Critics Review

3.00

A thriller that thrills in parts

The first half is slow, except for some humorous bit. The second half too suffers from a sluggish pace, save a few thrilling sequences. It is only towards the end that the basic thread is clear to the audience. If you are a fan of Shane, dance and action, Valiyaperuunal will be good one-time watch.(more)

Could Have Been A Relevant Film For This Dark Age

Valiyaperunnal could have been a relevant film for this dark age. It makes an effort, though inadequate, to side with the downtrodden. It contrasts state-sponsored violence against the inescapable whirlpool of violence people like Akkar are caught in. In the first half, it uses the elements of an ethnographic documentary to make an interesting commercial drama. But without an unambiguous language and a directorial sense to separate wheat from chaff, none of this really matters.(more)
