The set-up of this Fahadh Faasil and Soubin Shahir starrer has promise and the actors are up for it too. However, the story-telling lets them down.

Rated: 2/5

IRUL starts intriguing, but falters in the second half when its just running in circles. Even the good cast and the nice presentation cant help much.

Rated: 6/10

Movie Nation

A chatty, twisty and overwrought "dark and stormy night" tale that almost drowns in its cornball theatricality.

Rated: 1.5/4

...what's most disappointing is the lack of surprises...

The cinematography by Jomon T John is stylish, but even at just a length of 90 minutes, Irul seems just style over substance.

Rated: 2.5/5

Irul is a disappointing contrast to Fahadh and Darshana's earlier team-up in Mahesh Narayanan's C U Soon, a pandemic-time release that became a national sensation with its thoroughly original story and storytelling style.

The sound and look of this movie is very rich and mature, the actors seem very relaxed in this setting, the only struggle is the plot they had to work with, they gave a valiant effort to make the plot compliment the scenery, and they pulled it off in the first act, but the second and third act ruined the entire movie...by the third act, you could see the actors had enough of this mess of a script and just wanted it to be over...my recommendation is for the good acting, sound and cinematography.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
