Elaveezhapoonchira Movie Review: A thriller that isn’t engaging

Assessment: Ilaveezhapoonchira is a ravishing hill station in Kottayam district, however the policemen stationed right here work in harsh climate, the place rain and thunderstorms are frequent and even lightning deaths usually are not unusual. Three policemen, Madhu, Sudhi, and Prabhu aka Venghayam (Soubin, Sudhi Kopa and Jude Anthany Joseph) take turns on the station, and their responsibility primarily entails turning away vacationers – who generally taunt the cops – from the purpose of hazard.

Someday, there may be information of a girl’s amputated hand present in a close-by space, with different physique elements in numerous spots. The investigation strikes forward and Madhu is beneath the scanner. Is he the wrongdoer, and why the police are suspicious of him makes the remainder of the story.

Whereas this can be a lovely locale, recognized for trekking and off-road driving, cameraman Manesh Madhavan hasn’t managed to seize the enchantment. Director Shahi Kabir, himself a cop in actual life and whose earlier writing credit embody Joseph and Nayattu, wraps up the film in 106 minutes. That is likely one of the few issues that works for the movie; no pointless flashbacks and no songs. A easy story, narrated with no frills.

The primary half of the film focuses on the gorgeous locale and the cops and a few vacationers, and we don’t know the place the story goes. The story solely will get transferring within the second half, however by the point you get hooked, the film ends. A weak story and pale narrative sinks the efforts of the lead actors and the director. The characters and performances of Soubin and Sudhi are the one saving grace of the film.

On the entire, the thriller fails to create an influence. If you’re a die-hard fan of thriller motion pictures and a Soubin fan then you possibly can watch it, in any other case give this a miss.
