is
a
crime
drama,
which
stars
Prithviraj,
Nivin
Pauly
and
Bhavana
in
the
lead
roles.
The
movie
is
directed
by
Shyamaprasad
and
penned
by
Ajayan
Venugopalan.

is
produced
by
Dr.
S
Sajikumar,
under
the

Films.
Ivide
Plot
Varun
Blake
(Prithviraj)
is
an
Indian
who
migrates
to
America
at
the
age
of
6.
His
Indian
identity
has
caused
some
issues
in
his
childhood,
which
results
in
his
hatred
towards
India
and
Indians.
He
is
extremely
sensitive,
short-tempered
in
nature
amd
indecisive,
which
badly
affects
both
his
personal
and
professional
lives.
But
when
it
comes
to
his
professional
life,
Varun
is
highly
talented.
As
a
part
of
a
murder
series
investigation,
Varun
meets
his
ex-wife
Roshni
Mathew
(Bhavana)
and
Krish
Hebbar
(Nivin
Pauly),
an
IT
company
CEO.
The
investigation
slowly
starts
to
affect
the
life
of
the
trio
and
this
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Cast
Prithviraj
steals
the
show
as
Varun
Blake.
The
actor
just
mesmerises
with
his
mindblowing
acting
skills
and
excellence
in
dialogue
delivery.
He
has
brilliantly
adapted
the
American
accent,
which
has
helped
in
the
perfect
portrayal
of
the
character.
Nivin
Pauly,
who
plays
Krish
Hebbar,
is
just
ok
in
his
role.
At
certain
points,
the
actors
struggle
to
cope
with
the
character.
Sadly,
he
turns
out
to
be
a
misfit
for
the
role,
which
demands
an
even
stronger
performer.
Bhavana
delivers
a
decent
and
matured
performance
as
Roshni.
Prakash
Bare,
Dhanish
Karthik,
Jia
Patel,
Deepti
Nair,
Haridev,
Sunil
Veettil,
Shaun
Xavier,
Kirstein
Gilbert,
Robin
Cole
etc,
who
appear
in
the
supporting
roles,
are
good
in
their
roles.

Script
And
Direction
The
movie
lacks
the
strength
which
is
needed
for
an
investigation
drama.
Ajayan
Venugopalan
fails
in
bringing
up
an
engaging
script
out
of
the
not-so-strong
plot.
The
second
half
and
climax
will
disappoint
the
normal
audience.
When
it
is
approached
as
a
typical
Shyamaprasad
movie,
Ivide
is
an
above
average
movie
experience.
But
as
a
crime
drama,
the
movie
fails
to
meet
the
standards.
Despite
the
expectations,
it
is
not
a
different
film
from
Shyamaprasad,
but
is
just
another
movie
with
the
signature
of
the
director.
Technical
Aspects
The
movie
stands
out
with
its
Hollywood-like
making
style
and
visualisation.
American
cinematographer
Eric
Dickinson
has
succeeded
in
bringing
out
the
beauty
of
Atlanta.
The
movie
is
completely
rich
with
the
beautiful
visuals.
Manoj's
editing
is
not
upto
the
mark,
as
the
movie
fallsinto
low
pace
from
the
beginning.
Songs
And
Background
Score
National
Award
winner
Gopi
Sundar
composes
the
songs
for
the
movie.
The
songs
Etho
theerangal
and
Aazhangalil
dhinaravukal
perfectly
sinks
in
with
the
plot
of
the
film.
The
background
score
is
brilliant
at
most
of
the
parts
but
lacks
perfection
at
certain
points.
Verdict
A
Malayalam
movie
of
International
standards.
But
fails
to
satisfy
the
Shyamaprasad
fans
and
crime
drama
lovers.
