    Epic movie

    'Every calamity is news until it hits us'. This movie is about the 2018 flood and based on true incidents. Amazing performance by Tovino Thomas and rest of the stellar cast. Malayalam movies surprise me every time with something new. This movie would seamlessly take you inside it and make you experience the flood. Thanks to the team for making this as a movie. It left me in tears at the end because it hits differently! My heart goes out to everyone who died in the flood and to everyone who survived it. This film is of international standards and reminds me of 2012! This team made the impossible happen. Don't miss this experience! It's not an yet another movie but a epic one!

    2018 was recreated. Craft at its best .raised the bar of mollywood

    Watched malayalam movie 2018 It's a movie based on the floods that happened in kerala in 2018.

    Fantastic movie especially the making is too good. VFX, editing and direction was brilliant.

    Breathtaking shots Jude Anthony the director take a bow this will be one of your career best creation..simply mind blowing.

    The movie shows how a romantized rain can destroy life's. The makers successfully created the flood and it was neatly crafted.

    No lags in the story and will keep you on toes throughout.

    Tovino Thomas plays character (Anoop) and it will be there in the viewers heart for long. Brilliant and realistic acting by him.

    Once again he shines as a romantic hero. (I am sure he will grab awards for this)

    The film does an excellent job of capturing the emotional journey of the characters and the resilience of the people affected by the disaster through its realistic and sensitive depiction of the flood's aftermath. Notable performances by actors like , Lal, Kunjacko Boban, Asif Ali, Narein, and others make the film all the more compelling. Big shout out for actor sudheesh superb acting by him.

    Huge star cast movie but importance was given to everyone and they all did a brilliant job in fulfilling it.

    You need to experience this in theatres .hollywood style movie making and has surely raised the bar of mollywood movies.

    A must watch movie not to be missed . Surely give you goosebumps and will make you cry at the end..

    Well this is a Real Kerala story that everyone needs to watch.

    2018, showcases the resilience of Kerala during the devastating floods of 2018, movie takes us on a journey through the tough times of those who suffered from the floods and the bravery of those who rose to the occasion to help their fellow beings. The actors' performances in the movie are top-notch . Their portrayal of the emotions and struggles of those who went through the floods is heart-wrenching and deeply moving.

    The direction of the movie is exceptional. The way the director has intertwined the stories of various people who were affected by the floods is brilliant. He has done an outstanding job in capturing the essence of Kerala and the resilience of its people.

    The editing of the movie is seamless. The transitions between the various stories are smooth and keep the audience engaged throughout.. The music reflects the emotions of the various characters perfectly and adds to the overall impact of the movie.

    Watching this movie made me appreciate the strength and courage of the people of Kerala, who stood together during the devastating floods of 2018. This movie is a tribute to their bravery, and I would highly recommend watching it to anyone looking to witness the power of human kindness and resilience.

    Incredible human story.

    Based on the 2018 Kerala floods, the film narrates an incredible story involving rescue of the civilians who were unaware of the severity of the situation rendering even the government helpless. The timely intervention from the local fishermen help the incredible rescue mission. 2018 - Everyone is a hero and that is what the film succeeds in portraying.

    The film is entirely driven through human emotions and for a disaster survival film, it has quite a generic screenplay with noticeable foreshadowing throughout the first half. What works is how honest the characters are and how real the terrible scenario is. With too many characters, couple of them and their sub plots take a hit, making one wonder they could've been dealt better.

    Since the focus of the second half is entirely on the floods and the rescue mission, the director succeeds in elevating the second half perfectly while the bunch of good actors ranging from Tovino Thomas to Indrans deliver superbly. The effective 2nd half is what makes this movie a must watch. I was not too impressed by the visuals in the trailer but the final outcome is chilling enough.

    Watch The Real KERALA STORY, Not Propagandist!

    Personal Rating 8/10

    This type of movies come after many years, Just f#ck the Fake & Propagandist KERALA STORY, Watch This Real KERALA STORY, where everyone will get social message. The first half of the movie was average, but the second half is really engaging. The movie has been presented in a very professional way. You will be emotionally attached to every character in the movie before the climax. The movie had great cinematography with direction. All the lead characters including Tobino Thomas gave their best delivery, which looked very natural.
