Narivetta

The movie is a really good one but the ending felt uncompleted. But the movie still gave out good awareness about the cruelties from the society against people facing problems and poverty. The actors did a great job from their part and they did not disappoint at all. The movie showed a good amount of romance from the protagonist and it was not disappointing either!. But the ending slipped a bit out of my expectations because it felt uncompleted. Like the continuation to the protagonist story after the ending will be a mystery, because no idea to that could be acknowledged. But the ending do gives audience endless ideas about what could've happened next!. Good job, team!. I enjoyed watched the movie.

Kudos to the team for shedding light on a dark chapter in history - the Kerala government's and police's brutal treatment of tribal groups. The film is well-crafted, with impressive cinematography and background score, making for a engaging viewing experience. However, the narrative's impact is somewhat diminished by the choice of central character. By not making the protagonist a member of the affected tribal group, the film misses an opportunity to authentically portray the struggles and injustices faced by the victims.

The casting is mostly fine, with Arya standing out, but Tovino and Cheran's performances feel artificial. The movie's pacing is also marred by unnecessary subplots, including a cringe-worthy love story and family drama. These scenes waste valuable screen time that could have been used to delve deeper into the core theme, diluting the seriousness of the central plot.

Despite these flaws, the movie is well-intentioned and tackles a significant subject. With some tweaks and a better script it could have been even more effective in conveying the gravity of the issue. The film's good intentions and technical proficiency make it worth watching, but it's clear that a more nuanced approach would have elevated the narrative. Overall, it's a commendable effort that falls short of its full potential due to some questionable creative choices.

Rating - 3.5/5

A socio political drama set on the backdrop of a tribal forest area questioning the political authoritative powers against their cruel atrocities on humanity.

The plot of the story revolves around a young struggling guy who had to join Police force succumbed to family pressures and how he discovers his real purpose of life therein forms the storyline.

Hats off to the writer and director for showing the grit to pull off a politically sensitive story inspired from true events that happened in the landscape of Kerala. The story shows us how the patience and rights of the underprivileged strata of the society is tested by the bureaucratic power. The filmmaker has portrayed his political stand like in his previous outings and highlighted the fact that the powerful people can influence on what the public should be known. The story narration through the realistic narrative approach lost its traction towards the climax wherein the lead actor takes a transformation in his character shade.

Good performance by Tovino and he has moved through the character with distinct layers in ease. Suraj Venjaramood has given a subtle and composed performance. Impressive performances by Cheran & Arya Salim.

Anuraj has given a technically brilliant movie that can be best enjoyed in theatres. Vijay has captured the scenic beauty of Alleppey and the raw earthy landscape of Wayanad without losing its essence. Shameer Muhammed has chopped the movie into a realistic drama with good songs & background score by Jakes Bejoy. Art team deserves appreciation for setting the premises in the forest area. Good sound design by Renganaath Raave and Vishnu P C best enjoyed on Atmos screens.

A good watchable realistic drama on the life of underprivileged from the POV of a cop.

I always said, Tovino is the Crime thriller genre king. When it comes to story selection from mollywood Tovino wears all the hats!

Just watched "Narivetta" and I'm absolutely blown away by your performance! The way you portrayed the character's internal conflict, his journey from reluctance to a deep understanding of justice, was incredibly powerful. It's such a bold and essential story that "Narivetta" tells, and your acting truly brought its important message to the forefront.

You made me feel every bit of his struggle and his eventual resolve.

Thank you for giving us such a powerful and thought-provoking performance!

Whether this message finds you or not, as a fan, I felt compelled to share how deeply your portrayal resonated with me.

Verdict: Semi-Hit.

Reached the theatre late.

Tovino has performed reasonably. Great music work from Jakes Bejoy.

The script is pretty light for a subject as intense.

When the attrocities appeared on the screen, I was shaking. So through a seemingly innocent and simple narrative, the movie did find me emotionally.

Suraj gave a good short performance.

The movie is Tovino centric, and Tovino has done well.

The script set up a daunting challenge, and gave an easy win. The writing has it's issues.

Movie does fizzle out from the expectation it set. Nothing stark and bold in the movie.

It does have a heart, and wants to stand by the adivasis of Muthanga.

Vaada Veda song has more fire in it than the movie.
