Corona Dhavan (2023) User Reviews

It's high time we recognized small-budget movies like this one

I really enjoyed this movie, and all the characters came to life on the screen. The movie revolves around people searching for alcohol during the COVID-19 outbreak. All the characters have equal importance and this movie is not solely based on the actor's point of view. It's high time we recognized small-budget movies like this one.

The movie had some hilarious scenes and they were well executed. Sreenath Basi and Lukman were superb and all the other supporting actors were outstanding in their respective roles. I liked the story but the creators could have made the ending more impactful and that's the only con I see in this film. If you want a good laugh, then definitely give this a watch.

Very Funny

Saw this movie recently at home..A gem of a movie, taking a comic route to highlight the pain which many of us went through when realisation struck too late, that liquor shops in India would also be closed as part of the lockdown.. Lukman is extremely versatile and seems to be the dark horse who will prevail over Malayalam cinema in the years to come..Srinath Bhasi as the eccentric gangster is a revelation, his dance scene to cope with the drought was hilarious. Add Jony Antony into the mayhem and we have a role coaster ride of a funny movie. Hope film makers give us these kind of movies to help get our money's worth for OTT subscriptions.

Funny Corona

The director has done a great job of taking a bunch of alcoholics and making a funny movie out of it. Two serious things - Corona shutdown and the alcoholism - to produce a comedy movie. Tough task but the director handled it very well. It was hilarious in several places. I would say the first half was funnier than the second half. It was not clear whether the main character was producing the alcohol or just hoarded it. The rural setting made it more appealing for me. This movie also gave me a reasonable understanding of how the shutdown in India impacted various aspects of daily life. Ending advice from the director was a good touch.
