Style, twist and turns.
AjHuntt18 September 2022
It's kind of an experimental movie in Malayalam industry. Similar to old big budget Bollywood and Tamil movies with lots of style elements at the climax. Also the unique way of story telling, which released the 2nd part of the movie first instead of the 1st part.

Everyone in this movie given justice to there roles. Especially Arvind Saamy. The director made a fine decision in selecting the casts of this movie. Instead of Arvind Saamy if he casted some other usual malayalm Heroes then this movie will not catch the eyes of many.

Anyways it's a fairly good entertainer which leaves a build up similar to KGF and other recently made Telugu movies, waiting for Chapter 1 & 3.

Sorry to mention this movie as a making failure. Clearly not understand why Fellini TP hasn't made an effort to bring any good to this movie. The story line had great chance of a road movie and failed to include the intensity. Dialogues seems bit odd in every scene. Didn't know if it was done deliberately. Thought they were in a rush to release the film and complete the post production within no time. To be honest, the thread of the story is a good one. But poorly fell short in making. They should've concentrated little bit more in the main department. Music and BGM is okay. Not so bad. But man, how can they carelessly make such a movie. In simple words, Fellini failed to make the most out of a good opportunity. If they can take enough time and do the post production works well, I hope chapter 1 and 3 might be a big success. Totally Disappointed with this one.

Head and tails!!

The movie opens with Chapter 2 and the plot looks like a Jason Bourne movie, where the protagonist don't remember his past and the other guy is on a mission to help him get back his memory.

There are many scenes that look odd and many are left unanswered or may be answered in the next part. But the makers have bite more than they can chew. The viewer neither can appreciate or be entertained given it just looks like stitch of incoherent scenes. The songs don't add any relief and just makes the narrative boring.

One can truly appreciate the movie only after all the parts of this movie are released. Till then it's a good attempt.

Definitely worth a watch!
arjbln15 October 2022
The suspense in the story line did manage to keep the movie engaging throughout although it is a very simple plot. The phenomenal seasoned lead actors definitely helped keep the movie entertaining. The action sequences were quite good to be honest, although advice from a weapons expert could've made gun fights a little more realistic, I mean no one shoots sideways and aiming and stabilizing a gun before firing is missing in some scenes(Also,a John Woo fan so I wouldn't even mention anything about the two handed gun fights :P). VFX could've had a slight improvement when it came to gunshot wounds, but compared to disappointments in big budget features for VFX this year, this one's much more forgivable. Was nice to see Jackie on screen in a Malayalam feature, but I really wished he gave his own voice, I mean half the mans persona is his amazing voice. Overall a fun watch.

Useless movie
lot-2584713 October 2022
This movie does not have any objectives, their task also unsure. Don't know why they break jacky shroff house and kill him. And what kitchu in this movie without any memory of past, may be director miss out some shoot.

The director should work under assistant director so that he can improve his next movie, we should not ignore his challenge to bring up the movie. If any one has good story please let him try. Even I did not get at first time. Even silent film shooted in early sanctuary give good sense, But this movie did not make the soup.

Absolutely waste of our precious time. I really watch this movie to see Arvindswamy look.

Keeps u interested
crravikiran18 September 2022
This movie is a one time watchable movie. Kunjacko Boban and Arvind swami stole the show . The movie has a bit of resemblance with Mumbai police Malayalam movie . I think it's Arvind Swami comeback movie in Malayalam after Devaragam. The best part of the movie was the climax and the twist was out of the box. The fight scene at Goa proved why Arvind swami is still needed in the industry. You may feel it's a road trip movie , but there are many hidden elements into it. Not entire movie is based on road trip. Kunjacko boban has successfully passed the gangster test. Only area of concern is dialogue delivery of Arvind swami at times. That's basically the directors fault. Otherwise this movie is worth a watch.

Worst movie
nkchnitheesh25 November 2022
There is no story in the movie, simply they made this movie to show some action moments, that's it. Climax was very boring, i thought something is coming but nothing. Utter flop movie by Malayalam industry. Don't know how the actors agreed to make this movie. Some story needs to be there, atleast some connecting points.

