Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This movie is a rip-off from Korean film Handphone (2009). Unlicensed copy. No rights from the original obtained before ripping off the plot directly. So...what effort?

Before beginning i personally appreciate the Sameer thahir(Director) for bringing such unconventional attempt which is first in our mollywood. Coming to script-cannot claim it as a flawless but let us appreciate the effort for their audacity. Script is mediocre but what makes it more interesting and engaging is our actors and mind-blowing cinematography by Jomon.T.john. Fahad as a rookie actor shows his mettle and scintillating performance which will be remember as is best and other actors like Vineeth had done a commendable job, special mention to Remya nambeeshan, Nivedita has nothing to do much. Songs were average. What stands above all is the Climax-climax is probably the best made/executed ever and cinematography was just par excellence. Climax shots were just like real footage or like any hidden camera shots, never seen in any movie this kind of camera-work, we can easily see the Fahad vindictive expression and he had performed it meticulously and Vineeth role was his career best.Watch out for Fahad,Jomon john camera-work and best shot climax ever.I'll like to rate it 7.1/10

Well, it hurts to say that I saw this movie in an almost empty theater. This movie could be included in the category of those which are trying to make a so called 'new wave' in Malayalam cinema. But I should say it went a little overboard. This movie may not please the average malayali cine buff. He may find it a little too raw and stylish. The main characters Arjun and Ansari are played well by Fahad Fazil and Vineeth Sreenivasan respectively. Ample backup is given by Remya Nambeesan. The music by Rex Vijayan is passable. The highlight of the film is the impressive camera work and the fight sequence. This movie is surely a deviation from the normal clichéd Malayalam movies but there was scope for much more from the story. Such movies may not be groundbreaking or trend setting but it sure does pave the way for future ones. Hats off to the director Sameer Thahir for bravely handling a sensitive storyline like Chappa Kurishu.

I haven't written a review here for some time now, but the critical reception to what I feel is one of the best movies to come out of the Malayalam film industry in recent times moved me to pen down my thoughts.Critics seem to have not been very favorable to this work of art, which is quite beguiling. The desperate desire for change which most lovers of Malayalam cinema have been holding onto since Malayalam films took a turn for the worse at the turn of the century seems to be finally arriving, and while a few fine efforts are getting appreciated (eg. Salt 'n Pepper), this one doesn't seem to be. I can only assume it is because of the lack of commercial elements, which I guess something like a Traffic (while it is a good film, I get a feeling it was so appreciated because of the commercialized aspects of it) did well.The movie explores the lives of two individuals living on two socially opposite edges of a metro. While Fahd Fazil plays a sophisticated, rich and young corporate honcho who is also an inveterate flirt, Vineeth Sreenivasan plays the role of Ansari, a sweeper in a supermarket. Arjun and Ansari would normally have never had to interact with each other, as both live lives of vastly different circumstances. Arjun has the arrogant, confident outlook of someone who has probably made achieving things (professional and personal) a habit. He does not notice most of the grime surrounding him in the city and has no problems sleeping with his secretary, Sonia (Ramya Nambeesan), while at the same time planning his wedding with Ann (Roma). Ansari, on the other hand, is someone who has always been timid and used to being beaten down by life.Arjun, on a spur of the moment decision, records a lovemaking session he has with Sonia on his phone camera. When Sonia finds out about his impending marriage with Ann, they have an altercation in a café, which leads to Arjun losing his phone. As fate would have it, Ansari picks it up. From then on in, the story becomes a cat and mouse game as Arjun tries to get back the phone from Ansari, worried as he is that the clip he recorded will end up on some website. Ansari, on the other hand, experiencing having power over someone for the first time in his life, plays around with Arjun getting him to do things Ansari could not. The game ends in a gritty, raw and thrilling denouement with one of the best fight sequences picturised in Malayalam.Fahd Fazil is brilliant and carries the movie. A perfect role for him, he exudes the uber cool handsomeness and arrogance needed for this kind of role and I sure hope he continues doing stuff like this in the future. Vineeth Srinivasan provides an able foil as the down on his luck Ansari. Remya Nambeesan was a revelation. It was so refreshing to see a leading lady in Malayalam who is not your coy, village belle kinds and who doesn't mind expressing herself on screen. Nivedita as Ansari's colleague and burgeoning love interest is also nice. The music by Rex Vijayan is quite interesting and different from the usual fare seen mostly.While good movies like Salt 'n Pepper are getting the critical and commercial appreciation they deserve, I hope this one also does not fall under the radar and gets the recognition it deserves.
