Excellent but underrated film

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I don't understand ,based on what this movie is taken.Through out the movie ,they have tried hard to adapt some Hollywood stunt elements.The most boring and irresponsible Malayalam Movie ever.No story line, Poor editing, Poor Direction, Worst Music, Horrible dialogues.Apart from some comic scenes,the film is nothing.I wonder if 'Arya' read the script before acting,as we can't see any scope for his role in the movie.Camera work is good,Can give some marks to his work only.I don't understand why some bgms copied from amen.'Prithviraj' and 'Indrajith' are good actors in malayalam,but they have chosen a wrong subject here. Hats off to the poor people who suffered three hours in cinema.

To all variety seeker Double Barrel will be an wonderful treatment. After Amen, Lijo Jose Pellisseri comes with a brave attempt in Malayalam Cinema like we've never seen before.A group of gangsters set out in search of two diamonds named "Laila and Majnu", which are worth only when they a together.Even though the story was simple,the movie got international look.Great visuals by Abhinandan Ramanujan by the use of Red Dragon Camera and the variety songs composed by Prashant Pillai are another plus points of the film.The Double Barrel give a feeling of reading a comic book,So we have to see this movie in the mindset of kid to enjoy movie.But don't expect Amen or his other movies.Director's approach towards film making was different from others. LJP doesn't want to make same kind of movies.His each movie is different from one another,in style,story,treatment..etc. Double Barrel is labeled as Gangster spoof film.As a experimental movie of course it has some negatives also.But I don't care about that,for me the movie was a great visual treat and entire cast was awesome-Prithviraj,Indrajith,Asif Ali,Arya..etc.May be it's style was inspired from the movies of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie. The costumes and style of characters reminded me of famous gangsters in Hollywood.Totally Double Barrel is my cup of tea.I think it's not everyone's cup of tea.I must admit that Double Barrrel is Bold Experimental movie released in Malayalam. Try to watch it in theaters. Lijo Jose Pellissery is Malayalam's original next- generation filmmaker.

This was one crash and burn like none other. As an ardent admirer of the Lijo Jose Pellisery school of film making and an even bigger admirer of Prithviraj (and to a lesser extent, his brother too), this was one flick I was betting the year on. Lijo's first movie was an under-appreciated little gem 'Nayakan' with Indrajith in a role which should have catapulted him to the big time, but didn't. Sadly, his second movie, and probably his best, City of God, was commercially noticed even less, but was one of my favorites of that year. But considering the huge supporting cast of big names and the Tarantino-sque trailer for this one, plus the fact that Lijo had finally cracked the commercial approval code with 'Amen', this had to be a surefire winner right? Nothing could be further from the truth. Speaking as someone who loves experimental Malayalam cinema, I have to say I found nothing really to recommend here. The first sequence, in fact, was quite promising – with the arguing couple, the silent gunman and the explosive culmination of it in a black comedy of errors. But from then on in, I could only watch with growing disbelief as the movie descended into farce of unbelievable proportions. The silent gunman, played by Sunny Wayne, was probably the best part of the movie, and not nearly enough time was devoted to this character. A farcical tale on the pursuit of two diamonds, Laila and Majnu, which together are valuable beyond your wildest dreams but worthless individually, a whole cast of characters come together (or blow apart) in its chase. Leading the pack are the duo of brothers (Prithvi and Indrajith), small time crooks trying to break the big time. Chemban Vinod Jose and Arya play another track of small time hooligans trying to bury a couple of bodies their mobster boss killed. Speaking of which, how in the world is Arya such a huge star in the neighboring state? His lack of emotive skills and even poorer dialog delivery shows exactly why he probably could not make any in roads into the currently competitive Malayalam industry.The ingredients were all there for a wild and quirky romp in a Mallu stoner attempt at Tarantino. Unfortunately, the biggest problem here is that the situations and dialogs are just not funny. What was meant to be rib tickling funny fell flat most of the time. Most of the story lines (apart from the silent assassin one) did not connect and it was way too long, clocking at a mammoth 2 hours 40 minutes.There is almost nothing redeeming in this misadventure – except maybe for the fact that every director is allowed a misfire, and considering this is Lijo's first, he will hopefully bounce back with a bang.

Double Barrel aka Iratta Kuzhal is a comedy movie from the director Lijo Pellissery,the film is packed with excellent visual experience and certainly a masterpiece by the film maker, action and black comedy combination is a new experience for south Indian viewers such an experience is seen only in Hollywood. Its similar to Django Unchained in some sense but different in other.Directed by Lijo Jose PellisseryProduced by Prithviraj, Santhosh Sivan, Arya, Shaji NadesanWritten by Lijo Jose PellisseryStarring Prithviraj, Arya, Indrajith, Asif Ali, Sunny Wayne, Swathi Reddy, Isha Sharvani, Pearle MaaneyMusic by Prashant PillaiCinematography Abhinandan RamanujanProduction Company: August CinemaDistributed by August Cinema, E4Events & Nanma International (Asia Pacific)Release dates: August 28, 2015Language MalayalamBudget US$2.4 million .The cast of the movie have ultra modern look and its a retro styled movie like the "DOUBLE BARREL GUN" it self.
