Eerie Drama
8 December 2019 | by shyammukundan – See all my reviews

" Chola" Malayalam movie.

Sanal Kumar Sasidharan with another intense, eerie drama.

The truant school girl out for a day's trip to the city, with her lover boy... plans work out well, except the boy's boss ( Aashan) is driving them from the hill station to the city, who has his own villainous plans. The lover birds had a jolly good time, till the things take a murkier turn. They were forced to stay in a shady lodge for the night, where she gets physically invaded by the Aashan, the boy is helpless and the girl is a hapless victim of circumstances.

Her immature behaviour is taken advantage of, to be, physically abused again. Boy's male hormones erupt as a revenge, to culminate the movie for the climax.

Joju George as the Aashan and Nimisha Sajayan as the school girl has presented their characters with high intensities. The background music is terrific to keep the eerie mood of this presentation. The camera work blots up the beauty of the landscapes and brought the emotional canvas of the story, alive.

8 on 10 for eerie drama, very Serious Watch.

Screenplay is slow, at places, still the mood is not lost.

Unlike Sanal's previous movie, this is has no much social obligations.

You a Serious movie buff ? ..... ... Must Watch.
