Vettah


It was thrilling and nice story telling movie. The promotion on how it is a mind-game movie is really apt.
I hadn't heard of the movie till it released. Still I was not interested in watching as all the publicity was on how Manju was playing a police officer. But on the demise note of the director #RajeshPillai only did I know that this film was from him, who had directed Traffic. The day I heard that it is a mind-game thriller, I fixed on watching it and went for the show next day as I didn't want any spoilers.

I felt good I did that and I believe that #Chackochan (Kunchacko Boban) has given a really good performance in this movie, but I feel justice is not done to him as the promotion of the movie was more on Manju playing the cop. She has performed well but not as much as the hype that is being built around her. I felt she and Indrajit were on the same page of performance and role-wise too. She has had outstanding performance in her early years, but this is not in the same league. Here I felt Chackochan has played a real intense character way out of his league but is being so underrated. People are banking movies so much on her comeback and it was just creating an unwanted hype to all her recent movies. I feel too much promotion is going for her and it is affecting the movie. I wouldn't have gone for this movie if I hadn't know it was a Rajesh Pillai's thriller film. Overall It is a nice thrilling movie with lot of twists and turns. Worth watching it. Nice performance by all characters. Rajesh Pillai's sudden death is a loss for all. RIP.
