'Thalavan,' directed and co-scripted by Jis Joy, along with Sharath Perumbavoor and Anand Thevarkad, has been lauded for its gripping first half, which features several intriguing red herrings. The straightforward narrative initially hooks the audience with its compelling plot. However, the second half has received mixed reviews. The investigation takes a different turn, introducing new suspects and situations, which some viewers found confusing. Additionally, the climax has been criticized for being overly dramatic, resulting in a slightly uneven narrative flow.
