Overall Rating: Water 
Iratta was not bad actually, it’s just that it was told in a monotonous way and took a usual path to unveil the mystery😔
~Still Worth Watching~
Delicious
—Iratta was by far Joju George’s best performance. He meticulously added a small flavor that made a big difference in identifying Pramod and his twin brother, Vinod.
Pramod was composed and looked sober & resolute in his attitude; he walked with determination. On the other hand, Vinod had a nonchalant behavior coupled with a careless and lustful facial expression; he walked in a sloppy way
—As the saying goes “when you feed a serpent milk, its venom only increases” and that’s what we saw in Iratta.
When bad conduct is not corrected or punished, it later escalates and causes damages. We’ll just stop right here to avoid spoilers 😑
—The rest of the cast supported Joju George really well, they were intriguing and gave off a nice suspicious vibe. Arya Salim (playing SP Savitha) looked stunning in a police uniform😍
Bland
—Few segments were missing logic: normally, women who’ve just escaped an abusive and brutal partner will not move in with a strange man, however, Malini (Vinod’s love interest) did so without objection.
How did officer Bineesh (Abhiram Radhakrishnan) quickly recognize a girl he saw once during a scuffle?
—What seriously deflated Iratta was the typical way the story was told: there was the usual set of already-identified suspects, then additional characters came into the picture, and finally the revelation.
There wasn’t much to look forward to as we had an idea of what was going on. Additionally, it became tedious to constantly see Pramod or Vinod in every scene due to the lack of a parallel story
—Versatile camera angles and movements could have helped make the film more interactive and spice up the thrill
