I stumbled up on this after the Emmys. Watched the first episode and I liked it a lot, but the whole 15 minute opening of the second episode was unbearable to watch. It's as if the character completely loses it from how he was portrayed in the first episode. He just acts too foolish to be believable, when he is not. I tried to sit through it, but it was hard and I won't be watching the other episodes. Hopefully others are able to enjoy the series better.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ronth, particularly the acting and the story. All the others such as music, cinematography blends in nicely, that you don't notice it. So, they have done a good job as well. The execution is very realistic, yet the story and happenings are shown in a way that's gripping. I didn't get bored at all and got immersed into the life of two policemen while watching the movie. Dileesh Pothen has done a brilliant job and his character shifts etc. Is expertly supported by the situations and the story and he has executed it with aplomb. Roshan has also done well and plays the naivety and low key arrogance and helplessness of a new police recruit really well. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and this movie is a testament to realistic need not be boring and when well done, can be supremely entertaining.
I was so excited about this movie due to the director, cast and the premise. However, after watching it, I was so let down. Khalid Rahman lands the boxing premise really well within the local context, but the plotlines and character arcs are really really poor. The main lead Naslen is handled in quite a haphazard way and a lot of moments and his reactions are really awkward and doesn't land. Some of the other characters have a lot of potential and as soon as they peak, they are side lined. Overall, the movie is below average with the potential to have been a really good watch. However, the mishmash of characters, poor writing and script weakens the film significantly. I feel for the boys who must have put in a lot of effort to look the part.
