Ottu

*** Ottu : Chapter 2 ( Betrayal ) Movie Review ***

Directed by Fellini TP

Written by S Sanjeev

Starring Kunchacko Boban Arvind Swami in lead role...

Verdict Of the Movie.... Hit.... 3.5/5 ⭐

Plot of the Movie..

Kichu played by Kunjacko Boban wants to shift to Sweden with his girlfriend but for that they need good amount of money...So with the help of his uncle he meets a team who gives him an assignment --- " To get back the memory of a sought after gold smuggler" which is being played by Arvind Swamy & how kichu gets into it and what further he faces during the course of mission forms the rest part of the story...

Positive Factors of The Movie 👍👍👍

1) Arvind Swamy as a cool badass was terrific. He doesn't need the arrogant sound but his silence, subtle performance was enough to make his rivals fear...That performance we could see from Arvind Swamy....

2) Kunjacko Boban is now on a different track which proves him and gives confidence to the audience that once he was being sealed as the Chocolate Boy but now as per the age and his diversified potential he could be placed in any plate of character....

3) Last 30 minutes climax was unpredictable and was an amazing

4) 1st half road trip journey was quite good as it was not just a cliche road journey sequence as it involved a moment of thrill as that end of the road trip was the turning point for the unpredictable climax...

Negative Factors of the Movie

1) Actions were average

2) Songs were average...

3) Jackie Shroff was not convincing...May be he will have more screen presence in Chapter 1 and Chapter 3...

Overall a good to watch movie at the big screen.

It's kind of an experimental movie in Malayalam industry. Similar to old big budget Bollywood and Tamil movies with lots of style elements at the climax. Also the unique way of story telling, which released the 2nd part of the movie first instead of the 1st part.

Everyone in this movie given justice to there roles. Especially Arvind Saamy. The director made a fine decision in selecting the casts of this movie. Instead of Arvind Saamy if he casted some other usual malayalm Heroes then this movie will not catch the eyes of many.

Anyways it's a fairly good entertainer which leaves a build up similar to KGF and other recently made Telugu movies, waiting for Chapter 1 & 3.

I don't know why the movie recieved less appreciation, the movie was so damn good the director really earned a gold star from action thriller fans . The action sequences are good with over the edge suspense and turn of events.

The director took a different path to portray the chapter 2 rather than showing us what really happened in the previous chapter . I guess the newbies were really pissed at this as they were not able to think from the director's point of view.

That being said the perfect choice of cast made it much more entertaining and pleasing. It's been a long time since I've watched a good Malayalam action thriller , and ottu really satisfied me . Once more Malayalam industry just proved its worth.

PS: I pity those who were unable to understand the movie.

The movie has a very good story that has set platforms for a prequel and sequel as the makers intended but is not made well .. It has a very interesting turn of events that could make the movie one of the top notch but average making and acting has made it difficult to stay in focus..

Kunchako Boban and Aravind Swamy made strong performances recently but here they go back to their old average actors.. They failed to establish the development of characters which was the backbone of the movie..

Action sequences also not taken well.. kunchako boban and aravind swamy done maybe just okay but eesha rebba was very bad with the gun that viewers gets difficult to swallow..

But overall made a feeling that there is a good prequel and sequel waiting in this series...

The movie opens with Chapter 2 and the plot looks like a Jason Bourne movie, where the protagonist don't remember his past and the other guy is on a mission to help him get back his memory.

There are many scenes that look odd and many are left unanswered or may be answered in the next part. But the makers have bite more than they can chew. The viewer neither can appreciate or be entertained given it just looks like stitch of incoherent scenes. The songs don't add any relief and just makes the narrative boring.

One can truly appreciate the movie only after all the parts of this movie are released. Till then it's a good attempt.
