Movie: Theevram (U) Rating : 4/5 I had just watched KAMMATTIPAADAM the previous day before watching THEEVRAM. I had heard a lot about this film and it looked interesting. I had also read somewhere that the Hindi action film BADLAPUR (2015) has an almost similar storyline to this film released in 2012. That steamed up my desire to watch it. And yes, I can say that THEEVRAM is a film which takes itself and it's title very seriously. So, seriously that it thrills till the end. Dulquer Salmaan impresses one more time. This time he has a different role to play. His inner feelings come out as his facial expressions. He's stupendous. The duo of Sreenivasan and Vinay Forrt entertains with its intelligence and also, some cool humour that I couldn't stop laughing at. Anu Mohan as the villain is terrific and menacing. Vishnu Raghav plays his part well. So do Riya Saira and Shikha Nair, in their respective parts. The music is good. Thankfully, the first half is not occupied by any romantic scenes or songs. The story and screenplay are both praiseworthy. Several concepts presented by Roopesh Peethambaran can make you think he's a super genius. The action scenes are terrific, although they are not too much in this film. The film has been shot with a terrific visual technique which makes this film stand out. I can't tell that thing, watch it yourself and you will easily realize. The film has some mild flaws. The first half runs at a great pace with no hindrance to the story and reaches an ultimate interval blockade. But it's in the second half that the film begins to slow down as the flashback episodes start rolling in. The episodes could have been shorter though. Even if around 25 minutes of these episodes had bee trimmed out, one would have found out what's the flashback all about. But since these scenes are light hearted and cleanly entertaining, there's nothing much to bother. Although the film has bloodless action and has scenes which are either investigative, dark or light hearted, yet the film has some extreme scenes of graphic violence, which make you think how come the censor board passed it with a U certificate without deleting these scenes? But that's not a big issue at all. Overall, THEEVRAM is an interesting piece of an artwork by Roopesh Peethambaran. It's Dulquer and the terrific script that together make this film exciting. It's one of the finest action thrillers I have ever seen.

What a worst movie . Very pathetic stroryline.. Complete waste of time

I don't know why Salman chose this script which is too obvious. The débutant director tries to be a Tarantino here and fails terribly. While I liked the first part, I did not know the film was in anti- climax. And unlike other non-linear screenplays, here - it just spoiled the broth. Salman is good but I think Sreenivasan overdid it with his laughter. Vinay Forrt is coming up, I would say. Some comedy scenes were worth laughing but in some sequences, you stay baffled whether to laugh or to be serious. The music is good enough for a plot too slimy and the overall performance by cast is good. Newcomers have done well. Direction is amateurish and the stunt scenes were too rookie without precision. Why I gave it 6/10 is its thriller sequences which makes us think and some good acting by the cast. Bottom Line: Theevram is a very predictable movie and you must not expect anything NEW from this. An average weekend watch maybe, once the DVD arrives. Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES Language: No | Sex: No | Nudity: Mild | Alcohol: No | Smoking: No

Dear Roopesh Peethambaran, incompetent actors, a loud background score and ordinary writing ruined your revenge thriller which can boast of an interesting structure. The hero's sidekick, the heroine and the villain were played by unremarkable actors. The background score was so damn annoying. The blatant comedy track and the long and painfully boring scenes which explained every single aspect of the murder and subsequent revenge ruined the film completely. Dulqer Salman was self conscious in many of the scenes but credit to him for choosing a film with such dark subject matter so early in his career. Sreenivasan, Janardhanan and Vinay Fortt were amusing as the trio of police officers who investigate the case. But the rest of the supporting cast was populated by complete nobodies. The scenes where Dulqer's character tried to make it as a music composer served as a distraction. I noticed that the police procedural scenes had a bluish hue to them. I wonder whether you were inspired by Michael Mann. Ultimately, Theevram is just another silly and mediocre middle class revenge fantasy. Regards, Pimpin. (3/10)

Murder method copied from the TV series DEXTER. Scenes in which you can't even distinguish whether it is comedy or tragedy. Very disappointing. The only good thing the movie could do was expose Dulquer Salmaan's caliber.His performance was awesome so was Sreenivasan's.Everything else was just substandard. There are some good parts which are shadowed by the bad parts. It is obvious that the director is a rookie. Sorry Roopesh Peethambaran, better luck next time.

This movie will haunt you for a lifetime. A very usual story and situations, but the execution will render you speechless. Amazing performance by Dulquer, and it is undoubtedly one of the best in his career. The plot is simple, a man loses his wife, he takes revenge. The screenplay too cannot guarantee anything new. We have all seen these situations and characters a thousand times. But what makes it different is how the makers have delivered and packaged it. Dulquer ruled throughout. The dark image suits him very well. Sreenivasan and Vinay Forrt were awesome. But it was Vinu Mohan who surprised me. He was splendid. The Malayalam film industry is not so familiar with such intense movies, and I think this one is a little ahead of its time. Hope this movie will get recognition it deserves, someday.

One thing I appreciate about this movie is the director's effort of bringing into a new narrative style to the Malayalam industry. The first half was superb and when it was nearing the interval even the viewers were sweating due to excitement, anxiety/tension .The scenes that followed up after the interval were quite disappointing indeed. There was much lagging and some of the jokes didn't quite work out as well. Coming to the performances Dulquar has given a splendid one. He is the main highlight of the film. The young actor shows much promise. Meanwhile Vinay Forrt and Sreenivasan are the show stealer's even thought they are not present throughout the film. Anu Mohan is an actor to be looked out for as he delivers his best. So if you are searching for a different movie experience, I recommend this one. Hope this review was helpful. :)
