CIA is 2017s 3rd left branded malayalam film after oru mexican aparatha and sakhavu. But, it has nothing to do with communism or politics, its just another love story.
Plus points of CIA are the first half which is very neat with all commercial elements blended well-humor, romance and action. Amal neerad's making is stylish as usual backed by renadive's dop and the locations were good.
But the whole problem starts with the varanam aayiram meets maryan meets cast away second half where it becomes a survival thriller in which our hero is illegally crossing the Mexican border to reach America. Lack of tension element is clearly evident in this phase where instead of sitting at the edge of your seat one becomes restless in their seat waiting for it to end. Its so boring. And after hero reaches America, his purpose goes vain making us cheated. The love story also is not developed well.
On the whole, CIA is another misfire from amal neerad.
Summary (no spoilers)
This movie is about Aji Mathew who is an adorable, fearless and humble youngster, who lives in a place in Kerala called Pala. He meets an NRI girl Sara in collage; they fall in love despite of their background. Their moments of love did not last long so do his happiness.
My Review (no spoilers)
This movie has a really good and unique plot I have not seen this concept in any other movie. It was filled with a somewhat action, a little adventure but not much thriller. Dulquer did his part well he can't be blamed for the way this movie was directed. Karthika has a lot to do to improve her acting skills, Chandini on the other hand got very less time span in this movie but her acting was noticed among the others. The other notable acting would be Siddique, Dileesh, Soubin and Maniyanpilla Raju. This movie had some really good standout songs. Amal Neerad as a director could have done a better job. The ending of this movie was unpredictable and good.
No I would not recommend people to watch this movie.
My Rating 6/10

CIA- a travel for love and meaning of life
U CAN WATCH UT FOR A EVENING SNACK TIME MOVIE..its best for it
A must watch watch amal neerad film..there is not much of big story but the way the director had made us to feel in this movie makes us great..
Dont expect much in this movie..without expectation watch and get the most fun of it and sure i say climax gives us a worthy satisfaction.there goes the credit to director..and excellent screenplay and amazing DOP BY cameraman.gives us a pleasing throughout the entire movie..
Some drawbacks i feel was..if some story would have been that would been an excellent to dulquer as he can keep this in some good movies list yet its a good movie..it doesnt waste ur time..
Alright, first thing first, the Intro Music of DQ(Kerala Manninayi) made me to checkout Comrade In America and this movie is definitely not about communism or about the communist leaders. It is about the struggle, the hero goes through to reach his lover who is in America without visa and the life lessons that he learns through his arduous journey.
DQ's presence and acting is the only saving grace of the movie. As an audience you neither feel connected nor empathise with any of the characters.
The surprising part of the movie is the casting of Stalin, Karl Marx, Lenin and Che, which was remarkable and they looked so real and believable. Apart from that there is nothing enjoyable about the movie.
