    Boring screenplay

    The story was not bad but the screenplay dragged each scene with unnecessary shots that it became impossible to even pretend to like the film... Too much slowmo in the last fight, in fact the whole fight was in slow-motion. Story writing style was pretty old where things were being explained on atom level, c'mon, we are living in net age. People understand things faster than the speed of light.

    However I liked the casting. Shine could've been used better or a bit more of his involvement would have been great.

    Overall an average flick... People who watch movies based on the lead actor in the film would like it a lot 'cause Nivin has done a great job.

    Mass & class with Theatrical Experience

    An intense drama, the theme is a great eye-opener for common people with rooted story telling ! Hat's off to Liju Krishna (not considering the legal battle in his personal life) and Mind Blowing BGM from Govind Vasantha

    1. Why Nivin Pauly isn't recognised at a pan Indian level ?

    2. Topics covered in my mind (High-speed survey stone, twenty-twenty, quarry mafia, tree-felling scam, corporate supporting political leaders, youth of our country, Kannur political rivalry, Religion/culture/ Development based fake politics, Wild life encroachment, Farmers of our country, Land and Ecosystem based politics and Lack of backing for atheletics/sports in our state) while watching this movie.

    Must watch Social relevant movie

    Its a good film discussing about the present political scenerios with brilliant performance from all the actors. Theater experience of Last 10-20min was just💥. Even though the director is a debutant but the film is another level. #LijuKrishna #Nivin #ShammyThilakan #GovindVasantha The background scores was just amazing👏 Overall a good theater experience.👏💥 #PaisaVasool. Its one of the best malayalam film i recently watched. And its a such kind of movie which is to be experienced in theater.

    Making screenplay Dop bgms performance all were just outstanding.

    Nivin Pauly the performer once again revealed his acting skills.

    A good piece of work

    The movie discusses a relevant topic of the current society in a very pleasant manner. The movie was a great experience with its storyline, screenplay, cast and best performance of the actors. The movie speaks about the illegal activities that some political parties do to get power and influence within the general public. Thanks to the direction, the movie had a very pleasant first half and the transformed second half where the main idea of the movie is conveyed to the viewers. The cinematography was also awesome and the movie was able to build the imaginary village in the minds of the views. Overall quality of the movie was great.

    Must watch Movie

    The feeling of watching a good movie after many days.

    Good story and good screenplay. Director liju krishna succeeded in conveying the facts without distorting the film as it is a film discussing politics.

    Nivin Pauly is very happy to have chosen a different role after a long time. No doubt this character will always be the talk of the town.

    Mother and son love felt very emotional in a single moment. The love scenes were also very good.

    Sunnywayne,shine tom chacko also handled their roles well.

    There is no doubt that the other actors handled their roles beautifully.

    Govind vasantha had done his background score well and the song had a good feel.

    Although there are some new characters in the film, it is certain that some will not be forgotten so soon.

    My country is my soil.
