Review of Antony

Antony (2023)
4/10
An old film thread reframed and reused.

Warning: Spoilers
Film felt like a remake of Natturajavu to accommodate Joju and Kalyani. This marks the scarcity of quality stories in Malayalam industry. Though there were inconsistencies with the plot logic in the beginning, it was fixed by the end. Kalyani's acting felt very out of place. I don't think acting is something that is suitable for her or it's her forte. Her character intro was also a bit unbelievable. Nyla's role was the head-scratching one, didn't make any sense. Seemed like a filler role and a possible substitute for the heroine to act as a support for the hero. Fight sequences were below average with some moves hitting average esthetics. Overall, the film lacked the energy Natturajavu had but delivered it in a thematic setting that lies somewhere in the middle of neo-noir and Dileesh's classic films.
