The movie gave a wonderful experience. Direction and casting was spot on. No big names in the casting, still the actors did a pretty good job at executing it wonderfully. Background music was also great and could give the thrilling ambience. Movie is inspired from true incidents and had a moral, which is pretty great.

Movies like this are rare. Just go for it, you wont regret.

Operation Java is one of the best Thriller movie recently seen in Malayalam, we all liked the movie a lot & Prasanth Achacha your acting was superb no words for it. the entire team of operation Java done superbly. Proud of you Prasanth Achacha. You are a Gem of Mallappally. From the day you told me about this movie in that old marriage function we were waiting, so much satisfied after watching a movie. It's showing about temporary workers struggles & gives a good awareness against cybercrimes.

#MovieReview #OperationJava #SpoilerFree

Director Tharun Moorthy has delivered Malayalam's best crime thriller since Anjaam Paathira, effectively blending together three slice-of-life police investigations to deliver a stylish end product.

Lookman and Balu Varghese star as a duo of down-on-their-luck engineering grads who land a temporary internship with the Police Cyber cell using their wit and tenacity.

Their efforts in unravelling a set of cunning online crimes and financial frauds form the rest of the story and the fact that these are inspired by real events adds further sheen.

The director's dedication to portray the story in as realistic a manner as possible is what makes Operation Java such an excellent watch.

Highly recommended.

I'm so happy to experience malayalam movie industries growth. This is one of the best of 2021. Characters + Script + Direction everything was good and everyone done their job well. A great message packed entertaining movie... This movie also reminds each one us to respect our teammate who's trainee/temporary and the value of their contribution.

"Operation Java" shows us the routine mode of operation of Kerala cybercell through the eyes of 2 newly joined technical assistants.

This film itself is based on true crime investigations conducted by cybercell.

Debutant writer- director Tharun Moorthy did a fantastic job in keeping viewers engaged with fast paced screenplay and interesting plot points.

Jakes Bejoy adds to the momentum of film with his apt music scores that.

Film ends with a promise of a continuation.

Very good crime thriller movie. This movie shows the journey of two Btech graduates who are temporary workers. Nice movie worth watching with some good elements of thriller.

Even before its release, the film made a huge splash with trailers, teasers in YouTube!

The film tells the story of Anthony George and Vinayak Das, who go from Salem to become courier boys and food delivery boys without getting a permanent job after engineering.

Balu Varghese and Lukman Avaran are the B Tech cyber youngsters in the lead role. Lukman takes the field to another level with his eloquence in a crucial scene that presents an emotional storyline through dialogue.

But the film does not revolve around them, it goes completely through the script and the making.

The film begins with Alphonse's son's 'Premam' becoming a huge success and its censor copy being leaked on the internet.

Antony and Vinayak Das are approaching SHO Prathap of the Cyber Wing in Kochi with the conclusion that the route found by the police is not behind it.

The first part of Java is that the inspector, impressed by these guys ability, conducts the investigation the way they say.

The film falls on track from the very first frame as it is an investigation of an incident that is familiar and interesting to the Malayalee.

Gathering the audience as well. Java can be used from the beginning to create the impression that it can do justice to the hype received online

Realistic and smart cyber police operations make the film worthwhile.

The director manages to keep the audience curious throughout the operation. Nowhere does it seem like the work of a newcomer, says Tarun Murthy.

Scripting Excellent. Making it's a step ahead.

You can feel the exact homework behind it on the screen.

Operation Java is another film in which a talented director emphasizes that, actors are not an essential element.

As mentioned earlier, it is not the path of these two that is advancing in the investigative paths of cyber policing.

Irshad has the full versatility of a cyber-wing station head. Binu Pappu and Prashant Alexander performed well.

Operation Java came to an unexpected end.

The compulsion to be realistic keeps the dramatic expectations of the traditional audience at bay.

The film ends with the submission of millions of temporary / contract basic / daily wage employees in the Kingdom of India.

A dedication that hooks somewhere inside.

Operation Java.

Kidilan padam ....

Highly Recommended.

There is never a dull moment in this movie, except for maybe that one song sequence. This manages to make us feel convinced that this is how cyber police in Kerala works. We don't feel like any tech stuff they show is out of place. That is all one needs to ask from such a movie. When most movies show tech stuff in an incorrect way, this is breath of fresh air. It feels grounded in reality.

