This movie actually surprised me a bit. Two things I absolutely loved about it - Amal neerad's cinematography and fahad's Aloshey.the creative reconstruction of the Russian novel under the colonial period with the mesmerizing beauty of Munnar as background was totally unexpected. Iyobinte Pustakam gave more space to all the actors to perform as none of them seems to be less important. The movie brings to light some significant socio-political issues of the era highlighted by feudal mindset of Iyob and the rebell inside Aloshey. Lal,who is a proved actor have handled Iyob with ease and perfection. Padmapriya's Rachel is the real twist element in the story and she have done justice with it. This is perhaps the best reply to all the criticisms calling Fahad Fazil a highly typecast actor. The music suits the mood of the movie but could have been made better. The stunning visuals are the best part of the movie which is almost breathtaking. Amal neerad has freed himself from constant trolling over the extended slo-mo scenes. This is surely the best movie of his career so far.

it is not very easy to portray a cliché theme into something new, exiting and scary as ever! James Wan and his team has done the magic.The BGM and cinematography are truly amazing and gives the apt mood for the movie. after every scene, the movie continues to prove that there is no need for a ghostly figure with blood dripping teeth to send chills down your spine. something that you cant see is much more scarier than what you can! almost all the actors have done justice to their characters. Vera Farminga and Patrick Wilson has done a great job as Ed and Lorraine Warren. the movie stands apart in its treatment of the subject in a novel way. we have seen a lot of movies build up under the 'haunted house' theme. but this one will not be a disappointment for sure.
