Written
and
directed
by
Joy
Mathew,
Shutter
is
an
honest
attempt
at
telling
a
story
in
the
most
simple
and
unexaggerated
way.
What's
most
interesting
about
the
plot
is
the
amazing
twists
and
turn
of
events
and
characters
that
makes
you
glued
to
the
seat.
Cinematography
is
good
too
as
it
perfectly
captures
the
scenic
beauty
of
Kerala.
Joy
Mathew's
narrative
is
so
good
that
you
don't
get
confused
with
the
multiple
narratives
in
the
plot.
Story
Rasheed
(Lal)
is
an
NRI
working
in
the
Gulf.
He
comes
to
his
hometown
Kozhikode
on
a
vacation
for
his
daughter's
engagement.
Rasheed
has
invested
in
a
commercial
property
next
to
his
house
which
he
has
let
out
to
store
owners,
except
for
one
room.
During
his
holiday,
he
meets
his
friends
here
and
they
bond
every
night
over
a
few
peg
of
drinks.
During
one
of
these
days,
Rashid's
friend
Nanmarayil
Suran
(Vinay
Forrt),
an
autorickshaw
driver,
locks
him
with
a
prostitute
in
a
garage
from
the
outside
to
let
the
two
have
some
fun.
He
fails
to
turn
up
as
promised
and
the
two
end
up
spending
two
nights
and
one
day
together
in
the
garage.
The
rest
of
the
narrative
revolves
around
the
embarrassing
plight
of
these
two
and
the
lives
of
Suran,
Thankam
and
Manoharan.
Performances
Lal
Jose
steals
the
show
with
his
stellar
performance
as
Rasheed
in
Shutter.
Sajitha
Madathil
as
a
prostitute
does
a
very
convincing
job.
In
fact,
the
clothes
that
she
wears
is
very
true
to
life.
Vinay
Forrt
as
the
auto
rickshaw
driver
has
done
a
good
job
too.
Sreenivasan
as
a
struggling
film
director
is
brilliant
too.
Verdict
Watch
Shutter
as
it's
one
of
the
most
enjoyable
and
well
made
film.
