The thriller still manages to keep it balanced, not going overboard with its elements of suspense, and giving small highs until the end.

2024 · The News Minute · Apr 2024

Varshangalkku Shesham is a tribute to cinema and friendship, with Pranav Mohanlal delivering an eccentric and memorable performance that anchors the film's exploration of passion, ambition, and the bonds between friends.

It is a joy to see Mohanlal not having to play the loud and overbearing wisecracker yet again. Somewhere between the many moments of sad cliches and superfluous lines in Jeethu Joseph's new Mohanlal film Neru, an engaging court drama can be uncovered.

The mood of the film is more mass-lite, treading somewhere between heroic and grounded. At more than 160 minutes, the film stays engaging and almost unapologetically violent, while trying to show the human element in tragedy.

How Jithu manages to bring it out with a curious mix of horror and humour is what makes it a great debut by him, helped by brilliant performances from a relatively new cast, and the music of Sushin Syam. With such a package, the horror and the comedy come off really well.
