Twins and trauma in a good thriller
Joju George has once again proved that he is an actor with calibre who can breathe life into every role that he plays. The movie is a suspense thriller that never forces anyone to hate or love any of the characters in it. Unlike the contemporary trend, the film belongs to everyone on screen. Iratta is a movie that draws you in, steals your breath and leaves you with pain.(more)

Joju George's double act and a gut-wrenching climax redeems this police procedural
Novelty is in short supply when it comes to the investigation, with scenes which bring back memories of recent police procedurals, of which there have been many in Malayalam. It floats along on the strength of the many sequences revealing the characters of Vinod and Pramod. Still, it is that final revelation which prevents Iratta from becoming just another average procedural.(more)

Joju's dual act leaves a haunting impression
This writing choice makes so much sense once we get to the devastating final moments, before which you might wonder what would�ve happened had they been played by two different actors. I don�t know if it�s true, but I recall someone recently telling me that Pramod and Vinod were roles initially envisioned with two non-twin actors; however, later, Joju decided to play them both owing to the immense scope for performance, which the material of this nature affords. I assume this must have caused Rohit, who directed from his own script, to make an appropriate revision. It�s a clever choice because it sets up a hard-hitting finale that, in my book, trumps the one in Nayattu. As for the pivotal, plot-twisting bits of violence, Iratta believes in the �less is more� adage and brings forth complex psychological implications that got me thinking of what K.G. George or Padmarajan once used to do.(more)
