The writer/director of this film Sunil Ibrahim is well known for his works which blended the psychological and unparalleled mindset of human beings into some extraordinary depictions. When we trace back to his earlier films like Chapters and Arikil Oraal we can find this kind of freshness and relate those films with some of the films from Hollywood and Korea. I just thought about the movie Arikil Oraal, which has some faraway resemblance to David Fincher's Seven. Anyway, this kind of narrative pattern and plot orientation is so alien to the Malayalam film industry and thus to the audience and that's why Sunil has some kind of importance. His latest one Roy also follows the same path where the protagonist has some sort of mental disorder. The film simultaneously blends with reality and dreams which confuses the audience in one way or the other. The structural enlargement of the movie is quite odd, in the sense it's going too slow and the viewers find it difficult to get into the core of the movie. When we enter into the actual premise then we feel ordinary in the way of approaching and establishing the things that we mentioned earlier. The thriller effect is not much intriguing and the accompanying background score is ineffective. The simplest kind of narration was the kinetic approach but that kind of making didn't worth it when it amalgamated with the totality of the movie.
