Tiyaan Movie Review: A Promising Plot Dampened By Inept Screenplay!

Prithviraj As Aslan Mohammed

Prithviraj has delivered a fantastic performance as Aslan Mohammed, the mysterious man who influences Pattabhiraman. The actor's exceptional voice modulation deserves a special applause.

But, Prithvi has comparatively less screen space in the first half, which might not go well with his fans. The flashback portions of his character lack clarity, which badly affects the characterization of Aslan.

Indrajith As Pattabhirama Giri

Indrajith once again reminds us that he is one of the most under-rated talents of Mollywood, with the stellar performance as Pattabhirama Giri. His flawless performance makes the character and its transformations more effective.

Murali Gopy As Remakanth Mahashay

Murali Gopy delivers a graceful performance as the godman Remakant Mahashay Bhagwan. But, the characterization of Mahashay has striking similarities with the earlier godman roles of Mollywood, especially Narendraprasad's role from Ekalavyan, which makes it less exciting.

Direction: Jiyen Krishnakumar

Jiyen Krishnakumar, the director has done justice to the screenplay, but couldn't enhance it in any way. The extreme predictability is the main spoilsport in the narrative.

While certain elements were over-exploited, some highly promising ones were left unattended. The lack of clarity at several portions might not go well with the common audiences and affects the entertainment aspect.

Script: Murali Gopy

Murali Gopy, the writer couldn't recreate his magic with Tiyaan. The movie clearly discusses a highly valid theme, but the lack of balance in the script plays the spoilsport. The way the mutual respect for religions is depicted in the movie is extremely commendable.

While the certain aspects were over-exploited, the writer leaves several other potential factors in the mid-way, unattended. While certain dialogues were sharp and crispy, some others end up ineffective.

Padmapriya As Vasundhara Devi

Padmapriya, the highly talented actress is totally wasted in the role of Vasundhara Devi, which is just an insignificant cameo.

Ananya As Amba

Ananya delivers a decent performance as Amba, the wife of Pattabhirama Giri. Even though the role doesn't provide much scope, the actress has made a mark with her decent acting skills.

Supporting Cast

None of the supporting actors, including tjhe National award winner Suraj Venjaramoodu, Shine Tom Chacko, Rahul Madhav, Ravi Singh, Mridula Sathe, have much scope to perform.

Baby Nakshatra Indrajith, the daughter of Indrajith and Poornima has made a decent debut, by playing the role of Pattabhiraman and Amba's daughter, Arya.

Cinematography: Satheesh Kurup

The breathtaking visualisation by DOP Satheesh Kurup makes Tiyaan an absolute visual treat. It is undoubtedly one of the best films in the recent past, in terms of visualisation.

Music: Gopi Sundar

Gopi Sundar, the National Award winner once again creates magic with his extraordinary background score, which has taken Tiyaan to a whole new level. The songs are just okay.
