A Watchable flick
ameerhassan-974238 February 2022
Don't expect a fresh story/idea from lal jose then we can't enjoy the movie . Cinematography and songs were good. It made movie engaging and some comedies are really interesting. It's a cliched movie but it has its good moments too.

Climax is bit awkward Better when compared to other lal jose movies released recently.

A FAMILY MOVIE....

"Meow" as the name indicates soubin always afraid of cats because of an accident happened in his life.

It is a family movie which clearly tells impotance of every members in a family. The movie include comedy scenes, Emotional scenes etc. It also shows the helpfull mentality of old friends.. Overall watchable...

an amusing film
ngandacinema26 August 2022
Meow, meow, meow😺 This was an amusing film with good messages and as always, Soubin Shahir never disappoints!

DELICIOUS

-The editor must have had fun working on Meow. The sound effects and animation amplified the funny and relaxing aspects of the movie. The CGI cat was nicely done

-Soubin Shahir was captain of the ship: He guided the story well and welcomed us into his world. We saw his fears, strengths, weaknesses, struggles, insecurities, and desires

-The desert location was a good pick to center on Dasthaker's life without being too distracted by the Arabian setting

-The storytelling was really entertaining with MANY unique characters gently introduced without confusing us.

-Dasthaker's house was a great demonstration of harmony as it peacefully sheltered Muslims, a Hindu driver, and a Christian maid

-So what did the cat symbolize in Meow? In our humble opinion, it was a symbol of guidance and the presence of Dasthaker's wife

BLAND

-As much as we love Soubin Shahir, it was a little repetitive to see him in almost every scene.

Overall, the story seemed to be evolving very slowly.

Simple movie with Happy Ending
santosh053522 February 2022
Not much twists, no over expectation scenes.. the movie just goes and we should also go with the movie.. it is the story of Dasthu alone and his struggles to meet the ends for the family, others don't have much role.. it is such an emotional ride at the end.. music is the best part and Annapurna song takes you there.. also small message to anti-social elements to keep their business to themselves instead of rubbing on others..

The script is all over the place!
deepthipaul12 February 2022
The story has neither a head nor a tail...hard to believe that no one in the team found this idea to be stupid during the making. And the ending is just so weird. The only thing about the movie I kind of liked was the music.

The 7+ rating is seriously a joke!!

Lal Jose needs to spend some time thinking and deliberating before churning out flop after flop!

Wonderful!
uniquesri13 February 2022
A beautiful movie. Individual faith and people who exploit in the garb of faith, both beautifully portrayed. Family, goodness of a person, strength of wife all beautifully portrayed in this movie. I wish there were more movies like this. Excellent work by the makers.

Kept watching the movie till the climax thinking that something worthwhile will happen but it didn't. Poor acting, poor comedy and so boring. Pointless movie.

Nice entertainment
tsapoorv27 February 2022
The protagonist is struggling with raising three children in the UAE. Adding to the woe, his wife also left him for a small issue. He has panic attacks due to the stress also. How he manages all these are in the rest of the story. Some tolerance issues also beautifully interwoven into the story.

Good and Bad
mathewkurien7 February 2022
The script was really bad however this movie was saved by the cast, director and music. The end result is that it felt like a gooseberry - Hard to stomach but sweet afterwards. While watching it I felt it was bad. But after a few days you realise it was a pretty nice feel good movie. The script was horrendous and stretched out. It had no aim. However it was saved by the cinematography and direction that teleported us to this location and made us feel sympathy for Soubin's character. Mamata looked beautiful in this role. The child actors were also fantastic. As a situational feel good film it was wonderful. But as a story film it was unbearable. It's strange to say these things together. In the end after a few days I feel it was not bad afterall because that character and location was able to leave an impression on your life.

Utter waste
leoselvarajgabrieltvm8 February 2022
Haven't seen this much terrible movie recent times. Very much bored while watching. I don't know why Lal jose made this movie. This movie will surely degrade his achievements till now.

A very good sleeping pill 😴
ahangaarivavachi6 February 2022
Everything about this movie is bad except for a song and few frames. The comedies and emotional elements didn't really workout and felt like a poorly made tv serial. Predictable and cliche story. Poor performance from the lead actors and they had no chemistry at all. It's a good sleeping pill tho. By the way Kudos Mr Lal jose.. you made another flop.

Cringe fest of the year award
krishnaad15 February 2022
Without leaving a doubt you could call this movie a CRINGE.

Kudos to Iqbal and Laljose in degrading the women to lower esteem by making them "a MACHINE delivering BABIES" and caging them inside the house after marriage just to look after the babies and house chores and thereby caring her husband till their last breath.

That's it.

I've never seen a movie this cringe recently.

Verdict: Save the time by doing something productive instead of wasting time.

Avoidable movie
manuk-jayadev20 February 2022
Except few comedies and dialogues nothing else . Waste of time. Lal Jose lost interest or passion in movies it seems . He should take a break. Why they wasted some money in making it abroad . Don't know why they made such a movie.

Could have been a great movie if it had a coherent plot
mehfoos13 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The acting cinematography, characters and portrayal of life in UAE were all great. However, it felt like a loose connection of subplots alone (husband-wife quarrels, child-father bonding, religious orthodoxy, learning to live responsibly, exploitation of illegal migrants in gulf, siblings exploiting mahr, business-ethics and relationships, irrational fear due to trauma: of cats in this case, etc.) without a major plot to drive it all.

It may be fun to watch with kids, perhaps, but there's the lack of a strong plot makes it difficult to watch. So much lost potential!

nothing much there
deepudp16 April 2022
No no.. not like this We expect a lot more from Lal jose-saubin-mamta combo.

We know their caliber.

Somehow, things didn't take off for them in this movie.

The story did have something, but the execution didn't pay off. Even the joke scenes seemed manufactured.

Below average movie
amasiyishgaming17 February 2022
Movie is overrated. It doesn't have a story and even though they're trying to make us laugh throughout the movie it only worked a few times. Mamtha's acting was also below average she usually does better overall it's a boring movie don't watch.

A series of good scenes doesnt make a good movie
ganesh-jayaraman16 March 2022
Excellent start, excellent set of scenes, keeps us 'not-bored', but when I saw the ending, I was like - 1) is that all?

2) If this is what was intended then why to have unnecessary distractions like immigration issue, financial problems for the protagonist, his college reunion, health related panic attacks etc etc?

IMHO - the scenes were interesting, but as a movie, it is just average...

Dragging mysoginist movie
pvsreelakshmypv10 March 2022
Expected a better movie from Lal Jose. Characters didn't have depth including the hero. Songs were average. The women characters didn't have any role. Even the cat didn't have anything to do in the movie. Very insensitive to mental illness.
