I recently seen this movie on Sony liv app...movie is crime investigation thirller....like typical Malayalam movie film start with slow pace and goes into investigation mode...story is simple yet delivered in twisted manner.. screenplay is good ...very convincing performance by lead actors... overall decent enough for thriller.... life style of police officer is displayed beautifully.. routine investigation is also portrayed like real life incident.. negetive part is length of movie which I feel should be 30 minutes shorter...even climax is ok and motive of villan is not good enough..despite this movie is still enjoyable..

Decent thriller with good performance
A big plot turned into a simple climax
Thalavan is an expansive narrative investigative thriller movie. The film narrates the tale of fabricating a case to get revenge on a police officer. The story indicates the accused characters come to know the truth in their own unique ways. The director of feel-good films, Jis Joy, demonstrated his directing abilities in the thriller genre. Asif Ali and Biju Menon, the main characters, have performed admirably in their roles.
The initial half of the script is quite original. However, it then revealed certain differences in the narrative's flow. Similar to previous mystery thrillers, the plot developed as a story within a story. Using this method has the drawback that once the investigator finds out who the leads are to the next part, they will no longer be able to concentrate on the other important individuals in the story. The story moves forward without considering the earlier leads. It was probably a decent twist, but not really good.
But after watching the movie, some viewers could feel as though something is missing.
A perfect crime thriller!
Jis joy has proved he is not only for the feel good movies, he can deal with thrillers as well. From the start to the end, the movie is very engaging and we will keep searching for that culprit. He gives us various of suspects throughout the movie. I want to mention his casting, which is brilliant and each of them perform upto the mark. This is a comeback of Asif ali, after couple of failures recently. The golden combo of Biju Menon and Asif Ali's once again proved what they are capable of. At the end, I felt like would have better if they chose someone else as the culprit. Felt like the motive behind the murder is not strong enough. But it's not too bad. After all it's a good crime thriller I have watched after a while. I recommend you to watch it in theatres, I guarantee you, you won't disappoint.
