Pathaam Valav ( 10th Turn) starring Suraj Venjaramood, Indrajit Sukumaran, Aditi Ravi in lead role...

Verdict of The Movie : Above Average

Plot of the Movie: Indrajit Sukumaran playing as Inspector is given a duty to get back a prisoner who is yet to come back to jail as his parole is over...

But when he nabs Solomon alias Suraj Venjaramood he comes to know the story of his life and how it changes his thinking towards the law forms the rest part of the story...

1) Story based on the child abuse which we often hear a lot but executed in a different way which was quite convincing....

2) Notable performance of Suraj Venjaramood as after Jana Gana Mana, another strong performance from his side... He was the pillar...

3) Aditi Ravi done quite a good performance...

4) Indrajit was good but after watching his constant police roles in Kurup, Night Drive nothing different kind of performance being visible from his side....

5) Predictable Climax....

6) Location was apt for the story...

7) Cinematography, Direction was well executed...

Overall a One Time Watchable Movie.

A decent thriller flick with a not so complicated story . We have seen the story before but the making is good. Soundtrack of the movie is well executed and makes the movie better. Good performances from the leads also makes the movie a one time watch worthy.

Saw it few days ago on OTT. Iam not gonna get into the details of the movie even though there isn't much to spoil

Movie deals with current socio-political issues and how justice is not always served to a common man. Despite dealing with such hot topic, the movie is really bland without any flavors. Its predictable and uninspiring even with the twist.

It started good and I was waiting for it to pick-up the plot and move on. But it didn't happen. It was on the same 'bland' path till the end and I was bored when the twist hit. There was lots of emotion going on in many scenes but none felt convincing enough for the twist and it felt too forced.

We are recently experiencing an explosion of these uninspiring murder mystery/ investigation movies. This is just one of them.

People who have rated this movie as bore is expecting miracle from the movie maybe. However this movie has an excellent performance along with some excellent soundtrack. Certain things are predictable however the movie has its own unexpected twist and turn.

Nobody has actually overacted or underperformed in this movie. The show stealer is of course suraj but indrajit has also delivered powerful acting. Aditi ravi has portrayed her role very nice. Those having daughters would be more cautious after watching this movie. Only 1 thing ... mostly during church festivals the church is not usually this empty as shown in the movie so tha major incident which happened inside the church is little out of place.

Predictable story line. Not worth a watch! A movie made zero storyline and zero though put into it. I watched this movie for Suraj but very disappointed. This movie was more like a South Indian soap opera with religious background music. Not even good compared to Joseph!

With the two main leads Joju George's Joseph and Mohanlal's Shikkar, M Padmakumar has already proven that he can conjure up intense and gripping thrillers based on real-life incidents. What aided him in those steller ventures are most importantly its scripts - by Shahi Kabir and Suresh Babu, respectively. Aditi Ravi, Swasika, Sudheer Karmana, Major Ravi, Nisthar Ahmed and Ajmal Ameer in the lead roles.

This must go down as the most unengaging thriller in near times. The script fell short at many places leaving audience staring at screen for a good amount of time with no clue but watching a Indrajith or Suraj doing nothing.

Told to be based on a true story with a scope to include family sentiments.. the movie failed in showcasing the family moments, and the lovely interactions between the child and parents are limited to a song which is quite pleasing to hear. The rest of the movie is a pain to watch.

If only the story of suraj and his family is more engaging than a mere aditi eloping with him to give birth to a baby in the course of a two min song and losing the child after 10 mins or so.. nothing was felt by the audience whatsoever to shed a tear because of the terrible pace at which things happened.

Not to mention the hapless dad Indrajith stuck in a high range area with a criminal on loose and unable to be with his wife during her delivery time. Those moments could've picturised more vividly than showing the beauty of Idukki and slow motion action.

The director got the best talents on board yet failed miserably in bringing out the best in them due to lackluster script and snail paced story telling (especially first half) This much-told story is not worth theatre time you can easily watch after ott release and skip without any guilt!

Peace out!

M Padmakumar back in his favourite space. With phenomenal actors like Suraj and indrajith the intensity of drama is another level. Suraj and indrajith portraying the conflicts of their respective characters reminded Joju and Dileesh Pothan from Joseph. Joseph was more of thriller while this is pure family drama.

RATED 4/10 Language: Malayalam Source: Nil

The movie making and cast is ultimate, other than that nothing appreciable thing in this movie. The movie is HIGHLY predictable from the beginning to end. The flashback also not connecting and ended up another simple revenge drama. The location and camera work was really good, but spoiled by the uninteresting screenplay.

There are good amount of emotions and sentiments, but presented in the same old way which we had seen thousand times in other movies. Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

--just to fill 600 characters repeated below Highly disappointed with this unoriginal drama.

Pathaam Valavu was a nice effort with a beautiful-looking cast.

We don't know why and how but for the first time ever, we watched a movie being completely unmoved 😳. The plot resembled the many we've seen in the past, every element was predictable

DELICIOUS

-Cast selection was well executed. Suraj and the family were a great match 😊

-The film shed a great light on elopements and sent us a message to respect lovers' wishes for marriage.

BLAND

-The movie was not a novel tale, even the tormenting segment it contained was very much expected. The design of each character was quite typical in addition to the cinematography, color grading, and acting.

We were just like spectators while watching Pathaam Valavu as everything was predictable...

Patham Valav revolves around Suraj Venjaramoodu's character Solomon,who is a convict out on parole. After he doesn't return even after his parole term has ended, a police team is sent to bring him back. The cops are led by sub inspector M Sethunath (Indrajith Sukumaran), who has to reach the hospital for his wife's delivery but is given this last-minute assignment. Rest of the characters handled by Aditi Ravi, Swasika, Sudheer Karmana, Major Ravi, Nisthar Ahmed and Ajmal Ameer.

Well directed movie by M Padmakumar,stared by Indrajith Sukumaran, Suraj Venjaramood in the lead. The movie revolves around a cop, who is on the hunt for a convict. The film required either a gripping narrative or had to be a strong emotional drama that explored the ramifications of the shocking incident; but here it gets trapped in between, doing justice to none.

"why did you choose this script, Suraj?"+

"There is something off, with Indrajith. There are scenes, where I, can't decide if he is being serious, or he is about to crack a joke" +

"The aerial shots, the location nor Suraj, is able to save this movie"+

"The female lead's acting, was way better and felt realistic, than the rest of the cast" +

"Was that supposed to be a TWISTING climax?" + "BGM could have been better"

"The gravity of the crime was not felt throughout the movie, and it was kinda lame"+

"Not being, able to relate the movie title and the movie"+

"Indrajith had a very constant emotional face and I, felt that, he was just lost and as if he was trying to fit into the character "

= Pathaam Valavu.

Directed by M. Padma kumar, Story starts with Indrajith being an efficient police officer, his wife is about to give birth. He goes to tackle the case of a missing guy in parole before taking leave. The guy is Suraj and he's on a mission, of vengeance against the people who destroyed his beautiful small happy family. The suspense was fantastic. Absolutely loved it. The justice has to come from a daughter's father. The acting, by everyone, is amazing. Suraj Venjaramoodu is just at a different level. We are blessed to have an actor like that in our language. Absolutely phenomenal. Overall great movie.
