Film that makes sense
sreeragmeppadath25 May 2019
I strongly believe that the education system should not be taken as ones qualification.Knowing some syllabus equations does not make someone better and special. To all the parents and upcoming parents,please dont make your kids suffer in private schools.Now the govt schools have all the requirements and modern facilities.I have experience being tortured in a C.M.I school and it was worser than portrayed in the film.

Now coming to the film,it shows how ones practical knowledge is essential for society.You should get educated.But not in the system way,but a mental way.Being living in a communal ruled country,the movie points a strong and smooth need.

sense in nonsense
projectconnect15 October 2020
NONSENSE is a political film, a sports film, a campus film, and above all the politics of nonsense is the politics of humanity. That's what makes this film one of the best. NONSENSE speaks out against all racism, fascism and narcissism that exist in society today through the story told by +1 student Arun Jeevan. Nonsense contains all the beauty of cinema, not just political correctness. Although many say that it is straightforward, the film did not run in theaters because it was activated

Feel good movie...
ksjerrysunny15 October 2018
A new attempt to criticise current education and political systems. Movie deviates sometimes from the thread but overall director manages to keep the pace.. new actors done out of the box, special mention Shajon ,Ajeesh mathew (sreenath) and Vishnu. Camera has done a tremendous job here, appreciated

A Sensinble & Feel Good Movie
johnrealestatein12 October 2018
Nonsense talks about how society needs good human beings too not jusy engineers and doctors in a beautiful way. Every single shot is taken perfect and its a very feel good movie. Rinosh has done his job well and all other casts including the small kids did their roles perfectly. Its a must watch movie.

An unexpected heart touching movie
farha-2222316 October 2018
This was a very unexpected movie. Evryone did justice to their role. I assure you that you will not regret watching this movie. It has a bit of everything. The new face sreenath needs to be mentioned separately because he did an amazing job. Would like to see him more frequently. he has a charm to impress the viewers. A must watch movie.

Light hearted movie
alisonciadrew25 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The cinematography is exceptional. Where the movie feels short is the story. The movie showcased the issues in the society with topics involving sexism, the current schooling system, and political parties causing a havoc but did no effort to redeem those issues. There was no character arc or development in the characters that caused these issues.

One if a Kind movie
cecilberylphilips-976731 December 2018
A master piece-one of a kind movie of the year. It talks about humanity, passion and education system. Besides that it was a full-on entertainer with unforgettable moments and hilarious comments which takes me back to my school days! It's a must watch feel visual treat. All Thanks to MC Jithin and Crew

One-Line Review: Nonsense (6 Stars)
nairtejas24 July 2019
Apart from not understanding the idea of bringing in and celebrating the sport of BMX and ignoring the amateur direction and performances, I found Nonsense as an adventure drama with the right intention, taking us through the life of a good, young Samaritan who sits on the last bench, observes the world with an objective mind, and then helps it move in peace. TN.

Lives up to its name .... Nonsense
varghesejunior31 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Typically a nonsense film.

Watched it with the premise that it would be like Notebook (2006) which was undoubtedly well made and gave nostalgic vibes while dealing with realities of school life.

Starts off portraying the life of a dull but kind hearted schoolboy, and the promos make the film appear as a school days based romantic story. But the film is full of coincidences that drag it from one scenario to a totally different one - school life to public strike to the struggle to save a child's life to a discussion about medicine, interspersed with dialogue and drama and extra scenes that simply prolong this film for nearly 2.5 hours when it could have very well ended within 90 minutes.

And this is in no way a sports film, with the only sports scene being the hero cycling in his bmx bike at times to reach places. Neither is it a love story nor a film based on academics, or human relationships, etc.

Rinosh George and Vinay Fort's roles are the best and commendable, and the songs are melodious, but the direction and script looks messy, and all culminate into an unremarkable ending. And the hero's love interest barely has any role, except for eyeballing him and collecting his scribbles from the dustbins, which again betrays the promos of the film. Perhaps the film could be compared to a recipe that went wrong due to wrong ingredients put in at the wrong time in wrong proportions.

One reality about the world is exemplified in the end (though it may not have been the moral of the film intended) - some people are truly ungrateful, so decide wisely how much you would be willing to do for them (even if you are a so called 'good human being').

It certainly could have been better, even if had it been based on the simple lines of a school goer's life or a romantic tale.

Disappointing thoroughfare.

Must watch feel good movie
adhilvtpp22 May 2019
I don't know how to review this movie . But I should say that everybody should watch this movie. The story line goes through Arun ( rinosh ) his nick name in school is Nonsense . He is a BMX Stunt Lover . I don't know why this movie didn't get a good theatre response such a brilliant work by MC and Team . I think background score can make much better . It is a feel good movie .. keep up the good work brother MC

An inspirational teen movie :) Must watch !!
ardraragnc23 May 2019
Nonsense sounded like a cliche romantic campus drama to me, little did I know that I was in for a surprise. One of the best movies I have watched recently,it revolves around the main character Arun jeevan and his passion for bmx. rinosh has put his best for this movie as well as shruthi who has done justice to her role.Another actor worth mentioning is sreenath who played the role of ajesh. Nonsense is very sensibly discussing some genuine things like the flaws in educational system, humanity ,political drama and harthal issues. Background score is just awesome and hats off Alex j pulickal for the beautiful visuals especially in the chirakukal njn tharam song. Eventhough coming from a debutant director, this movie sure did surprise me with its sheer brilliance.. :)

A much needed conceptu
gvdrjn12 October 2018
A much needed story in the present world of education and society. The casting was good.All performed beyond expectation. A glimpse to the acts in the last row of the class really gives a nostalgic feel to those who have gone through it."I am a Mallu" Rinosh did well in his debut movie itself. The icing on the cake was the Lastbencher year back guy,he didn't act,he lived his character!! Awesome performance Sreenath Babu

Must watch
aswinsreelakshmi23 May 2019
The movie really emphasis on the human side of a student who can grow up to be a great asset even though it is not great at academics. This movie really opens our eyes towards the idea of pushing ourselves to other non conventional or unorthodox professions.

Covers with political party strike and related problems.

BMX awesome 👍

Movie that makes sense . Must watch !
ssupfrens23 May 2019
This is a movie that didn't get its due recognition for being released next to a Big Budget Movie .

It is a must watch for parents and children alike for it take on the education system and people's passions and a quest for Humanity .

I promise you won't regret the movie and Nonsense will definitely make sense to you !

MC Jithin is story teller to watch out for!

A beautiful must watch movie
prabhatkk25 May 2019
It took me back to my school days. There are scenes that makes you laugh so much even when the movie is actually taking you through some serious issues plaguing our society where you see so little of humanity around you but just political and religious bickering. It just make you think how much society has taken several steps back as far as humanity is concerned. Good original acting by the youngsters, great story, script, screen play and direction. Above all this movie touches your heart and makes you think...
