Theevram (2012)

Dear Roopesh Peethambaran, incompetent actors, a loud background score and ordinary writing ruined your revenge thriller which can boast of an interesting structure. The hero's sidekick, the heroine and the villain were played by unremarkable actors. The background score was so damn annoying. The blatant comedy track and the long and painfully boring scenes which explained every single aspect of the murder and subsequent revenge ruined the film completely. Dulqer Salman was self conscious in many of the scenes but credit to him for choosing a film with such dark subject matter so early in his career. Sreenivasan, Janardhanan and Vinay Fortt were amusing as the trio of police officers who investigate the case. But the rest of the supporting cast was populated by complete nobodies. The scenes where Dulqer's character tried to make it as a music composer served as a distraction. I noticed that the police procedural scenes had a bluish hue to them. I wonder whether you were inspired by Michael Mann. Ultimately, Theevram is just another silly and mediocre middle class revenge fantasy. Regards, Pimpin. (3/10)

facts - no charters are important the only thing that is important is what's going on in the movie. completely beats some of the old American thrillers given music in the movie at all shots will confuse you with other thoughts you can't predict who or how he did it . was good script. excellent thinking of a young artist and that com-pained with cultural diffusion. what a great movie . everyone who loves movie should watch this movie because this is a unbeatable story that make you only think about the movie for all that time. great quality language used was one of the major plus points and then team work was involved in this movie with all the people who were behind he scene.

Theevram is a well-packaged crime drama that primarily scores due to it's music and also an intense performance from Dulquer Salman.Dulquer Salman is just few films young yet has already begun carrying a movie on his shoulder. There's no doubt acting is in the genes and this can easily be seen in the emotional scenes conveyed effortlessly by him. Shikha Nair as his wife is another promising, upcoming actor. She's exuberant and provides the sunny side in this otherwise dark story. The other important supporting actors are also impressive here like the veteran Sreenivasan who excels as the cop Alexander, Vishnu Raghav as Harsha's buddy Dr.Roy, Riya Saira as Dr.Roy's love and also Vinay Forrt as Alexander's assistant, Ramachandran. This is a debut movie for Shikha Nair and Anu Raghavan(in a negative role as an auto driver) however, both portray their characters with lots of confidence on screen.The music is another pillar of strength for this move beside Dulquer. The background score and all the songs have a catchy, engaging tunes and my personal favs are the theme song Mannake sung by the music director Roby and also the positive, cheery Innariyathe by Vineeth Srinivasan and Shweta Mohan.For a debut direction, what Roopesh Peethambaran has done is commendable and it's a really pleasant surprise to know that he was the junior Mohanlal in Sphadikam :) I felt the camera-work could have been a notch higher, especially in the beginning scenes which should have actually left a scorching pace for the rest of the movie to follow. And although, the story in general made for an absorbing view, I wished the ending had the same sense of impact that we felt when Dulquer first shows up on screen.The film has its share of violent scenes, so I wouldn't recommend this a safe viewing for kids.Verdict: A treat for Dulquer fans. Another angry young man rises in Malayalam cinema :)

Murder method copied from the TV series DEXTER.Scenes in which you can't even distinguish whether it is comedy or tragedy. Very disappointing.The only good thing the movie could do was expose Dulquer Salmaan's caliber.His performance was awesome so was Sreenivasan's.Everything else was just substandard. There are some good parts which are shadowed by the bad parts.It is obvious that the director is a rookie. Sorry Roopesh Peethambaran, better luck next time.
