In the present political climate, it will be interesting to see how people will react to this movie’s politics that takes the side of the temporary staff in the battle for a permanent job. Rather than making it look like a superhuman effort, it gives you an idea about the collective action behind these investigations. Operation Java maintains a particular level of enthusiasm throughout its narrative. Even though it was a relatively small role in screen time, Vinayakan’s performance was highly effective. Binu Pappu and Irshad played those empathetic police officers’ roles neatly, while Alexander Prasanth represented the bullies. Balu Varghese’s performance was more on the typical side, and Antony’s depiction was on a very emotional level. I would say Lukman’s performance conveyed that feeling in the most realistic way.

The film talks about the humiliation faced by the talented people who are called temporary. Lukman, as Vinayadasan, showed an excellent level of earnestness in his portrayal. The tracks by Jakes Bejoy blended in with the movie smoothly. The editing and its style do make the narrative crispier. From long single-takes to slow-motion walks, you get to see all the variety. Faiz Siddik’s cinematography follows different styles according to the tempo of the movie. It is also about how they plan and execute their operations. The story revolves around a group of officers and a series of mysteries, events and cases reported before them in the Cyber Cell. And Tharun has kept one case alive throughout the film, which shows you the emotional consequences of some of the heinous cybercrimes. Actor: Balu Varghese, Lukman Lukku, Irshad, Binu Pappu. The last one, which revolves around a murder, has parallel narratives and a thriller like multiple possibilities. The second one has a broad canvas along with a back and forth narrative. The first one that sort of introduces us into this world has an agile and straight forward structure. Each case is given a slightly different treatment. Tharun Moorthy has done a perfect job in keeping the movie in an extremely compelling space. By the time the film ends, we as an audience are given a picture of how crucial these two were in many cases and yet how thankless their job was. They are not trying to make it an interconnected plot with a big villain and unpredictable twists. The oddness is there even in the way each episode is concluded. You are watching multiple episodes in the life of two youngsters who are assisting the police with their acquired intelligence.

In some ways, it’s almost like watching Action Hero Biju. What we see in Operation Java is the life of these two characters, along with the multiple cases in which they assisted the police.Īs I said, the structuring of this movie is very odd.

The two who were struggling to find a job got a temporary posting in Kerala police’s cyber cell when they helped them track the guy behind the leakage of the Premam movie. Meanwhile, Aaha directed by Bibin Paul Samuel is a sports drama.The film is about two jobless engineering graduates named Vinayadasan and Antony. His previous three films – Vellimoonga, Munthirivallikal Thalirkkumbo and Vattamesha Sammelanam, were also family dramas built against the backdrop of politics. This film is the fourth directorial release of Jibu Jacob. While the film’s plot focuses on interfaith marriage and differing political views, it phenomenally makes the political satire non-ideological, with a balanced outlook on family. Helmed by ace director Jibu Jacob, Ellam Sheriyakum is a war of genres – romance, a political thriller, family drama – all rolled into one. Expanding its regional library with meaningful content on India’s 73rd Republic Day, ZEE5 Global premiered Asif Ali and Rajisha Vijayan starrer Ellam Sheriyakum as well as Aaha, starring Indrajith Sukumaran and Santhy Balachandran, on January 26, 2022.
