Overall Rating: Nuts      
Why did we have to wait until the very end for the movie to get exciting?😖
Kaapa had all the pieces to be a grand movie, it’s just that the storytelling draaaaaaged and only became interesting toward the end
~Still Worth Watching~   

Delicious
—Anyone watching Kaapa will definitely admire the mad drone skills of the cinematography😀
Oh goodness, the intensity of the car chase scenes was increased by the reverse orientations, pattern turns, and other techniques
—Lighting team: you are real masters of the craft 🙌🏾👏🏾
—It was different to see that the film portrayed the gang leader’s humanity.
Kotta Madhu (Prithviraj Sukumaran) was a hurt man trapped in a world of crime; this led to exhaustion and constant vigilance of his surroundings. We almost sympathized with him
—Kaapa’s ending was spicy as it brought all the characters to life and showed us the big picture.
Sadly, we can’t discuss the details to avoid spoilers, but let’s just say we were excited and wanted to see more. We are so waiting for Kaapa 2!

Bland
—Kaapa was presented like any typical gang movie with Kotta Madhu being the all-powerful one-man army. He had the usual henchmen entourage ensuring his protection and aspired for politics. 
Basically, the movie was about Kotta Madhu defeating this and that enemy; he was always the one inflicting pain or killing, without ever being injured🙄
—Anand (Asif Ali) played the role of an IT guy, but we never saw him go to work; somehow he had all the time to meet police officers, Kotta Madhu, and other parties during daytime
—The score was quite overpowering, so loud that it drowned the scenes
