Kappela Review: A brilliant, Soulful Malayalam film with unpredictable twists; It is a must watch movie, which has beautiful moments of simplicity, fear, dreams and a climax that you won’t fathom up-till the end. The trailer of the film set the tone for movie buffs to take a sure shot dig at the movie.
The theatrical release of Kappela was on 6 March 2020, but couldn’t continue in theaters due the Covid-19 pandemic. With an engrossing story, the movie would surely had the box-office laughing away to the bank. Now streaming on Netflix from June 22, Filmy Keema reviewer caught up with Kappela today.
The Story
Movie starts with heavy rains, camera pans to show glimpses of beautiful Wayanad, and the lead lady innocent Jessy telling her friend, how she longs to see that small backward village into a beautiful town, with shopping malls, theaters, and a beach, and a beach in Wayanad? Yes, she is totally in love with beaches that she only saw once when she was a small kid. Anna Ben, who plays a small-town innocent girl as Jessy, played true to her role and looks so believable.
Handsome Roshan Mathew’s subtle performance is convincing as Vishnu, a friendly guy in the neighborhood, a lovable auto driver and later with changing character, he never went overboard on his expressions.
Sreenath Bhasi, as Roy, who plays a desperate, complicated, unemployed graduate, is spot on, with controlled mannerisms, established characterization and expressions as a rough guy in love with his cousin.
The low budget film mainly revolves around these trio, with all secondary characters strongly contributing to an engrossing watch. The film flaunts many things, a social message, social media perception, appearances can be deceptive, a soft and a beautiful phone romance, all these together is Kapela for you.
A romance drama and a thriller together, it can happen to you and me, can happen anywhere and to anyone.The movie also teaches that anything can change any time. When the lead almost loses everything, only to get back just in time. I do not want to give away the plot, let the twist be intact while you watch Kapela.
Kapela streaming now on Netflix. Yet another Malayalam movie with with a brilliant heartwarming story, which will leave a lasting impression once the movie is over.
