A well made film!!!

The violence in Attu is quite disturbing. It is in your face a few times and inlcudes a gruesome murder in the climax that is prolonged for quite sometime. The censor certificate at the start of the movie read U/A and this should be one of the biggest jokes in recent times. While the treatment warrants a definite mention, what works against Attu is that it travels mostly on expected lines. It also sort of plays out like a docu drama at times. We have scenes that work more like episodes and a certain flow isn't there with some scenes even ending abruptly. (more)

Attu is watchable for its rawness.

Attu is a life, rather than a film and has a decent story to back it up. It majorly deals with friendship, love, trust, gangsters and a lot of other entities that the characters coexist with. The way Attu has been narrated by director Rathan Linga is good, and the treatment and screenplay are different except for a couple of songs and few commercial elements that could have been avoided. If not for these few negatives, an even stronger conflict, and a slightly higher production value, Attu would have proven to be a very honest and raw attempt. It is a decent try from a new team for its story, screenplay, and performances.(more)