At times it resembled Action Hero Biju. They have stitched together the investigation of several unrelated cyber crime cases in a seamless manner. It's told through the eyes of the two heroes. The story progresses through their viewpoint.

The script doesn't lag anywhere. The comic relief we get is not at all forced and feels very organic.

The acting is very good. There is no one who did their part in a bad way.

The art, costumes, editing departments too did a commendable job.

The only problem I found was that there was a bit too much of melodrama in it. The heroes always seem like they are not at all happy about what they got.

If you want to watch an entertaining film which doesn't have any dull moment in it, go for this.

Excellent making of a cyber crime thriller without any stars There is emotions , laughs , love, suspense , thrill everything nicely packaged The makers deserve praise.

A story about cyber crime that easily could have fit into a 1 1/2 hours got dragged to 2 hours and 40 minutes. Noting new here, many cyber crimes related TV series and movies have been made earlier also. Just watch Jamthara on Netflix instead. Total waste of time.

I started watching this movie without much of expectation..I was prepared to be disappointed but boy was I wrong...This is one of the best movies I have seen recently..Well researched, well thought after and well presented movie.. The casting is perfect and each and every body has done complete justice to their role..This movie proves that you don't need a starcast to make a good movie all you need is a good story and a set of talented and dedicated actors to give you a visual treat and music by Jakes bejoy needs a special mention,this movie would not have been this good with out the gripping and thrilling music...Hats off to the director and to the entire team...Take a bow...U guys deserve it...One of the best movies of 2021.... Highly recommended to everyone...

This is a rare movie and dont miss it just awesome best thriller of 2021.

Operation Java consists of 3 completely different investigation which are related to cyber crime. Another connection is that our 2 leads are helping in these cases. I loved the last one most. In another hand, the film showed the struggle of temporary staffs who work hard but don't get proper recognition and financial benefits for their work.

All three investigations are based on real-life cases, that's why I loved the film even more. There are 3-4 one take shots which were looking so good. Give it a watch, you'll get to know more about Cyber Cell and how it works. I've not seen much films on cyber crime. So, for me it's a brillianty executed film.

Operation Java (2021) : Movie Review -

Cop dramas are supposed to be made for entertainment and mass mania, that's what we say because we have seen such stuff for many years. Many Cop films are made with mass mindset only and only few have been blended with cinematic class. The last i remember is Bollywood thriller flick 'Baby' directed by Neeraj Pandey which had pure cinematic class in it and stayed away from typical mass elements. Enough of Cop films with no classy statements. Malayalam Cinema has cracked a new code of filmmaking in this theme and has redefined the genre forever. Enough of regular cop films where the lead actor will carry out operations on his machoism rather than his intelligence, now it's time for Cyber-Police drama. A high-tech storytelling with thrilling aspects and heartbreaking facts on this bloody system and unknown heroes. Operation Java is a tribute to all those unknown temporary workers of cyber cell and it will surely make you forget all the cop-dramas you have seen in last 60-70 years.

The story revolves around a group of officers and a series of mysteries, events and cases reported before them in the Cyber Cell. It is also about how they plan and execute their operations and how senseless those educated people can be when it comes to falling prey to fake digital fraud. The main target of the film is justifying those two temporary officers who works more passionately than the senior permanant officers but never gets credit for what have they done and an awareness for people on how not be believe any tricks, phone calls, mails which can be harmful. Cyber crime is a serious thing actually, it's an easy medium to fool people and because of indirect transitions and fear of losing dignity many people don't even speak out about it. The level of crime is even worse than the regular crimes like theft, money fraud and others. The film also shows us that how this digital fraudism which includes crimes like Movie Piracy, Viral Videos, Online Job Frauds and Digital Money stealing can destroy someone's life in just few minutes. And then at the end it tears your heart apart with emotional take on shattered dreams of passionate guys and the how our system is responsible for that.

