Naradan (2022)
5/10
Compelling script. Below average making.
11 April 2022
Naradan is a story revolving around the news media and its current temptation to revolve around ratings and mockery. Although the story is interesting, the direction is amateur. Ashiq Abu who made the beautiful Mayanadhi with Tovino couldn't recreate the magic again.

Tovino did a good job but has his limitations which he couldn't cross. The character demanded a better actor- Fahad, Prithvi or the big Ms would've suited better. Anna Ben who had her moments in previous films was a failure. Both Tovino and Anna at present has star value but the ability to act doesn't resonate with it.

Indrans was spectacular as munsif judge and Renji Panicker as lawyer was ok. Both of them were the only saving grace of the film. The ending was abrupt and disappointing.

Music and editing department of the film was pathetic. The entire film had lag between lines and at times felt like an art film made by a kid with phone camera.

Naradan had the potential to be a compelling political thriller but ends up as a wet cracker. Even the good script couldn't make up for average acting and bad making.
