Nizhal the malayalam film directed by Appu N. Bhattathiri and starting Kunchacko Boban, Nayanthara, . Now this is a film that didn't work from his life from the first scene where we see this horrific accident and this horrific CGI bird, the first scene has this accident that makes us suggest that konjac a woman character, he's a judge, that he has a temper, but he is the sweetest person. You keep wanting to pinch his cheeks. The rest of the film is like that.

It keeps introducing new things that keeps introducing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) character who sees rains that nobody else sees that are supernatural elements.

There is a mask that a character batman like mask that a character who has had an accident is using, there is childhood trauma. There's a character who has had a kind of love failure in college and has never come out of it and then therefore has never gotten married and there's a whole bunch of stuff about the subconscious and all of this just does not come together convincingly.

Now the central mystery is very interesting. It's about a little boy who somehow in the middle of his class when all the other kids are writing little cute stories about cats and other things. He comes up with this elaborate murder mystery and it turns out to be a real life murder. Now, how does this little boy whose mother is played by nayanthara? How does this boy know about this murder? That's the central mystery that Kunchacko Boban goes out to solve. But the answer when it arrives is so unconvincing.

Even the lead up to the answer, which is a scene that involves nayanthara and her little son in bed. It's built up like a huge scene. There is very big music and Kunchacko Boban eyes wide and an absolute horror and he apparently sees something shocking. But we the audience don't feel that shock at all. And even the ending is kind of underwhelming because it has done through a brand new character kind of comes out of nowhere and he's not been led up to the screenplay at all. I like one scene that really worked for me where one of the murdered men.

this woman who was supposed to marry him all those years ago. There is a suggestion it's not a spoiler because the scene, like most of the scenes in this movie kind of exists on its own. She kind of suggests that this man who got murdered, he himself may be talking from beyond the grave. Which kind of I wish we had seen that film. Kunchacko Boban and Nayanthara in fine form. But Nizhal is an example. Another example that stars alone cannot make a movie.
