Seldom comes a Thriller that wakes up your grey cells & forces it to function..(ANDHADHUN-2018, probably being the last)
& As they say,"You pay for the whole seat..but are on the edge throughout" sums up this brilliant follow up to the 2013 prequel
What seems like a game of SNAKES & LADDERS turns out to be a masterclass in CHESS ..!!!
JEETU JOSEPH..(writer & director) probably had sequel in mind while writing the first part..& to me is the real hero of this masterly crafted film...
Film starts exactly where the prequel ended.
We are introduced to an eyewitness who watches LALLETAN (MOHANLAL -Georgekutty) exiting the police station..
Cut to today...6 yrs post the horrific incident..GEORGEKUTTY & family are still guilt ridden & past haunts them..
The Police is still investigating the case secretly & finally they get the breakthrough...
All hell breaks loose...
What happens next???
Will GEORGEKUTTY be able to protect his family now??
Or GEORGEKUTTY has another Ace up his sleeve???
The puzzle is solved in last half an hour that shall blow your mind...
Just like its predecessor...this too takes time to set up the premise & then gives us a thrilling ride..
The twist at the interval is a masterstroke...followed by more turns prior to the big revealation...
Better Background score & trimming of 15-20mins could have uplifted the film even more
SCREENPLAY is top notch ..though some loose ends that could be neglected in lieu of larger picture..DIALOGUES are apt
B
LALLETAN (MOHANLAL) ..Is ONE MAN ARMY..you can't blink when this champ is on screen..he owns each frame...
Minimal dialogues but the face speaks volume..
The remaining support cast & new entrants hold their ground..
A CAPTIVATING RIDE...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..!!!
