Movie Analysis.

When coming to the central character, I was skeptical whether family man image star will able to carry such heavy character as his earlier police movies "Fingerprint", "Rahasya Police" was utter disappointment. But here he put the efforts, the character travels through the journey of extreme depression followed by insomnia which Jayaram could able to brought into the screen. To show the character had attained the pre mature ageing, he used to dodder which an audience could able to connect that how much this person is going through his life.

Coming to the other main character, Mammootty, his character passed through a similar kind of trauma. His voice modulation, the expression in his eyes, portrays the pain the character had gone through but when see a film, does this character is unique, this question arises as plot of vengeance had seen a lot & that is why the template adopted in Ozler is no different from Midhun's debut thriller movie "Anjaam Paathira"

When talking about the actress "Anaswara Rajan," only one word "Exceptional Artist." Her character is shown in the flash back. A 2024 girl portraying 1989 girl character so convincingly, Anaswara is establishing herself as one of the TOP Mollywood heroines.

Another notable performance was Jagdeesh. A grey shade but performed in a different way & he just nailed it.

When coming to the technical side, Midhun Manuel with his film making had able to create a mood with the known told script. The 1st half was engaging but when coming to 2nd half especially revelation of the back story we came to know its just an old wine in a new bottle. Midhun Mukundan music especially the intro of the Mammootty character mixed with the Jayaram screen presence, the elevation music was top notch & in many places the suspense tone was inserted so as to keep up the mood and it worked out well.

Overall , not wow factor but still a watchable flick.
