Since Katha Innuvare, the Malayalam movie starring Biju Menon, Methil Devika, Nikhila Vimal, Anusree, Hakim Shajahan, Anu Mohan, Renji Panicker, and Siddique with an impressive tour de force hit theatre today, let’s look at what audience have to say about the film and its theme of love from an unconventional angle that bestows a bizarre narrative on relationships and emotions.
An X User described Katha Innuvare as “a mixed bag” stating that the movie is quite a disappointing experience with good writing and poor direction in the first half and extremely poor writing and direction in the second half. However, Biju Menon and Hakkim Shajahan’s performances were impressive, he added.

Good writing and poor direction in the 1st half.
Poor writing + poor direction in the 2nd half.
Overall a disappointing film with a good performance from Biju Menon & Hakkim Shajahan.

Another user wrote: “Kadha Innuvare” biggest flaw is its slow and unengaging storyline. The film’s inability to hold attention is a major issue, even with Biju Menon‘s notable performance. Unfortunately, his acting alone can’t redeem the film’s overall lacklustre experience.”
Despite the narrating style, some users said that the film deeply delves into the emotional bonding between people which can be considered a romantic drama showcased at a slow pace. The audience also praised that it examines how the relationship between people which has been a refreshing perspective on human emotions is carried throughout the movie.

When it comes to the climax, it contains a twist that raises questions but may leave some viewers feeling that the writer, who is also the director, chose an easy conclusion to make the screenplay more impactful. Despite this, the film offers a well-rounded script filled with emotions, tragedy, humour, and hope.
