"CHAAVER" is one such film thats misunderstood with its political propaganda which lands into the personal vengeance...Despite being technically brilliant the screenplay is written in a slow pace and goes clueless in the battle of blood bath... Cinematographer Jinto george with his heroic efforts saves the movie with his skillfull night sequences keeping it raw & rustic while the lighting speaks a lot with its darker tone... Music composer justin vargheese does a clever job of inducing the "THEYYAM" art form into the plot elevates the movie to a new level... Tinu pappachan directorial promises brilliancy in ruthless murder scenes but loses its way in narratives... Also the failure of bomb merely spoils the plot,while the medical student though getting chance to escape doesnt try out for survival instinct at times... Overall a masterpiece indeed in making falls flat due to poor execution of plot...

A wow cinematography , which enthralls to peak in the climax. A must watch & experience in theatre. Story line cannot be weak, where one crime is utilized to perform another one's own legal escape. Chaver - yes a political thriller because the story follows what could somewhat be happening in the real world where these incidents are centered around and used in story. Use of the famous Theyyam folklore to back the story narration is brilliance from a screenplay. I will say the folklore thottam paatu can now be heard in real by the one who has not ever experienced before. What you experience is just a tip of the ocean of this folklore in theyyaatam. I will say briilant filming like one experienced in Churuli, jallikaatu before.

Tinu papapachan what an awesome movie you have made mr the acting is exceptional and even the house of the victim the choreography and acting are amazing. Even the camera angles and the location of which the movie were taken is apt to the overall theme of the Movies exept the mis cast of Antony pepe he had only 3-5 mins but he have done wonders but the Antony pepe is man who can make wonders political crome overall a great experience thank you all for making this movie a binge worthy experience in my Weeknd tinupapachan direction 10/10 casting 9/10 script 8/10 choreography 10/10 overall a great movie.

Another movie that reiterates the fact that Story is everything. This movie has such a weak storyline and screenplay that a decent making couldn't salvage it. The slow pace, dragged out scenes, random characters that isn't required, all makes this movie a snooze feat. BGM is nothing unique, I guess they've used folk songs (how original). Overall just another movie to forget about. The plot is nothing new and cannot be justified as a political thriller. Leaving aside the fact that central characters belong to a political party and they do deeds that they believe are for the party is like treading on think ice. It barely makes the cut to qualify as a political thriller. Only plus side is it's we'll cinematographed. That's it. And the argument that its a theatric experience movie is juvenile as a good cinema has to be good anywhere, be it in theatres or on TVs.

This movie had a strong story but sadly the screenplay was not up to the mark. The creators forgot to execute the movie properly. The director attempted to convey more through the imagery shown throughout the film, but even that couldn't save the sinking ship. The technical side was brilliant in this movie and that combined with the cinematography was top-notch. Locations were carefully selected and that's another positive in the movie. Rather than going into taking sides and going into politics, people should try to constructively criticize a piece of art. Sadly that's not happening in our contemporary times. Kunchacko Boban has been involved in some weak script films recently, and this one will also be remembered as one of his poor choices. Arjun Ashokan and Manoj K. U were superb in their respective roles.

Postive is D O Photography, BG score and editing. The film's promising premise fizzles into a disjointed narrative with shallow character development and a predictable, unsatisfying making. Full of logical mistakes. Found the film to be a disappointing experience, lacking depth in its storytelling and failing to engage me emotionally or intellectually. The film suffered from direction that felt aimless, resulting in a disjointed and dull storyline, ultimately failing to captivate the audience. The director squandered a promising premise, failing to harness its potential and delivering a lackluster and underwhelming cinematic experience.

Chaaver had good intentions and a great message to pass along, but the tedious storytelling sadly punctured the beauty of this film DELICIOUS -One thing that Chaaver is extremely rich in is symbols! From the opening scene that zoomed in on a mouse getting ready to eat a roach to Pablo Neruda's poem -It was encouraging to see the theme of loyalty present across characters -The photography added a plus to the storytelling with engaging camera movements and placements that were as curious as we were. -It was quite interesting that the four goons all came from different faiths. Without being a spoiler, when you understand the intent of their murder, it kinda makes sense why they were selected BLAND -The storytelling was regrettably slooow and unengaging😭 The movie only got a boost toward the last 20 minutes, this was obviously too late. The scene sequences seemed detached: one moment we were introduced to Ashokan and his partners and another one we were taken to Arun and his mom who appeared cold toward each other. The lack of a parallel plot made the scenario redundant and the long scenes impaired the beauty of this film -The everpresent ominous score made it look as if something gripping was going to happen but nope, we only saw Ashokan and his partners driving and driving in their car😔 -As Chaaver carried an important message, inspirational and thought-provoking dialogues could have been crafted to make it memorable Joy Mathew has a tendency to make his scenarios tedious as he did with 'Uncle', so sad that we witnessed the same pattern with Chaaver...

This is a very stupid movie. There is nothing new in the plot, everything has been written off. It is better to make the film better. It has ruined my time. The director of the film should understand that times are changing. Make something new but what will you do if you make the same old file. South should make a Hollywood type movie. Or then they should learn from Mammootty or Dulquer Salmaan that how to make a movie and not throw it in front of the audience. It is a request to the director sir not to waste his time by making such garbage and stupid movies. Don't do it. You are requested to please ignore this movie.

"The movie started off with great promise, building up the hype and excitement within the first 15 minutes. However, the momentum dipped as the plot slowed down, leaving the audience waiting for the suspense to pick up. This lag continued into the second half, sapping the initial energy. Disappointingly, the film didn't deliver on the expectations set by its trailer. Kunchacko Boban showcased his acting prowess with a commendable role, but Arjun Ashokan's character felt somewhat out of place. Despite the flaws, the movie is worth a single watch for fans of the actors and the genre.".............................

It's a film that makes you realise, how you have a different taste in films. Chaver is a " Slow burner " by Tinu Pappachan which has not been explored in Malayalam cinema much often.. rather than the story movies highlight is it's masterfully done cinematography and background scoring.. that just gifts us with these heart breaking moments. The film request it's audience to ease in to the fate awaiting it's characters.. Arjun Ashokans character felt like a representative of the audience who are also innocent to the world of "Chavers " and as he is dragged into it so are we into a reality we have been unaware of or ignored. Oppose to public opinion Pepe's Character was perfection and it was awesome to see the actor in a new light.. the climax reminds us of " Varathan " movie but different. Over all its a film for the stoners, lonely people and those minds that love to get lost in simple things...
