    Demonic Verdict

    It is just a normal movie with five friends going out on a holiday for partying. But as the story progresses, the character's inner social prejudices are shown. The movie shows different types of preconceptions in the society like: religious prejudice (Thirumeni), gender prejudice (against Geetha), cultural prejudice (by Ashokan against Geetha, tribal woman), sexism (against Geetha by Dharman), classism (against Vinayan), appearance prejudice ( against Dasan), racial Prejudice (against Dasan), bribing and many more...

    I usually love movies that have little or no camera movment, like Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam. This one too, by Sanal Kumar Sasidharan, makes us audience; sit with the characters. The continuous shots surely help to get attached with the situation.

    I am so amazed with the actors performing continuous for such long shots. Should appreciate the crew... Since most of them are single shots, the audio quality is a bit low. But this doesn't affect the overall impact of the film. Actually feels more like an orginal, mediocre footage taken by a surveillance camera.

    Even the way every person is given their lot was admirable, also their character names. How they treat each other over social norms over personality... Great, underrated film 👍

    Drags a lot.

    The idea is great. But it drags too much. The movie is like few middle aged men deciding to drink in a holiday. And all the things they did is being captured. Well, the DOP doesn't make us feel the presence of camera. It's about misogyny and casteism. It depicts the attitude of majority of upper class Indians. And the fact that it's set up in one of the best states in India. Kerala is great when you compare it to other states. But the ground reality is even though people are educated, the majority aren't progressive. This movie is relevant all over India.

    Brilliant original art

    The movie punched me in the gut two days back when I watched it. Still reeling from the impact.

    Very realistic movie that does not feel like a movie but is yet so cinematic.

    The movie is not for everyone as it does not conform to any norms in terms of what a movie should be. The mastery of Sanal Kumar Sasidharan is undeniable. I still don't know what hit me. Sanal definitely knows a thing or two about how to make an impact with his movie.

    Unni R's story is very impressive. Adaptation as the movie is just as astounding.

    Some of the nature shots were spell-binding and reminiscent of G Aravindan's work. Background music was impressive. Very authentic acting.

    Forces you to wake up from your stupor. There is malice out there and you are not always immune to it.

    Must watch movie

    This is the movie that I watched in the theater with no expectations.

    It's about 5 friends who are enjoying election day in a farmhouse.

    At a peak time, the inside criminalization of everyone will come out.

    The movie is talking about politics which is everyone keeps in their minds.

    Viewers will feel little Lag, but it's a must-watch movie.