Simply wasting of money, other than that there is nothing in the movie. Flop performance by the whole team, surprised arvind Swami agreed to act in such a worst story. It's quite surprising that it got 6.3 rating, i don't see anything in this movie which deserves that rating.if it's 3 Rd part is releasing please ensure some story.

A Slow Pace Journey with A Massive Twist at Climax making worth Watching
skmenon19939 September 2022
*** Ottu : Chapter 2 ( Betrayal ) Movie Review ***

Directed by Fellini TP

Written by S Sanjeev

Starring Kunchacko Boban Arvind Swami in lead role...

Verdict Of the Movie.... Hit.... 3.5/5 ⭐

Plot of the Movie..

Kichu played by Kunjacko Boban wants to shift to Sweden with his girlfriend but for that they need good amount of money...So with the help of his uncle he meets a team who gives him an assignment --- " To get back the memory of a sought after gold smuggler" which is being played by Arvind Swamy & how kichu gets into it and what further he faces during the course of mission forms the rest part of the story...

Positive Factors of The Movie 👍👍👍

1) Arvind Swamy as a cool badass was terrific. He doesn't need the arrogant sound but his silence, subtle performance was enough to make his rivals fear...That performance we could see from Arvind Swamy....

2) Kunjacko Boban is now on a different track which proves him and gives confidence to the audience that once he was being sealed as the Chocolate Boy but now as per the age and his diversified potential he could be placed in any plate of character....

3) Last 30 minutes climax was unpredictable and was an amazing

4) 1st half road trip journey was quite good as it was not just a cliche road journey sequence as it involved a moment of thrill as that end of the road trip was the turning point for the unpredictable climax...

Negative Factors of the Movie

1) Actions were average

2) Songs were average...

3) Jackie Shroff was not convincing...May be he will have more screen presence in Chapter 1 and Chapter 3...

Overall a good to watch movie at the big screen.

Average movie with a good story
Adhil_Mohammed13 October 2022
The movie has a very good story that has set platforms for a prequel and sequel as the makers intended but is not made well .. It has a very interesting turn of events that could make the movie one of the top notch but average making and acting has made it difficult to stay in focus..

Kunchako Boban and Aravind Swamy made strong performances recently but here they go back to their old average actors.. They failed to establish the development of characters which was the backbone of the movie..

Action sequences also not taken well.. kunchako boban and aravind swamy done maybe just okay but eesha rebba was very bad with the gun that viewers gets difficult to swallow..

But overall made a feeling that there is a good prequel and sequel waiting in this series...

Excellent movie with unpredictable events
mnbvcxzkimama5 December 2022
I don't know why the movie recieved less appreciation, the movie was so damn good the director really earned a gold star from action thriller fans . The action sequences are good with over the edge suspense and turn of events.

The director took a different path to portray the chapter 2 rather than showing us what really happened in the previous chapter . I guess the newbies were really pissed at this as they were not able to think from the director's point of view.

That being said the perfect choice of cast made it much more entertaining and pleasing. It's been a long time since I've watched a good Malayalam action thriller , and ottu really satisfied me . Once more Malayalam industry just proved its worth.

PS: I pity those who were unable to understand the movie.

Liked for the last part
SPHariSP10 October 2022
-For first 1.15 hrs of movie the movie started of very slow , had to fast forward. At first It looked like a predictable movie. Kunchacko Boban is supposed to be doing a charming character, but it wasn't that charming. Aravind swami was good , but his dubbing was a mismatch. Not much twists and turns either and script or making wasn't that great.

  • Then comes the twist when they reach at the first shooting place. Aravind swami gets even better , now the dubbing fits well. The actions sequences comes , jacky sherof appears . Kunchacko does good in this part.


Only thing that was not great thru out was the BGM in my opinion.

All together movie takes a good shift to another level in last 20 minutes. Can watch for that.
