If you like good, realistic thrillers, you should not miss this one.Maheshinte Prathikaram: The movie Maheshinte Prathikaram is a 2016 Malayalamcomedy-drama film directed by Dileesh Pothan and produced by Aashiq Abu. This movie is a slow burn so don't expect the usual over - the top dialogues, flying cars and stuff. This could have been improved, so that the audience would have connected better with this character and his drive to solve the cases. Also, there is no emotional connect with the cop's wife. I do not know what was the intent here, but it gets better later. Not so good: camera is very unsteady in the start. All - round superb acting by everyone here. The direction and screenplay are superb, and you're glued to your seats.
The initial jerky camerawork gets better and the editing is also good, save a few places where it feels too choppy. The supporting characters, cops and robbers have done a good job as well. Vijay's is the main character and he does a great job.
The casting is superb ! And acting is tight all round. Cinema is nice when it mirrors reality and when the core, the story is good. The reason we liked this movie is because it is so natural. After this initial phase, the movie keeps you guessing till the end. When you feel you have everything figured out, you might notice, that more than 1.5 hours of the movie is still remaining so we were like WTF is going on?! Then come the weird, unexplained scenes, teasing of new characters and the twist. He makes use of the resources available to him to the best possible extent. Vijay plays the thinking cop, who goes beyond the superficial and dives into the meta - level information which makes the story so good. This is the rabbit hole the narration wants to take us through. You'll be like "ok, I feel x and y is going to happen next:" and you might be right. Initially this movie looked to be quite predictable.
