Operation
Java
movie
review
here,
to
know...
Plot
Antony
and
Vinay
Dasan
are
unemployed
yet
talented
B.Tech
graduates,
who
are
in
search
of
a
job.
The
youngsters
help
the
cyber
cell
with
the
piracy
issue
of
a
popular
film,
by
providing
a
solid
piece
of
evidence.
This
paves
the
way
for
Antony
and
Vinay
Dasan's
entry
into
the
cyber
cell.
The
movie
revolves
around
the
duo's
various
encounters
with
cyber
crimes.
Script
&
Direction
Tharun
Moorthy,
the
young
writer-filmmaker
has
made
an
excellent
debut
with
Operation
Java.
The
movie
provides
a
realistic
insight
into
the
world
of
cyber
crimes,
which
is
a
very
rare
sight
among
the
plethora
of
crime
thrillers
the
Malayalam
film
industry
already
has.
Along
with
this
theme,
the
film
also
deals
with
the
lives
of
the
daily
wage
workers,
which
is
a
refreshing
take.
Despite
having
a
highly
realistic
making
style,
the
movie
never
slips
into
a
docu-drama
category
and
has
emerged
as
a
thoroughly
engaging
theatrical
experience.
Director
Tharun
deserves
special
applause
for
the
excellent
casting,
that
has
used
some
of
the
most
underrated
and
underutilized
acting
talents.
However,
the
film
has
some
minor
flaws
including
the
cliched
treatment
of
the
female
characters,
which
could
have
been
avoided.
Performances
Balu
Varghese
gets
the
much-needed
break
from
his
serious
characters
with
the
film,
and
the
actor
has
played
his
part
exceptionally.
Lukman,
who
made
an
excellent
debut
with
Unda,
once
again
proves
that
he
is
here
to
stay
with
his
matured
acting
skills.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
including
Irshad,
Shine
Tom
Chacko,
Binu
Pappu,
Vinayakan,
Dhanya
Ananya,
Vinitha
Koshy,
and
so
on
are
perfect
in
their
respective
roles.
Technical
Aspects
Faiz
Siddik,
the
director
of
photography
has
done
a
great
job
with
the
visualisation,
that
creates
the
perfect
backdrop
for
a
realistic
thriller.
Nishad
Yosuf's
editing
is
up
to
the
mark.
Vishnu
Govind
and
Sri
Shankar
have
done
an
excellent
job
with
the
sound
design.
Jakes
Bejoy,
the
popular
musician
once
again
impresses
with
the
perfect
songs
and
background
score.
The
action
choreography
team
too
deserves
a
special
mention.
Verdict
Operation
Java
is
a
realistic,
enjoyable
take
on
cyber
crimes,
which
is
a
rare
sight
among
the
plethora
of
crime
thrillers
Malayalam
cinema
has.
This
film
will
be
worth
your
time.
