Comrde In America Movie Review

         *** SPOILER FREE WITH SPOILER WARNING***

There are only a few instances where people wait for a director's movie more than the actor.This is one of them.

Comrade in America (CIA) is a Malayalam movie directed and produced by Amal Neerad starring  Dulquer Salmaan, Karthika Muralidharan, Chandini Sreedharan, Siddique, Dileesh Pothen, Soubin Shahir and the screenplay is done by Shibin Francis.

Amal Neerad certainly has a different style of filmmaking. All his movies Big B, Sagar Alias Jacky, Anwar, Bachelor Party although average grossers made a cult among the industry. His next movies Kulante Bharya (5 Sundarikal) and Iyobinte Pushtakham are his one of best works.After almost a 3 year long break he is back with a communism theme movie.



The story of CIA is set in in Pala, Kottayam, where the lead character Aji Matthew (Dulquer Salmaan), is a young communist whereas his father (Siddique) is a Congress supporter. Both are from opposite worlds but love each other.Aji's lady love Sarah unexpectedly is forced to go back to the US. The rest of the movie shows Aji’s journey to find his love crossing borders, taking the most dangerous route, hence the tagline, "How far will you go for Love?"

The three cameos which I am so much excited to reveal but will not. Lal Salaam, to the person who casted those three gentlemen actors.😉

The music is composed by Gopi Sundar or some like to call it Copy Sundar😂 was among the best. The background music adds so much to the film. Look out for the portion where Dulquer unfolds his mundu.

Cinematographer Ranadive has done his best to capture some splendid visuals. But I wished Amal Neerad himself should have handled the camera as he did in his previous movies.

The scenes of  Dulquer with Soubin Shahir and Dileesh Pothan are funny with clever use of humor.

Although with good humour, drama, great visuals,  good soundtracks the film lacks a better screenplay. It was a brilliant plot but I guess a better writer was needed to expand the screenplay.
So to conclude this makes it as a unmemorable movie for few. 

A few images where only who have watched the movie will understand😅
