The Goat Life (2024)
2/10
Overacting , Not worth hype.
1 April 2024
Blessy, the gifted director, previously graced us with cinematic gems like "Pranayam," "Tanmatra," and "Kazcha." However, this time, he stumbled into the trap of misguided marketing gimmicks, and the overseas branding tarnished the essence of his true artistry.

Prithvi's acting is not a transformation, but a fancy dress competition, mixed with overacting. Even LKG students outshine it. However, beyond the cinematography and visual brilliance, there's little substance to match the hype. Everything is merely an inflated claim. As for A. R. Rahman, his star power still sells this film, even if his musical magic has lost some of its luster.

The story itself feels contrived, drawing inspiration from a true tale but embellishing it with overhyped theatrics. The filmmakers' assertion that this project spanned 16 years is inaccurate; their official YouTube channel documents an inaugural pooja ceremony held in 2018, making it a mere 6 years rather than the claimed decade and a half. Unfortunately, the film lacks emotional depth, relying instead on theatrical performances. For those accustomed to quality content from platforms like Netflix and Prime, this movie might appear unremarkable. Even the desert shots, touted as extraordinary, fall into the realm of mediocrity, having been witnessed in countless other films. In summary, it's a below-average production, skillfully amplified through PR efforts and marketing wizardry.

Wonderful Cinematography , Ambience and an Excellent Thriller
1 October 2023
Film is exceptionally good. If you watch attentively you could feel the whole amosphere. Cinematography is simply the best. Background Score and ending score exceptinal.

Actingwise I like the main actor and that police officer. Story is unpredicatable. Just give a try. Watch without going through any reviews and you will really enjoy .

Dialogs are additional highlight. Not any unwanted dialogs or dramatic scenes. Everything lies in ambience and acting. Without any expection and I watched and great work. Great work team.

There are many aerial shots which you will ove for sure. Direction is top notich.

Chathuram (2022)

Excellent direction. cinematography
2 January 2023
Excellent cinematography, casting, script and thrilling elements. Actors did their best, especially Swasika, Rosha and that supporting actor. The ambience is superb.

The bg score still fresh in my mind. Very calm and ambient presence feel. Siddharth Bharatan excelled his father in a way. Felt like watching a hollywood movie. Excellent direction. One need to watch it either in theatre or atleast using a proper headset, otherwise not able to fully realise.

Expecting more such thrillers from Siddharth Bharatan. This is one of the best movie that I watched in 2022. Hats off to the entire team. Malayalam film industry needs more films like this,

Very Good Movie and Wonderful Direction. Reality
6 July 2022
Film very nice and eventhough a bit lagging at first slowly it gets its pace. Acting, Direction , Everything is wonderful.

The one reason why too many people against this film is the film highlights hindu concepts a lot which is normal as per the story and many wont like it. So they portray against the film which comes in form of negative reviews.

Even if the film is not a commerical success, purely bcz of planned negative attach, film will remain in hearts of real viewers like us.

Congrats to the entire team.

Tweaked Story based on Hyd Case to Promote Political Agenda
5 May 2022
Felt like a politcal agenda. Famous Hyd Case story was tweaked to a create a soft corner towards a partciular group of people. Also indirectly supports reservation and all and also mocking mainly central govt.

Just a over hyped film, felt time waste.

Misinterpretated Documentary , Lack Creativity and Baked Stories
27 September 2021
I have seen the documentary. Its an attempt to show only negatives of Transcedental Movements , especially to promote Semetic Ideas. All the activities, talks and interviews given by TM people are misinterpreted and show in a pecular way to show authors interest. Honestly not worth even a penny.

I am not a TM movement person but by watching the documenatry its quite clear its leaning to one side to damage its reputation, a kind of psycho approach.

Last part of film its showing an incomplete construction of Brhamastan before 2010 and portraying it as World Peace in a kidding way. The author has no commmon snse to understnd half way done constructed site to show as a complete one demoting TM.

90% of the stories are baked ones, with those out of TM. There is no proof howevers showing. Simply allegations. Grow up documentary maker. Spend time in making good creative videos than on this cheap tactics.

Brilliant direction and ambience
16 April 2019
Watched today from gtracks theatre without any expectation ,without going thru any reviews or even trailer. Felt the best experience. You must watch it from theatre. I saw trailer now and feel it's not upto mark, compared to movie.

Can say for sure one of the best thriller movies recently released . Hollywood standard. I wondered why wikipedia giving full plot of story. It certainly ruins viewing experience

Superb family entertainer. Super comedy film
19 April 2018
Good movie with nice story, nice direction , cinematography and nice ending. Comedies are class . No double meanings. Good to enjoy with family and worth to watch it. One of the best comedy movies recently saw.

Before watching this movie, had seen some negative reviews in websites and by some. So with very least expectation watched but felt its one of the best comedies . Just ignore the negative reviews, its all biased and paid fro those who dont to enjoy a movie . Go ahead and watch this movie.

Direction is also simply superb. You wont feel its pisharody's first film. Background score by ousepachan is apt. Songs are average, not a big highlight.
