Friendly Review : Chaver

Oh no, it sounds like “Chaaver (Suicide Squad)” didn’t quite hit the mark for you! It’s disappointing when a movie leaves you feeling like the audience became the Suicide Squad themselves. That’s quite a powerful one-line review! It’s great to hear that the technical aspects of the movie were well done, and the background music (BGM) added to the overall experience. Kudos to Kunchacko for putting in the effort to deliver something different! However, it’s unfortunate that there were negative factors that impacted your enjoyment of the movie. A weak storyline can really take away the excitement while watching. It’s also frustrating when the BGM is slotted at the wrong place, leading to a sense of confusion for the audience. It’s a shame that Antony Pepe’s casting felt like a misfit. And a disappointing climax can really bring down the overall experience. It’s understandable that you felt a disconnect between the movie and the audience. It’s disappointing when a movie turns out to be a total disaster. Thanks for sharing your honest review! 😔🎬

Oh man, it’s such a bummer when the writing of a film turns out to be a huge letdown, right? I totally get what you mean about Tinu Pappachan’s enthusiasm being evident throughout the film. Sometimes, though, it can be a bit too much and not fully translate into a satisfying experience. From what you’ve described, it sounds like “Chaaver” had potential as a one-liner, but unfortunately, scene-by-scene, the excitement fizzled out early on. It’s disappointing when a screenplay chooses to take the beaten path and doesn’t put much effort into character development or building emotional depth.

I can see how the attempts to make a character’s death feel sad and remorseful fell flat, especially with the use of Theyyam as an art form to amplify those emotions. It’s a shame when something that was meant to hit the mark doesn’t quite deliver. On the bright side, it’s great to hear that the visual aspects of the film were commendable, with the cinematographer capturing those incredible night shots. However, it’s a bummer when excessive use of slo-mo ends up dampening the overall experience. It’s also disappointing when none of the characters stick, even when Kunchacko Boban manages to look the part. The writing can really make or break a character’s impact, right?

It’s interesting that Arjun Ashokan’s character seems to get caught up in the mess involuntarily, but you couldn’t find a solid reason for him to be part of the crew. It’s frustrating when a character’s presence doesn’t contribute much to the story and could easily be dropped without affecting the film. The political backstabbing and casteist angles, if not executed well, can definitely come across as weak and add to the feeling of the film being worn-out.

On a positive note, it’s awesome that Justin Varghese’s score was fantastic! Music can really elevate a film, and it’s great that it added something special to “Chaaver.” Without it, it might have been an absolute snooze fest. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the film! 🙌🎥