Performance wise all the actors are brilliant but naturally the leading pair of Balu Varghese and Lukman Avaran is truly superlative. The background score is chilling, it makes those scenes look so gripping and thrilling as if we are seeing a grand crime thriller. Technical aspect of the film are fantastic, not a single letdown anywhere. Dialogues are regular just like any of us would use in our dialy life hence, it connects accurately. The idea of dividing those different operations in proper line-up is one of the major highlight of the film. It begins with Movie Piracy, a thing we cinema lovers are ford of. So, first it engages you with this interesting case and then starts unfolding more serious crime files. That poignant attack on system with the emotional ending is perhaps the best climax you'll ever see in any cop-film.

Tharun Moorthy, as director has done achieved something that will be remembered for years. You know, the quality cinema lovers always complaint that a cop-drama can never be classy (those which includes police operations i mean), but with Operation Java Moorthy has broken that myth. Yes, Cop-dramas can be very classy and this film proves it. I mean it's not always about those senseless action flicks and some realistic quality films, but once in a while we can see a film like Operation Java which provides thrill, innovative idea, gripping storytelling, passion, emotions and hard-hitting drama. Overall, Operation Java is the Best Cop-Drama ever made in Indian Cinema. Show me a better cinematic classic than this in Cop genre and I am ready to wait forever.

RATING - 8.5/10*

Nice one. Realistic. Kudos to entire teammmmmm.loving itttttt.

Inspired from cases that were reported under the Cyber Cell department throughout the country, Operation Java opens several investigation files, fictionizes it, and takes us through these cases from the point of view of Antony and Dasan. Striving to make a living through casual jobs, Antony and Dasan dream of making it big someday, but they just don't make it to the shore. To the duo, clinging on to the 'lead' they had found in an interesting case is their only "escape from reality". The Director focuses on two issues here; cyber-crime and unemployment and brings about an equal balance in both core elements. While the subjects of cyber-crimes reveal how frightening and cunning certain Humans can be, the light that falls on Antony and Dasan and their lives make you empathetic and feel pity for them. I felt the first act of the screenplay to be the most interesting and entertaining, whereas better casting and a proper ending would've uplifted 'Operation Angel'. Also, with most of the shots being single takes, as an audience, you feel as if you are one among the group of officers, which is a huge plus point in keeping the audience engaged, and to add to this engagement, there is beaty music from Jakes Bejoy kicking it up a notch. There have been plenty of movies and TV shows that dealt with financial frauds, scams, and cyber-crimes. Operation Java is a mix of these movies and TV shows with a 'home ground' script, and by home ground, what I meant is how much the language audience can relate to. Malayalam cinema yet again proves that it does not need big names on the poster to attract the audience, content is always king in this industry.

Good direction and Gripping screenplay. Actors are all spot on. Good message and relevant subject.

I would have given this movie an 8 star for just the topic they chose to make it on but somewhere as you watch the movie you will wonder where the story is actually going thou in the end they give their message but still after mid half you will feel an unnecessary drag, but still hats off to Malayalam film industry for coming out with such interesting subjects.

The hype created for the film after the theatre release is true, I didn't believe because it's not a film with star cast. Only because of the quality and word from mouth this film became a hit. I would really recommend whoever hasn't watched it till now to do it.

Debut director Tharun Moorthy has given us an outstanding cinematic experience, with perfect background scores. This manages to make us feel convinced that this is how cyber police in Kerala works. We don't feel like any tech stuff they show is out of place. That is all one needs to ask from such a movie. When most movies show tech stuff in an incorrect way, this is breath of fresh air. It feels grounded in reality.

The script doesn't lag anywhere. The comic relief we get is not at all forced and feels very organic.

The acting is very good. There is no one who did their part in a bad way.

You can relate every single cyber crime that is shown, as we have read about it constantly in newspapers. From "Premam" movie leaks to nurses being fooled lakhs of rupees to study abroad these things we have witnessed and still happen.

This is what I call a movie, when you teach people about the wrongs and what I right. When the message of the movie is a sad reality in our the system that is temporary workers don't get the right opportunities, wages or salary & respect in India. That is the truth

A must watch film. There are no Mollywood stars, but there are Mollywood talents that will blow your minds.

Being his first film Tharun has done an excellent job; 10/10 for his hardwork. Casting is very good and all actors did their part amazingly well. Binu Papu's and Lukman's best till date. That 'to be continued' gives me hope. Make a sequel guys.
