VARATHAN is a brilliant commercial film and a really good film!
VARATHAN is layered and political and the characters have been well-etched!
VARATHAN has got excellent cinematography by Littil Swayamp. The shots and angles were very well used to evoke tension and discomfort. One or two jump-scare attempts felt deliberate though. Thank god, the yellow filter portions were very less and were in the beginning of the film. The frames were picked not for its beauty, but for its ability to convey the mood of the film.
VARATHAN has got really good writing and dialogues especially between the two lead characters. Well done Suhas and Sharfu!
VARATHAN's background score is top notch and apt in a commercial cinema point of view. But it was a bit too much for a classic cinema. Yeah I understand that the director must have wanted the film to stand tall as a commercial flick too. Great job Sushin Shyam! Though the songs were forgettable, the score held the film together.
VARATHAN is blessed with brilliant performances. Aishwarya Lekshmi excelled again after her career-changing Mayaanadhi. She was brilliant as Priya and brought all the nuances on to screen. Sharaf U Dheen was bloody brilliant! He proved that he can create magic if the script, direction everything falls in place. Arjun Ashokan, Vijilesh, Nisthar Sait, Dileesh Pothan all were excellent. Perfect casting! And Fahadh Faasil as Varathan was as usual at his best! The way he shows the various shades of Abi with ease was a treat to watch.
VARATHAN will make you feel like a VARATHAN in an unknown (yet not unusual) territory! Definitely worth your time and money!
