Useless movie
george5198816 October 2022
"Every hero is a bore at last" except Anoop men on he is a bore from day 1. High time Anoop Menon look into another profession, literally everything about him in this movie sucks dialogue, acting and direction. Don't think I can sit through anymore of his crap, please stop making movies man.coming to the movie, truly a useless movie, only positive is ranjith. Coming back to thakkudu his cringe dialogues while trying to flirt women are some of the most uncomfortable scenes I have seen in Malayalam movies. Anoop menon looks like a wanna be teenager the whole movie, especially his clothes, which 46 year dresses up like this?

Over all not bad for an OTT watch
SPHariSP27 October 2022
Honestly I watched it with no expectations. The IMDB rating is also low.

Over all not bad for an OTT watch.

First part there is some fun , usual Anoop Menon intellectual dialogues , beauty worshiping etc. There are few good characters as well. Towards the end it picks up some steam.

Then in between it is some what boring , some forced feminism , unnecessary buji stuff etc.

It has nothing that worth a theater watch, so I understand why the rating is so low. More like a basic story cooked with Anoop Menon flavor.

Nothing more to write. This IMDb useless char limit is killing the fun of reviewing.

Some okayish scenes here and there does not make a good movie.
backupid12316 November 2022
The movie gets a few things right - the Ranjith character, the coming back to childhood home - nostalgia angle, and the things that happened in the house (not the cringeworthy flirting dialogues mouthed by Anoop himself). But some passable scenes here and there without any coherence or contribution to the main revenge plot (which we know is the main plot in the last few minutes ) doesn't make for a good watching experience. The initial gangster portion, the dialogues on the whole and the final act were underwhelming and I honestly enjoyed nothing in those portions. The boyfriend - girlfriend break up scene was too comical and artificial - though they seem to have been in a living together relationship which is a very progressive thing nowadays isn't it? Putting that into a movie must make it progressive too - or so someone had thought.

Overall - watch if you don't have nothing else to do - Anoop Menon is a good actor, a bad screenwriter and a bad director. He needs to concentrate more on acting IMHO.

Exciting Thriller
h-6529118 September 2022
Bhaskara Varma is a land man who was beforehand a substance engineer. One day a supporter visits him and lets him know that his uncle Dasharatha Varma has plans to compose his will, and Bhaskara Varma will get his uncle's properties worth Rs 90 crores (or was it 9 crores?) assuming he consents to visit him. A harsh past makes Bhaskara Varma hesitant initially, however the enticing idea of the proposition makes him go there. What occurs during that visit is what we find in Lord Fish. When the film arrives at the span block, you will nearly fail to remember what the focal person's calling is. Good one.

Amazing Fish
Kaykaypunk18 September 2022
Get a camera. Shoot something. Regardless of how little, regardless of how messy, regardless of whether your companions and your sister star in it. Put your name on it as chief. Presently you're a chief. Incredible chief James Cameron has expressed the above lines to the people who are reluctant to take that first action towards making a film. I think Anoop Menon has applied that way of thinking in making highlight films like Padma and Ruler Fish. In films like Lovely and Trivandrum Cabin, those exchanges were upheld by scenes that requested those discoursed, and, surprisingly, the successions had that associated feel. It was around the time he made Ente Mezhuthiri Athazhangal that the motion pictures began to seem like stages for him to introduce his haphazardly written methods of reasoning.

Amazing Subject Well Told
i-5488818 September 2022
Straight forward yet philosophical discoursed were consistently brand name stuff that made Anoop Menon films appealing. In films like Delightful and Trivandrum Cabin, those exchanges were upheld by scenes that requested those discoursed, and, surprisingly, the successions had that associated feel. It was around the time he made Ente Mezhuthiri Athazhangal that the motion pictures began to seem like stages for him to introduce his arbitrarily written ways of thinking. Assuming that you attempt to portray the account of Lord Fish to somebody, you can undoubtedly avoid the exchanges. As a matter of fact, you could in fact skip successions and characters in this film as it never irritates the principal story.

Must Watch Thriller Movie
f-2154618 September 2022
I don't know if Malayalam cinema has the audience left who sang 'Radio Reminisces Me of My Home Far Away' and bathed in the old memories of Tharavaad. Anyway, 'King Fish' is a movie only for that section which is not completely finished. Films are predictable to the audience. He also drives this film with what is love. The actor who fails in the movies, the maid who tries to forget the memories of domestic violence on purpose are characters in the movie that are different and at the same time Anoop Menon's traits. The actors and actresses coming and going on the screen, the background music and the camera of Mahadevan Thambi are in the mood of the movie. The suspense elements in the film felt weak.

Engaging Narration
Batikhan18 September 2022
Bhaskara Verma is the leading real estate dealer in the city. He is enjoying life with friendships, books and the joys of bachelor life. Meanwhile, he has some mysterious money transactions and gangster connections. Unexpectedly, his long-estranged uncle who brought him up, Dasharatha Varma, invites him back home with the promise of a large fortune. He has a very strong attachment and even animosity towards his uncle and feels something mysterious about the call back. The story is driven by his arrival at his old ancestral home and the subsequent events that take place there. Anoop Menon plays Bhaskara Verma while Ranjith comes on screen as Dasharatha Verma. The story moves forward through the love and hatred between them.

