#MovieReview #Joji #SpoilerFree #Fahadh #AmazonPrimeVideo
Who knew that the mask worn during Covid times can be used as such an effective narrative device, hiding and screening the protagonist's Machiavellian intentions!
Dileesh Pothen's Joji is a tantalising tale of deceit, greed and family politics, told in painstaking detail by a director clearly on the top of his game.
On the flip side, Fahadh is seriously in danger of being typecast as the archetype of a scheming protagonist who is constantly in the grey area between right and wrong.
But after the fall from grace that was Irul, it is encouraging to see him back at his best, in a role tailor-made to play to his strengths.
Baburaj is a revelation in his best role since Salt N Pepper while the secondary characters played by Unnimaya Prasad, Shammi Thilakan, Basil Joseph and even the relative unknowns PK Sunny and Joji Mundakkayam all shine in equal measure.
Joji is a super fun, Tarantino-esque ride infused with copious amounts of dark humour. It is a nice departure from the feel-good style of Maheshinte Prathikaram and the quirkiness of Thondimothalum Driksakshiyum,
Recommended.
