A Clueless Sci-Fi Juggling Between Genres
The ambitiously done, Jenuse Mohammed directorial Nine can be appreciated as an attempt but fails big time to deliver even a barely watchable experience.(more)

Nine is technically a well-made textbook thriller, nothing like anything that has ever been attempted in Malayalam before
Nine is technically a well-made textbook thriller, nothing like anything that has ever been attempted in Malayalam before. Except for the huge scientific backdrop and an air of supernatural built around it, the story is one that we've watched Prithviraj perform time and again. But nevertheless, watch it if you like the thrill of sitting at the edge of your seat with an adrenaline rush running down your spine.(more)

A spooky experimental mystery that raises questions about modern lifestyle. Must Watch!
One wishes that the director had used more silence for us to be absorbed into the atmosphere of the film and Adam had a lot of scenes in the initial portions (the character of Adam feels a bit underwritten). But minor problems aside, what makes 9 work very well is the fact that the layers of sci-fi and horror are used to tell a story about unfocussed parenting, a universal theme that gives a deeper connection with the film.(more)

Far from perfect, but is a sincere effort!
9 has its moments and takes a ride that is pretty new for the Malayali viewer. It may be far from perfect but is a sincere effort for sure.(more)

An engaging tale
The big plus for this film is Jenuse's confidence and clarity in narrating an intricate tale, which almost answers all of our questions despite its ambiguous ending.(more)

The lovely Prithviraj, an intriguing premise share space with confusing treatment of mental health
9 then is not all smooth sailing, but because its missteps largely occur in passing (the mixed-up portrayal of mental health, the use of a stereotypical black-is-for-evil-white-is-for-good colour palette), once it settles into its rhythm, it is never less than entertaining and thought-provoking.(more)

A Sci-fi Film That Comes Into Its Own After It Turns Into A Psychological Thriller
Nine succeeds, to an extent, in covering up the writing flaws with superb production value and technology. The VFX, except for that comical fox, is convincing and creative-especially the star-lit dark sky, the reddish comet, and the black, cloudy ghostly invasion. So was the BGM that effectively gave goosebumps.(more)

Psycho thriller treading unfamiliar terrains
The only problem with Nine is its hurried climax, a grand revelation that lacks its indispensable crescendo. It required more build up and reel time before it slowly evolved to the point through more intriguing clues and calculations. The film features a highly skippable flashback song sequence, but it loses grit when the most crucial moment of the film arrives. Having said that, Nine is hardly mediocre any respect and the film is definitely a different and refreshing watch.(more)
