Review of Nayattu

Nayattu (2021)
5/10
Stakes are not high enough
13 April 2021
For something marketed as a thriller, this one's stakes were not high enough. The theme was very good. But the execution was not good enough.

At first, the police and their behaviour seemed very realistic. But then, they start overreacting in places which is an off putting thing. There is a bit of exaggeration and bit of melodrama which takes away a lot of the fun. They could have come up with a better story where the stakes are higher.

Film loses its charm by the last portion. All the good build up in the beginning never pays off in the end.

Acting was very good from the three of them, with Kunchacko Boban giving us a very nuanced performance. Nimisha and Joju too were very good, but it's something we have seen before. They have already did those kind of acting before too.

Music too was good. In fact the technical aspects were all very good. Just that the story/script was not impactful enough.
