VARATHAN(Outsider)2018

Fahadh Faasil is a powerhouse. If he did a Jack Nicholson in Kumbalangi Nights, he does a Dustin Hoffman in Varathan! This might be an adaptation of Straw Dogs in the Kerala set-up, yet it does work well because of the chemistry between then leads- Faasil and Aishwarya Lekshmi.
They find themselves in a village of lechers, and even their non-invasive lifestyle comes into clash with the interfering troublemakers. Pushed against the wall, Faasil explodes and just creates mayhem. Full points to Amal Neerad for keeping it tense throughout. Firms up my belief that Faasil always has something to deliver.
