'Theevram' by Roopesh Peethambaran is as the title suggests, an extremely intense movie. The first half creates a suspicious mood with an auto driver, Raghavan always followinga woman, Nimmy. Events lead to the disappearance of the auto driver. It is shown that he is kidnapped by Harshvardhan, Dulquer.
The part before interval is layered with half said words and hidden clues that heightens the suspense.
Dulquer is presented to the audience as fitting star, evoking applause. The kidnap is investigated by Alexander Kurien(Sreenivasan) and his assistant, Ramachandran. Sreenivasan comes across as an intelligent police officer who hides behind a mask of timidity and slothfulness. The second half explains the reason for the kidnap and the murder through aflashback. The flashback presents Maya, (Shikha Nair) as Dulquer's lover. The hidden conspiracy of the first part comes to light.
The film questions judiciary and justice. The wounded heart becomes the centre of the plot. There is raw feel to the movie with lots of flesh and blood shown.
The performance of the cast varied according to the scope andlength of the character. Dulquer, Vishnu Raghav, Vinay Forrt and Sreenivasan gave commendable performances. The music by Roby Abraham produced nothing muchto write about. Cinematography was more or less mediocore. There were three surprise guest appearances too that was the highlight of the second part.
VERDICT - BELOW AVERAGE
