What is pain, there is a different version of pain in everyone I believe and the actor J is able to portray the pain in any character he assumes. Pain emotion, facial expressions, feelings in body language.

I couldn't stop being thrilled about the attention to detail and detailing the character throughout this movie.

The movie will not end for me, I waited till the end of the cast names to see if there was something after it.

I really feel the art of movies is in the power of pain the characters go through.

Right from the beginning till the last scene I didn't want the movie to get over, other than the minister and the police commissioner, who appeared too immature in their roles, everyone else was a treat to watch.

A definite recommend.

It will leave a tear in your eye, a beat in your heart and be a lesson for life. Beautiful movie.

A beautiful drama suspense whodunit. The story telling and the climax had an 80s Padmarajan movie feeling. Even after the credit rolls the characters will haunt you for sometime which doesn't happen in recent films. Joju george acted so well as twins. They look so different yet same.

A police officer is murdered in the police station while there is a function happening outside the police station. His twin brother who is a senior police officer at the same police station comes to the station from the hospital to find out whodunit. All the back stories are revealed while people are being questioned. A must watch.

Leaves us spell bound at the end. As always Joju George a treat to watch.. such a matured and natural artist. Good acting by entire crew too. Fabulous screenplay and direction.

Watched it on OTT without taking a break to sip water too.. just didn't realise movie ended! Super flow of scenes, story and beautiful and scenic Vagamon. For a new comer , direction is superb indeed.. he has very meticulously ensured to keep the suspence till the end scene

Just could not predict the suspense.. and the end scene leaves us speechless.. there was complete silence in our house and after 24 hours the ending still haunts us

Iratta as good as Joseph movie.

'Iratta' proved again why Malayalam Cinema is the best right now. 'Iratta' means Twin, it's the story of 2 twin brothers and a murder mystery. The screenplay was non-linear and it was important to show it in this way as through this they've shown the past lives of the lead characters. While watching this you may predict certain things but then you'll be facing that big climax.

It'll be very hard to digest that climax as it's too much disturbing. By this the film also delivers some strong social messages. Joju George as both the twin brothers nailed it. He successfully made us feel for both the characters equally, screenplay and direction does the rest. Both the BGM and the songs were used in perfect scenario. 'Thaaraattayi' will haunt me whenever I'll listen to it. A MUST WATCH.

Available on Netflix.

A mystery thriller, as usual Joju George did one of his best performance.

An unique way of narration and somewhat unpredictable twist.

Saying about the twist, I didn't expect an end like this. A well deserving climax to a wonderfully shoot thriller movie.

For some audience the climax might feel like a disturbing one. But this kind of disturbing end is inevitable for a movie like this.

Mollywood film industry produced lots of double role characters in the history of Malayalam movies. No other double role characters which I saw before made any perfect sense comparing with 'Iratta'.

Perfectly delivered script with a proper ending !!!

A Typical Investigative Drama .

If you're in a doubt to watch it or not ?

Then go for it.

Story is expectable?

If you Focus on every scene that's shown, then you can guess it a 3-4 min before it's revealed.

The crew did a good work. The climax is Little bit disturbing if you aren't familiar with dark truths.

By the hype that's all given to its climax. I expected a lot but there's nothing that disturbing for me.

Advice to crime enthusiasts :

If you're trying to find out the culprit or twist in the movie. Then that's going to give you a great disappointment.

Apart from this , The film is a good one to watch.

This film demonstrated how to plot and create believable characters for a double-casting script. Joni George's performances as Vinod and Pramod were outstanding. One cannot truly dislike or adore any of these characters. Absolutely exquisite filmmaking! Seldom do we have the opportunity to view films of this caliber that keep you intrigued, guessing, feeling, emoting, and crying! Do not miss this opportunity in your lifetime, and if you do, do not feel regret. I rarely write reviews of the films I watch. This film inspired me to write a review since I'm not a true movie fan if I don't promote and review films of this caliber.

"Iratta" is a gripping and intense film that tells the story of identical twins Vinod and Pramod, brilliantly portrayed by Joju George.

The film masterfully blends elements of drama and thriller, resulting in a captivating cinematic experience.

One of the most striking aspects of the film is its treatment. The director has taken great care in crafting a visually stunning film, with beautiful shots and a color palette that perfectly complements the mood of each scene.

Additionally, the pacing of the film is spot on, with just the right amount of tension and suspense to keep the audience engaged throughout.

