Koodasha (2018)
Why you must watch Koodasha
The story is nothing new yet if one does not watch this movie, one is going to miss plenty of surprises. The first surprise is Babu Raj. A man who the people of Kerala know as a villain, a comedian comes back as a hero with a top notch performance. To watch him on screen was as good as watching any superstar. The subtlety of acting, the emotions that played on his face, the eyes...no doubt he gave a power packed performance.
The second surprise came as Aaryan menon. He has a class beyond comparison. Never before seen in a role like this, aaryan was incredibly real. So incredibly real that it was difficult to separate the actor from the character.
The third one was the story. I went in with no expectations but came back with tears in my eyes. A simple one liner but with a twist that becomes almost unbelievable. A psychological thriller is to say the least. You can't classify this movie into a genre. It is entertaining, thrilling and dramatic.
Watch this one. Be surprised.
Lilli (2018)
An edge of the seat thriller that couldnt be made any better
I didnt know anything about the movie when i went to watch it except that i had watched the trailer and it had substance. But the 91 minutes in the theatre left me shocked. It weakened my knees and i wanted to cry and hit some faces at the same time. A power packed performance from some brilliant first time actors. It is not everyday that you get to watch a movie that literally sends some spills down your spine. You cannot expect more than this from a debutant director. Lilli (samyukta) the lead has given an award winning performance. It would be really unbecoming not to mention other actors who did a spectacular job especially lilli's husband, Ajith (Aaryan). I havent seen any of his other movies but after watching this one i have decided to watch his earlier ones. (i would be giving away the plot if i said more about this character) Dont miss this once in a lifetime thriller.
