Arikil Oraal :: Review

Movie: Arikil Oraal
Director: Sunil Ibrahim
Cast: Indrajith, Nivin Pauly, Remya Nambeeshan
Cinematographer: Krish Kymal

According to the sources, Arikil Oraal is said to be an 'extra' movie but my opinion is somewhat different. Nivin Pauly, Indrajith and Remya Nambeesan play lead roles in this film which was directed by Sunil Ibrahim. Indrajith plays the role of an Advertising director, Remya Nambeesan is seen as a classical dancer and Nivin Pauly plays the role of a restaurant waiter.

Thrillers are expected to end in a busy cracking the suspense behind the mysterious plots, themselves. They arrive at some conclusions and still wait for surprises. But if the movie goes in the same way we can predict? Writter-Director Sunil Ibrahim's Arikil Oraal leaves you almost in such a situation.

There is an ad agency located in Kochi and Siddharth (Indrajith) has joined the creative section. Veena (Remya Nambeeshan) is his friend and a contemporary dancer. Icha (Nivin Pauly) is her friend and a waiter at a plush restaurant. Soon after Siddharth starts staying with Icha in his room.

Then there are characters like Aarathi (Lena), head of the ad agency and her psychologist friend Sudhir Bose (Pratap Pothen). Now, the entire film is banking on a rather simple plot and more info could spoil all the fun. The film moves ahead on highly predictable lines.

Visuals done by Krish Kymal and Gopi Sundar's tunes are good. Sunil Ibrahim, the Writer-director, whose earlier movie Chapters, has packaged in a competent way.

Among the performances, Indrajith is the one who steals the show in style. Remya Nambeeshan and Nivin Pauly done there part and Pratap Pothen's matured performance is also convincing.

Verdict: Average