The acting in "Iratta" is truly outstanding. Joju George, Anjali and Arya Salim and the rest of the team is splendid. Their performances are nuanced and emotional, with moments of tenderness, humor, and intensity that bring the characters to life on the screen.

Joju brings a sense of authenticity to his roles, with each character possessing a distinct personality and mannerism.

Overall, "Iratta" is a must-see and well-crafted film for fans of drama and thriller genres and of course of Joju George. With its top-notch treatment, excellent acting, and engrossing storyline, it is a film that will leave a lasting impression on audiences.

Iratta was not bad actually, it's just that it was told in a monotonous way and took a usual path to unveil the mystery😔

DELICIOUS

-Iratta was by far Joju George's best performance. He meticulously added a small flavor that made a big difference in identifying Pramod and his twin Vinod.

-As the saying goes "when you feed a serpent milk, its venom only increases" and that's what we saw in Iratta. When bad conduct is not corrected or punished, it later escalates and causes damages. We'll just stop right here to avoid spoilers 😑

-The rest of the cast supported Joju George really well

BLAND

-Few segments were missing logic: women who have just escaped an abusive and brutal man will not move in with a strange man, however, Malini did so without objection😬 How did officer Bineesh quickly recognize a girl he saw once during a scuffle?

-What seriously deflated Iratta was the typical way the story was told: there was the usual set of already-identified suspects, then additional characters came into the picture, and finally the revelation.

There was not much to look forward to as we had an idea of what was going on. Additionally, it became tedious to constantly see Pramod or Vinod in every scene. The lack of a parallel story affected the movie

-More intriguing and dynamic camera movements could have helped make the film more interactive and spice up the thrill.

No words to Joju George's performance in double roll. He acts through his eyes. Very rare actors show their performance through eyes. It is said that if you want to catch anyone who has done wrong, just look into the eyes. Eyes will give you the correct picture. The movies keeps you guessing throughout about the killer. It is difficult to play double role because you need to get blended in two different characters. Joju's performance keeps the movie pretty much alive. Rest characters are okay. Hats off to the director and the whole team. Joju George has done justice with his stellar performance.

Iratta is a whodunnit thriller is strong emotional affair too. An ASI Vinod dies in the police station due to bullet wounds leading to 3 other policemen turned into suspects. The incident occurs while they were prepping for an event outside the police station, filled with media. It turns into an high priority case and ASI Vinod's twin brother DySP Pramod joins the investigation. Far more dark secrets come out as he starts unraveling the mystery behind his brother's death.

The first act starts on strong note with the three suspects giving their versions of what kind of a person ASI Vinod was while also shedding light on his own enmity with the twin brother. The mystery behind the death is well maintained till the third act which was commendable. The second act tries to pack a bit too much with the flashback involving the twins' childhood days and their abusive father along with the flashback involving Vinod's own redemption after falling in love.

But it is the third act which gives a solid twist, without shying away from the dark nature of the reveal. The narrative indeed reaches it's emotional peak and the performance by Joju George as both Vinod and Pramod elevates the scenes perfectly. If the second act had been better balanced then it would've complimented the third act even more. Iratta is still worth watching for a good thriller movie led by a solid performance by Joju George.

It's been 2-3 days since I watched the movie but I still keep thinking about it, that's how powerful this movie, the climax is something that will haunt you for days. It's quite sad this movie wasn't that successful in theaters because it deserves a lot more attention. Director even though was new, you barely notice that in the direction. Screenplay was so well written. Joju was exceptional in both roles, he is currently 1 of the best in Malayalam cinema. Jithu ashref was outstanding in his small role, he will have his own spot in the industry soon. The 2 Miscast in the movie was srinda and Arya salim, both are really good actors but some reason, didn't blend well in these roles.

I see everyone is gushing over the climax, but hardly anyone is mentioning how excellent the build-up has been, particularly in the first half. However, the second half has clearly found it difficult to find its footing, and this is where the momentum drastically dropped as the inescapable expository instruments took precedence over the previous course of action.

This was the segment I had issues with (I disliked the love track between Vinod & Malini; it felt like a trifling, pitiful attempt to plot a secondary sub-plot), thankfully, the grand finale commences soon after and concluding moments seemed to have paid off its dividends and delivered what could be regarded as one unexpected yet convincing closure. That not only tends to shock and captivate but also propagates a lasting impact!

What do you say about a cinema where you are just gobsmacked to the core. When you had had an experience that can be best described or rather words fall short to describe it. Splendid, Marvelous, Brilliant, seem less in comparison.

