Very well shot but the film falls flat due to it's writing.
Background score and songs too doesn't do much rather than being obnoxiously loud. (kadavule pole remix 🏃💔)

Coming to the characters, pretty much every character felt underdeveloped.
Tovino's switch didn't feel justified.
Zayed's backstory and revenge also didn't connect.

Felt like for a commercial movie to work completely, the hero should have much more screen time.
A10 varunnu, povunnu, repeat.

All the 'L' references felt very preachy.

Lucifer…

Liked how the story unfolded despite the movie being too dramatic and flat at times.
Could have trimmed down.
Could have toned down the score too.
Another hit for Fikka📈

It's just so easy to float through life forgetting how lucky we are.

Beautiful cityscapes.

Sci-fi doesn't get better than this.

Denis Villeneuve is him.

Alappuzha Gymkhana has it's own high moments but overall the high moments felt repetitive so the movie works only in parts.

Ending was underwhelming too. Felt a sense of incompleteness.

Boxing scenes were very well executed and shot.

Literally zero effort is put into actually developing the characters and making the emotional scenes more layered. In the end the movie felt soulless.

Women characters used just as a mere tool to portray violence to create shock factor among the audience.

Shobhana just for A10- Shobhana pair PR ig 🧑‍🦯

Thudarum could've been so much more🫠

Wow.

Different camera techniques(split diopter shots>>) , different perspectives and sharp cuts into each of these organically builds the anxiety and fear among the viewers.

The composition of each shot too, I mean I could pause and learn how composition enhances the atmosphere of each scene.

You have no idea how important it is to just know that they are here, not far from me, somewhere where they feel good, and that I only need to give them a sign to meet them again. When you cross someone out of your life, you cross out a part of your life as well.

Awestruck.
Can't recommend this enough!
