I just picked Sullu to watch by chance. The overview suggested that it could be a tad boring, but that it certainly was not. Though I admit to using the fast forward during several extra slow scenes, some when Jithu is stuck in the cupboard.
The acting, the locations, sets etc are very real. The story is not far fetched, this situation could happen to anyone's child. The typical relationship between parents, father and son of around that age are realistically and well portrayed, as are the flashbacks.
Vasudev the child actor, put in outstanding effort. His expressions ranging from playful, childish behaviour to trying every means to open the cupboard, stoic acceptance when he cant, sheer terror, hallucinations etc. were absolutely real. Hats off Vasu and to the director who brought this out from him. The situations and the rest of the cast are also very good, very relatable, they could be anyone you know.
The sting in the tail is at the end with the viewer left to figure out if Jithu survives ... or not .......
Overall, Sullu is a good movie, worth watching. Can get a bit slow but nothing that cant be fast forwarded through without losing any of the plot.
Saw this on Amazon Primevideo with English subtitles.