Having being an ardent fan of Cinema coming out of Malayalam industry, one thing that never disappointed me was the lack of content but recent history has not been their best. But as we all know and can agree that Malayalam industry at it's worst is still the finest of all, imagine what they do when they are at the top of their game. And that's exactly what Iratta is.

CINEMA at it's finest best. Just watch it.

Fist few minutes, the movie goes in all directions bringing every character to the story. From the first scene we are expecting something to happen. Director has kept the pace of the movie till the end, building up the suspense in every scene.

Good unexpected twist at the climax. But, the week characterization makes it unrealistic. The reason for the twist and the character is not very strong and unbelievable. It is also unbelievable that the entire family ends up in the same job.

Also, the director hasn't brought some of the character crucial for the climax in the interrogation.

Good weekend watch.

Thought.this would be something like 'Thadam'. But man, this is next level.

Even though the location and the plot is so simple, yet it is so captivating.

The simplicity is what worked for the film. Every little detail leading upto the incredible climax.

Joju Geroge is just fantastic. While some may say that the entirity of the film is slow-paced and average,I like it the best.

The backstory of the twins is so convincing. It contains the perfect amount of suspense, nothing overboard. Every characters have done justice to their roles.

It would not be a suprise if Bollywood come with a remake of this very soon.

Iratta (2023) : Brief Review -

Definitely a disturbing thriller on an excessively scavenger character, but no match to Villeneuve's masterpiece "Incendies." Somehow, I don't know how, but the internet users are of the opinion that Iratta is something like Incendies. I can read those comments on YouTube, Twitter, and insta all the time whenever there is a post about these two films. Actually, Iratta is different, and I can confirm that for you. Yes, you might connect the dots by saying that it's the rape of a blood relative that makes these two films similar, but it really doesn't work like that. Iratta is an investigation thriller about twins, one good cop and the other bad and a womanizer. It's very well known to everyone that the bad one deserves to be dead, but what's the reason? Coincidentally, I saw Maharaja recently, where similar revenge and redemption theories met each other on the same matter-the rape of a blood relative. That's not a spoiler for smart movie buffs, I feel. Iratta definitely comes to that disturbing ending after an engaging investigation and leaves your heart in pain. But it's definitely not as brutal and painful as Incendies. The reason is the moral assassination of the character. Right from the first scene, we know he is a bad guy. He doesn't deserve to wear that police uniform. So ideally, you can't feel too disturbed or shattered about such a character. Iratta also has several other characters in the bad light. Even the good cop is a drunkard. A lady cop with a husband and a son is busy having a sexual relationship with a male cop. All these things somewhat lead you to despise these people. I personally don't like to see police officers in this manner. I know some can be bad; actually, some are bad, but let's not defame them like this. Rest, a gripping thriller with some shock value for sure.

RATING - 7/10*

Recently seen movie on Netflix...like mostly Malayalam movie it starts with murder of police cope inside police station and then goes to emotional and investigation parts....movie is well written. Complex subject is described in dramatic way... movie is like roller coaster ride... sometimes you feel for both main actors... relationship between twin brothers and their troubled past is convenient...film has monotonous screenplay which is not for mass audience... even last 20 minutes are extremely well written.for that movie is like gem..you should definitely watch the movie... emotional angle in movie is top notch.

Nna Thaan Case Kodu, Thankam, Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam have been such horrible and pointless movies that Iratta stands out like a beacon among the rot that is hailed as great/landmark movies by film critics with liberal ideology.

Joju George has emerged a powerhouse of an actor after a slow and indifferent start to his career. Joseph was the start of the good things to come. This is a scintilatting performance by the much gifted actor.

The movie is an amalgamation of a murder mystery and an emotional tale. The screenplay is near perfect except for role of Malini which adds flab to the proceedings and which is used only to extend the duration of the movie.

The technical aspects is just passable, however the excellent music adds a lot of heft to the progress of the movie.

Movies like Iratta have become a rarity these days in Malayalam Cinema.

The making is excellent, but it appears that the makers watched Incendies and made the story around it. The story line is gripping, but once Joju takes over investigation, everything solves itself too easily, to reveal the climax inspired from Canadian movie Incendies. Joju shines as both the good and the bad cop, and has plenty of opportunity to bring out his acting chops. Most of the other actors do not have much scope to perform, but see through their roles without issues. A good start by the debutant director who manages to keep the investigation edgy till the last half an hour, and kudos to the makers as well for bringing this to life.
