#Varathan - Decent first half with thrilling moments and impressive performance from @twitfahadh & @Aishwarya__nair !! Awesome visuals from #LittilSwayamp and wonderful bgm by #SushinShyam. Waiting for the second half. #Varathan - Movie with one of the best massive climax ever in #Malayalam cinema. Such a terrific & energetic performance from @twitfahadh and ever stylish making from @neerad_amal !! The climax is worth for your money. Go for it. ❤ #Varathan - Brilliant revenge thriller with an ok 1st half, good 2nd half & a terrific climax. Wonderful performance from lead two and surprisingly a massive career best from #Sharafudeen. Impressive dop and bgm too. Watch it for an #AmalNeerad style massive thriller.

Showing mass on-screen there is always no replacement for Amal Neerad. And Yes, he is just underlying it. King of action movies is back. #Varathan is high voltage intriguing revenge thriller with out-of-this-world technical quality. Go for it. It is worth your every penny.

#Varathan first half ends without breaking the suspense elements... Nice movie so far. Fahadh Faasil impresses
DMP @DialecticSapien
Very interesting premise till the first half. Subverts the idyllic Kerala village trope. Good dop, music and acting. But my grouse is with the background score. LOUD, inconsistent, manipulative and a let down #Varathan

#Varathan Interval : Though there is nothing new in terms of story-plot the mysterious set up and the overall making is grasping interest so far. #Varathan is yet to finish but yes Amal Neerad is back.....!!!Goosebumps #Varathan When it comes to showing mass on screen nobody beats #AmalNeerad #Varathan is a gripping, spine chilling revenge drama Amal Neerad raises the heat in typical Amal style in the second half after setting the tone in first half #Varathan : Has a wafer thin plot to go about but what sets it apart is how Amal has gone about making it engrossing. Terrific perfos plus the last 30 minutes which could make you whistle to the onscreen antics of the protagonists #Varathan Aishwarya has the meatist role of all and she has just nailed her role to perfection. Fahadh has another day in the office, as usual.. Biggest surprise is Sharafudeen who steals the show with his career best perfo till date #Varathan Technical Side Camera by #LittleSwayamp BGM by Sushin Shyam If you are a fan of the Amal Neerad school of making go for it

#Varathan crispy direction from Amal Neerad. Fahad,Aiswarya and sharafudeen giving their best. Special mention to sharafudeen for his lifetime best performance. Little Swayamp after #parava & #koode has nailed it with his cinematography. Last 30 minutes shows real craftsmanship

#Varathan Good entertaining first half with shades of #StrawDogs in someareas However second half was simply kickass! Last 30 minutes leading up to climax..so many goosebump moments. #FahadFaasil was simply terrific #Aishwarya too! #AmalNeerad is back 4/5 SURESHOT BB Three takeaways from #Varathan 1. If someone calls #SushinShyam as #Anirudh of MTown, it wont be a flattery! His bgm has an impact in elevating many scenes 2. #FahadFaasil is going to get his big hit on blockbuster most likely! 3. #AmalNeerad is back . Expectations on #Bilal
