This movie is one of the finest work done in the Malayalam film industry. It's been a while since a movie mysterious like this made. It is the perfect combination of Romance and Mystery.
Luca (English: given name) is an enchanting, indulgent, and genuinely affecting film about an artist, his inhibitions, and his fight against the world through art, the only thing that he knows. Tovino Thomas as the titular character and with a story that is more of a whodunit than a romantic drama made me go numb even as I took part in the director's extremely indulgent and nonchalant frames, following the two main characters as they slowly fall into a state of calm camaraderie. Except for the dull performance by Nithin George who plays a detective and a little bit of editing liberty taken by the makers, I didn't see any issues with Luca which needs to be seen and felt in the best way possible. Brilliant performances and very good writing, especially with the way Arun Bose and Mridul George carve the characters (all characters). (Don't go with Saina's DVD release as the audio in it is horrible. Let's hope this will be out on a streaming service soon.) TN.

Luka is a movie unwinding the life of artist Luka which is as beautiful as the the art works created by him. Like he says , he just don't draw a picture on its outside look ,but it reflects the internal feelings that the person goes through.Enjoying this movie is like understanding/ decoding a complex but beautiful painting to find out the meaning of each and every minute aspect in the painting.we see many movies of different genera, but this is combination of many genera in itself. It has love, passion, investigation , beauty. One should not watch this movie just for time pass , because it's time-worth. We should spend our quality time because this movie worth spending time.movie is set in shady tone throughout. The background music and photography jells with the shoddy nature of the film. The dim light and never stopping rain Always perfect with the theme of film which like watching a musical ballet full of pale music and passion.the song 'doors orayiram irul' meaning full of darkness in the distance, played through out the movie which was very apt to give the movie its mood.overall this movie was a class art work which malayalam industry was missing last few years.tovino is growing as a perfect artist in each his movies. The artwork, background music etc were super. The direction of the movie was topclass.
A watchable movie,but character of luca,somewhere reminds malayalam film Charlie
Direction is good,script could be better
Sad ending is the thing that keeing me away from this film
Still a curios film to watch
