A Megastar shedding his image entirely to select a script like this probably only happens in Malayalam film industry. Rorschach is about a mysterious man from Dubai Luke Antony (Mammootty), settling in rural Kerala and complaints to the police about his missing wife Sofiya. Nobody including police have any information about Luke, definitely not more than what he has told everyone about himself. But the reason for him settling in there is far deeper than his namesake complaint about his missing wife. He is more focused on one family who had lost their son in an accident and his widow running their factory on her own. Obviously Luke's intention is revenge but this isn't some routine revenge drama and this is what makes this movie all the more special.
With a tricky initial 30-35mins which demanded more patience to get immersed into the narrative, the patience really paid off with an awesome interval block. But it was the main reveal in the second half that made this a paisa vasool watch. More than physical revenge, the theme is of destroying another's happiness. So the action scenes serves as circumstantial without taking away much from the story whilst serving up as a treat for the Megastar fans. Another standout performer was Bindu Panicker as Seetha. The scenes where past and present merge is beautifully edited, needless to say editing in this earns all the brownie points.
This is one of those films where highlighting the core plot acts as a major spoiler. This is best enjoyed without reading much about the main plot. Definitely recommended.
