Delicious
—Where to even begin? Many congratulations to Manu Warrier & team.
You can tell a great amount of hard work took place before, during, and after production to deliver such an outstanding quality. Brilliant climax, every scene kept us glued to our screens as we didn’t know what to anticipate.
The film evoked fear, anger, extreme violence, helplessness, and courage under fire
—Storytelling was very fluid with striking dialogues. Kuruthi raised some significant points concerning religious intolerance and questioned the perpetual hatred that exists among humans since the beginning of creation.
The wake-up call was when Ibrahim’s father (Mamukkoya) said: “Do you know what’s the biggest reason for mankind’s suffering? Man just wants to see the end of his enemy!
That’s the power of hate. Even if he doesn’t teach his children to read, he will teach them to hate! Generations to come will burn in that raging fire of hate” Wow 😲
—The editor accurately captured the spirit of the story; loved the orange color palette bringing out that hatred energy circulating in the air
—The director of photography knew how to seize every moment of the movie, the lighting, framing, camera motion/angle, focus, etc. Great job on the match-cut transitions
—Prithviraj (playing the villain) really outdid himself. First time seeing Naslen Gafoor (playing Ibrahim’s brother) and he blew us away with a remarkable performance.
The rest of the cast was simply fantabulous 🤩
—A round of applause for the engaging visual effects and fight choreography
Bland
—Just a minor note on the lack of realism of some events. A man who was burnt with acid fully recovered from the pain within hours?? Ibrahim also got terribly injured on his hand, yet walked around like he had no pain😳
