A good effort and vision honestly but all the essential parts failed to come together as needed to create what could have been a great movie.

There is absolutely nothing in this movie. There are plenty of movies with same storyline. Movie starts in a decent manner but again gets into the same old professional rivalry.

It's very plain simple and another month in a couple's life!!
The case doesn't stand much valid I feel. It showed much of a couple perceiving their life and job. Tovino hats off... Wit his innocent smile and acting. Keerti certainly has shown a good performance.
I loved the movie overall.

DIRECTOR!! FIRT LEARN ABOUT HOW COURTS FUNCTION BEFORE CREATING A MOVIE AROUND IT.
Utter nonsense!!
That is not how prosecution probes in court.
The movie clearly shows prosecution manipulating the victim and asking the girl to tell court that the guy forced her.
The lead role - Hero of your film does nonsense. Script and writing should have been cross checked by competent legal advisors.
Prosecution does not lead the victims and have them say whatever they needed. Court does not function that way. Any lawyer in their right might would object.
No basis for a case.
There was no false promise Or Rape.
No witness.
DIRECTOR YOU MADE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF AND A MOCKERY OF LAW.

I really liked this movie. The story was awesome. But i have a doubt in this movie , The second last scene , Judge and family sleeping, at that time the camera zoomed in to his family photo. What was that ?
