Apte

the
female
lead
opposite
Fahadh
Faasil
in
the
movie.
Haram
is

Vinod
Sukumaran
himself.

Deshpande,
Sagarika,
Sreekumar,
Madhupal,
Binoy,
Valsala
Menon,
and
Seenath
play
the
supporting
roles
in
the

the

Haram
Story
Balu
(Fahadh
Faasil)
is
an
IT
professional,
who
works
in
Bangalore.
He
falls
in
love
with
his
colleague
Isha
(Radhika
Apte)
and
she
reciprocates.
The
relationship
develops
soon
and
Balu
and
Isha
get
married.
But
the
couple
later
realises
that
things
are
not
easier
as
they
imagined.
The
couple
soon
drifts
apart
due
to
differences
and
files
for
divorce.
This
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Haram
Cast
And
Performance
Fahadh
Faasil
steals
the
show
with
his
charming
performance
and
this
turns
out
be
the
sole
saving
grace
of
the
movie.
Radhika
Apte,
who
makes
her
Malayalam
debut,
completely
shines
in
the
role
with
her
matured
performance.
Rest
of
the
cast,
including
Rajshri
Deshpande,
Sagarika,
Sreekumar,
Madhupal,
Binoy,
Valsala
Menon
and
Seenath
perfectly
play
their
parts.
Renji
Panicker,
who
makes
a
cameo
appearance,
is
just
ok
in
his
role.
Script
And
Direction
The
ineffective
script
makes
movie
the
dull
and
sluggish.
The
movie,
which
narrates
a
relevant
theme,
fails
to
engage
the
audience.
Haram,
runs
through
a
slow
pace
from
the
beginning
to
climax.
Some
unwanted
elements
were
added
to
the
plot,
which
makes
the
main
story-line
even
more
boring.
Especially,
the
sub-plot
and
some
particular
scenes
looks
totally
irrelevant
and
out
of
place.
Technical
Aspects
Sathish
Kurup's
cinematography
makes
the
movie
a
complete
visual
treat.
The
effective
cinematography
helps
to
conceal
the
inbuilt
boredom
of
the
movie
to
an
extent.
The
editing,
which
is
handled
by
director-writer
Vinod
Sukumaran
himself,
is
completely
ineffective.
Music
And
Background
Score
Songs
composed
by
popular
music
band
Thaikkudam
Bridge
doesn't
meet
expectations.
But
the
band
gains
points
for
the
decent
background
score.
Verdict
A
relevant
theme,
which
fails
to
impress
due
to
ineffective
scripting.
A
total
disappointment.
Fahadh
Faasil
As
Balu
Fahadh
plays
Balu
to
near
perfection
and
his
performance turns
out
be
the
sole
saving
grace
of
the
movie.
Radhika
Apte
Radhika
Apte,
who
makes
her
Malayalam
debut,
completely
shines
in
the
role
with
her
matured
performance.
Relevant
Theme
Haram
revolves
around
the
troubled
marriage
of
Balu
and
Isha,
who
works
for
an
IT
company
in
a
metro
city.
The
movie
talks
about
the
increasing
divorces
and
break-ups.
Inadequate
Screenplay
The
ineffective
script
makes
the
movie
dull
and
sluggish.
The
movie,
which
narrates
a
relevant
theme,
fails
to
engage
the
audience.
Immatured
Narrative
Some
unwanted
elements
are
added
to
the
narrative,
which
makes
the
main
storyline
even
more
boring.
Especially,
the
sub-plot
and
some
particular
scenes
looks
totally

out
of
place.

Editing

Lack
Of
Rhythm
And
Energy
The
movie
lacks
a
rhythm
and
energy,
which
makes
an
interesting
plot
look
boring.
Haram
tests
the
patience
of
the
audience
to
the
core.
Music
And
Background
Score
Songs
composed
by
popular
music
band
Thaikkudam
bridge
are
not
upto
expectations.
But
the
band
scores
with
the
decent
background
score.
Verdict
A

theme,
which
fails
to
impress
due
to
ineffective
scripting.
A