Nice Thriller Movie
a-4169818 September 2022
The first look poster of 'King Fish' was released a few years ago with these famous lyrics of John Denver, Country Roads Take Me Home.. 'Country Roads', the Beatles and John Denver are the big feelings of a generation. It is to that possibility that Anoop Menon has written and directed this film and released such a poster. Traces of that nostalgia have been evident many times in Anoop Menon's conversations. The shooting of 'King Fish' was completed before Corona. The songs of the film received a lot of attention. The release of the film continued to drag on like what Corona did to many small films and to 'King Fish'. Anyway, finally after the festive season releases, 'King Fish' hit the theaters. The film stars Ranjith, Anoop Menon, Durga Krishna, Niranjana Anoop and Divya Pillai in lead roles.

Super Storyline
Laxmanlalmovielover18 September 2022
Have you returned to your favorite places after a long time? Are you haunted by the guilt of wanting to go back? When you see the old rooms, corridors and courtyards that were once everything, do you feel that the memories are pierced and bleeding? Directed by Anoop Menon, King Fish is a film that tells the story of a man who goes back to the ancestral home of buried memories. The film starts with a romantic comedy track and slowly transitions to a thriller and also deals with a topic of contemporary relevance. Anoop Menon is also posing a bold question to the audience that in a society where the social trial of victims of sexual harassment is much discussed, why can't she reveal her name and walk in the society with her head held high?

Excellent Movie
Garryyy18 September 2022
At a certain point in the film, Lord Fish, the servant in the house Anoop Menon's personality visits, offers something significant when he gets some information about a finished up with in the home. As he stands befuddled about that reaction, one more aide in the house lets him know that she could have discovered that from Facebook or WhatsApp. Anoop Menon could have added that inconsequential parody just to make the film a tomfoolery film. However, the composition of the whole film additionally feels precisely that way. Anoop Menon gets in the entirety of his way of thinking and relationship dreams into an obsolete altered equity spine chiller. With an unpredictable content that picks such a large number of immaterial subplots, Lord Fish, best case scenario, is cleaned verbal the runs.

Wellmade Wonderful
e-2478418 September 2022
The film moves forward through songs and dialogues full of romantic literature. Songs from the 60s and popular fiction are frequently referenced in the film. It is completely different from the current filmmaking methods. All this attracts a very small section of the audience while causing a large disaffiliation to another section. The theme of Anoop Menon's film 'Padma', which was finally released, was love. When you reach 'King Fish', it is a journey in search of your roots. But the confusions of love and the journey in search of depth since the time of writing the script continue in 'King Fish'. Now the love dialogues in his movies and the course of love can be predicted by the audience who watch those movies regularly. He also drives this film with what is love. The actor who fails in the movies, the maid who tries to forget the memories of domestic violence on purpose are characters in the movie that are different and at the same time Anoop Menon's traits. The actors and actresses coming and going on the screen, the background music and the camera of Mahadevan Thambi are in the mood of the movie. The suspense elements in the film felt weak.

Interesting Subject
c-22639-1972918 September 2022
John Denver's 'Country Roads' is not just a song that comes and goes in a movie. It comes as a reference at many points in the film. And Barbara Lewis's 'Hey Stranger' comes in just like that. One of the main themes of the film, 'belongingness' or finding a place, is marked in many places in these references. Its central characters, Bhaskara Verma and Dasharatha Verma, are representatives from a time when English songs were popular here. Like the singers who sang these songs, like these music bands, these characters become emotionally insecure after a while. Thus, the story progresses through some romantic images which are not seen much in Malayalam. In these songs, the central characters search for their place.

Thriller Movie💥💥
Janakijaanuu18 September 2022
Like in the majority of his movies, Anoop Menon plays Anoop Menon under an alternate name. Bhaskara Varma is the typical being a tease lone wolf who likes to remain single. Ranjith might have the vibe of a veteran Casanova in that salt n pepper look. However, effortlessness isn't there in the discourse conveyance. Durga Krishna as Kalindhi is that run of the mill Anoop Menon courageous woman with counterarguments. Divya Pillai is there for one flashback melody. Niranjana Anoop's personality has importance in the story, however there isn't a lot of there as far as degree to perform. Big Fish a great thriller.

Intelligent script 👍👍
doncirleone18 September 2022
The story moves forward through love, longing, heartbreak, homesickness, anarchy, Rati, alcoholism, cinema and many other pleasures that are regularly seen in Anoop Menon films. All these are shown on the screen as male pleasures. 'Titipkal' Anoop Menon scenes, dialogues and acting moments are present in the movie from the beginning to the end. And when Ranjith is close, the movie moves in such a mood. In 'King Fish', the audience can see all the events, conversations and fantasies that can happen when they come together. In that way, Anoop Menon is becoming a continuation of screenwriter Anoop Menon in many places. Anoop Menon is trying hard to make the female characters have different personalities in many places even as the film is a festival of male gaze. It succeeded in some places and failed in others.
