Kannur Squad (2023)
6/10
Upgraded version of Kuttavum Shikshayum
24 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
*Disclaimer- A review from POV of a north Indian* Pros- 1) The biggest positive for this movie is actor Mamoothy. He knows how to churn out the best acting and to connect with the mass, obviously he is very experienced and legendary actor.

2) This film has the similar plot as of the 2022 released Malayalam movie 'Kuttavum Shikshayum' but somehow a new storyline has been woven across the same basic plot which feels much better than the 2022 film. If one has not seen Kuttavum Shikshayum then this movie would be a much better viewing experience for him/her. Infact people should watch this movie instead of Kuttavum 😂.

3) Editing part is crisp, you won't feel that movie is being slow in the whole runtime.

4) Cops are also human and bound to do human error which is shown properly in this movie. Also there is a image of cops being lazy, corrupt, aggressive and kind of goons which is correct for some of them but there are also good cops who work 24*7 without any personal benefit just to solve case and this movie shows both sides.

Cons- This movie has taken lesson from Kuttavum shikshayum about doing research about north before making film about north but still there are many loopholes in the research.

1) You are showing Faizabad location and then showing hilly area near Faizabad 😂. Faizabad is a plain area and there are no hills in radius of 50 kilometers from Ayodhya/Faizabad. Maybe people from Kerala are not aware about this fact but does the director thinks that North Indians will not see this movie 😋.

2) North Indians are comparatively aggressive which I agree and it's shown in the movie but there is a difference between being aggressive and being criminal. Not everyone starts beating police in North 😂😂. This is a basic fault shown in both Kuttavum Shikshayum and Kannur Squad. In the village scene at night when the squad reaches investigating about the killers whole village gathers and starts chasing policemen with arms and sickles 😆😆😆 I mean WTF. Do Kerala people think that all north Indian think about is murdering policemen 😂😂, people will gather to understand the issue they will not start chasing you with swords and sticks 😄. Similar scene is shown at Payagpur station, even if the squad people don't know hindi very much but if they shout "Police" then north Indians will understand that they are from Police 😂. At station also people started chasing police 😂😂. These two scenes are too biased towards north India.

Conclusion- it's a good movie but I would like to request directors from kerala that please make good movies and try to unite India not divide North & South India 🤣🤣
