Movie Review : Kapaan

Where to watch : Amazon Prime Video

Can watch once : of course yes

Waste of time : probably not

Actor Surya has his usual charm. And Lalettan has done simply wow in his befitting role. I had come across some gossips that the role that Mohanlal plays is that of Modiji. The fact holds that the dressing seems the same in some scenes. I didn't find any other similarities what so ever. I will yet run a search and get back on that. But for everything else, the movie is a good one to just watch through without asking too many logical questions.

The thing that I cudnt digest is that, they could have taken the king role of a chief minister or so. Why PM? The whole logic of all the people in Delhi and parliment speaking in Tamil seemed so off for me.

Arya's role could have been made a tad bit better. But his dialogue renditions were good. PM sneaking out on a party and getting drunk seemed rather out of the arena. That's probably we have our notions of the PM of India, and somewhere we feel wronged.

The storyline of the farmers, and the traditional farming system was much needed in today's world. It's a common sight to see farm lands being converted to mines and the scene where Mohanlal gives a befitting reply to the industrialist (Boman Irani) was too good to believe to happen in real. The concept of the Caelifera bugs and how they can destroy the fields seemed rather scary. But that's one truth that there are and could have been done earlier itself.

Overall a good movie to sit back and watch with the aura of Mohanlal Sir and Surya.
