Fahad excelled not only in the nuanced portrayal of the various shades and times of the character, but also in portraying the extreme situations.
First half is all about the writing which has been brilliantly done and very well directed.
Art direction takes the lead in the second half. The writing might have taken a back seat there and just does finishing touches to bring the art direction to a close.
A R Rahman's background score complemented Fahad's stupendous acting in the second half. There were a few spots where the BGM seemed too loud and distracted the scene.
Unlike the pattern of overwhelm in disaster movies where the viewer has to suffocate through all the tragedy around, "Malayankunju" was laser focused on one plight.
A bit of a slack in the writing in the second half writing is probably what is leaving the movie slightly short of the total satisfaction feeling that some movie experiences give. Even then, it is a recommended watch - amazing art work, top notch performance from Fahad and great writing/direction!
I did not notice much about editing. And when that happens, usually that means the editing has been excellent. Thinking back, I think edits have been excellent. There has never been a distracting edit where the viewer is left wondering what happened there.
