~ ' Thalavan' directed by Jis Joy starring Biju Menon and Asif Ali is an Investigation thriller done right. The plot of the film is interesting and keeps you engaged throughout the film. The performances were really good , the entire cast did well , really loved Jaffer Idukki's character , he was hilarious . However the real standouts were Asif Ali as Karthik who did a brillaint job , so happy to see him finally get a good character and a good film. Biju Menon just as always delivers a great performance. The background score of the film is another highlight which is done by Deepak Dev. The film has good frames aswell. As an thriller , it does what it is supposed to do that is to engage you and thrill you. Jis Joy has done a good job directing a crime thriller. Overall it's a good watch.

Finally, Asif Ali made a great decision to act in a movie which has a solid story. I wouldn't say the same about the screenplay but the movie is superb and you won't notice the drawbacks due to the craft of the director- Jis Joy. Biju Menon was great as usual and it's been a long time since we watched him in an 'housefull' theatre. The chemistry between Asid and Menon was great throughout and the production design was also aptly selected by the creators, making this movie unique in its own way. The supporting actors were also superb. Kottayam Naseer has come a long way and I'm happy for him. Finally, he is getting some good and serious roles.

A very neat investigation thriller that is able to be well made with nuanced while being pretty commercial. What I loved the most about the movie other than the perfect pacing of this movie is the theme that all policemen start thinking like criminals. That could raise a lot of questions but it is truly a way of thinking that would help understand and help police in general too. The way the film starts with a "Charithram Enniloode" style show and how the main story is started may not seem the best way to start the movie at first, but it works out great later. The way the film was able to move through so many characters while slowly revealing the small connections throughout was really fun to watch. The intensity brought out by the actors helped a lot too, the acting was really great across the board. The way the movie ended would've made me think they were setting up an unnecessary sequel if they hadn't started the movie they did. Because of how it began and was set up before the actual story began, it was convincing to me that there must be something more to the story even though seemingly everything was tied up. The song felt unnecessary and didn't feel like it matched with how the rest of the movie was going because it directly stood with that character at that point instead of being a spectator. There were a couple of scenes where the editing seemed off, maybe they didn't shoot it keeping the 180 rule, I just noticed that the editing seemed jarring for no reason in those scenes. But these small issues didn't really affect my enjoyment of the film. It's the better investigation movie of the year in Malayalam and I'd be interested in the sequel.

Well written investigation thriller ; good performances of all the actors , especially Asif Ali is fierce and Biju Menon also gave strong performance! Script by newcomers Anand Thevarkkat & Sarath Perumbavoor with sharp direction by Jis Joy is the backbone of the movie with splendid BGM work by deepak dev, cinematography is nice and other technical department done a neat work !!!! Solidly crafted twist and turns and engaging narration from thew start to a very good ending make Thalavan is must watch movie in theatre! Go for this if you love good crime investigative Movies !!! My rating 8.8.

Asif Ali is superb here as a thoughtful, intelligent, introspective Kerala cop who can also have recourse to his fists and sharp retorts to protect himself if necessary. When tasked with solving a murder case he leaves no stone unturned and follows up even the smallest of leads in order to identify the assassin. This fascinating, intelligent film throws out plenty of red herrings, thus sustaining the viewer's interest. In a final twist very similar to classic British detective films, the motive for the killing is revealed to be an historic personal tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Biju Menon also performs well here, and the device of including the narrator for the television crime show and the mad novelist/dramatist add extra narrative voices that strengthen the overall story. Definitely one to watch.

Thalavan is an expansive narrative investigative thriller movie. The film narrates the tale of fabricating a case to get revenge on a police officer. The story indicates the accused characters come to know the truth in their own unique ways. The director of feel-good films, Jis Joy, demonstrated his directing abilities in the thriller genre. Asif Ali and Biju Menon, the main characters, have performed admirably in their roles. The initial half of the script is quite original. However, it then revealed certain differences in the narrative's flow. Similar to previous mystery thrillers, the plot developed as a story within a story. Using this method has the drawback that once the investigator finds out who the leads are to the next part, they will no longer be able to concentrate on the other important individuals in the story. The story moves forward without considering the earlier leads. It was probably a decent twist, but not really good. But after watching the movie, some viewers could feel as though something is missing.
