Chaaver had good intentions and a great message to pass along, but the tedious storytelling sadly punctured the beauty of this film
DELICIOUS
-One thing that Chaaver is extremely rich in is symbols!
From the opening scene that zoomed in on a mouse getting ready to eat a roach to Pablo Neruda's poem
-It was encouraging to see the theme of loyalty present across characters
-The photography added a plus to the storytelling with engaging camera movements and placements that were as curious as we were.
-It was quite interesting that the four goons all came from different faiths. Without being a spoiler, when you understand the intent of their murder, it kinda makes sense why they were selected
BLAND
-The storytelling was regrettably slooow and unengaging😭
The movie only got a boost toward the last 20 minutes, this was obviously too late.
The scene sequences seemed detached: one moment we were introduced to Ashokan and his partners and another one we were taken to Arun and his mom who appeared cold toward each other.
The lack of a parallel plot made the scenario redundant and the long scenes impaired the beauty of this film
-The everpresent ominous score made it look as if something gripping was going to happen but nope, we only saw Ashokan and his partners driving and driving in their car😔
-As Chaaver carried an important message, inspirational and thought-provoking dialogues could have been crafted to make it memorable
Joy Mathew has a tendency to make his scenarios tedious as he did with 'Uncle', so sad that we witnessed the same pattern with Chaaver...
