‘Vela’ directed by debutant Syam Sasi starring
Shane Nigam and
Sunny Wayne in the lead roles have hit the big screens today, November 10. The cop thriller has grabbed the attention of the movie buffs for its unique thread. The film revolves around a police station, where they get a call from a man, complaining about a group of young people, including his minor son consuming drugs. Shane Nigam and Sunny Wayne plays the lead roles, and the initial reports are impressive.
Movie buffs and film group on X (formerly Twitter) have dropped their review on the film. While most of them, agree to the fact that the idea was riveting, a few have pointed out that the film gets repetitive after a point.
A user on X stated that though the film has an interesting idea, the scrip is stretched and get predictable after a point. “Watched #Vela. Interesting idea. Gud making. Shane & Sunny superb. Curiosity works here n there. BGM is quite nice, but a misfit here, very loud, this sub deserved another type of music. Major negative is the script; stretched & predictable after a point. 2.75/5 ONE TIME WATCHABLE,” the X user wrote.
Another film forum shared that they won’t recommend the film to anyone and called it a ‘mediocre thriller’. “#Vela. A stretched out mediocre thriller that is template driven. Because of the generic writing movie becomes predictable(not gripping) after a certain point. Decent performances and okayish direction. Felt like some parts of bgm is not apt for d film. Won't Recommend,” the user wrote.
A movie forum seem to have impressed by the film, and lauded the lead actors Shane Nigam and Sunny Wayne’s performances. “#VelaReview: Dive into the gripping world of ethical dilemmas and intense pursuit in #Vela 🎬✨ Shane Nigam and Sunny Wayne shine in this Malayalam thriller, delivering a cinematic experience that's both thought-provoking and electrifying,” the post read.
