~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—Soooo many great things to say about Randu, don’t even know where to start off.
The opening scene was definitely catchy: Loved the attention to detail with the capture of the pigeons and the movie title appearing above the mosque with the glaring flashlights.
Binulal Unni didn’t give us a cliche story about religious clashes, instead, he dived into the personal feelings of the common people victims of these atrocities.
As the proverb goes “when two elephants fight, the grass suffers”, and in Randu, we saw how much average citizens suffer while the religious instigators go about their agendas. The storytelling was so relatable
—The color grading was a work of quality that brought out a beautiful contrast between scenes and gave a nice finishing look to the images
—You could tell the editor did his part with extreme care; each scene transitioned seamlessly making the story believable
—The director invited us to experience every character’s emotions: embarrassment, humor, and pain.
Vava (Vishnu Unnikrishnan) was an example of someone suffocating in this atmosphere where every decision made was ‘religiousized’ by leaders without the freedom to just be human
—You cannot criticize the acting, from the lead characters, supporting cast, even to the extras, a marvelous performance was rendered
—Dialogues were very profound and sound design was meticulously executed
