KAATHAL – THE CORE is an extraordinary and important film that calmy addresses its subject matter and then unfolds its full power at the end. A film about the pain of silence and hiding – and the liberation of being able to be yourself.

Rated: 8/10

With its excellent story and a cast and crew all bringing their A game, this is a progressive, bold, and potentially life-changing movie.

Kaathal is an uncommonly sensitive film; impeccably crafted, empathetic, and unafraid of embracing sadness, an emotion that seems to scare most people away.

Kathal — A Jackfruit Mystery is just like its titular food: subtle, sweet, and a bit larger-than-life.

Good movies can make society think and even initiate change. Kaathal - The Core might be one such.

Started watching without knowing what it's about. End up creating an account to give review. Can't find a single actor that didn't play his part. Every scene felt damn realistic. Jyothika and Mammootty were exceptional, hats off to the supporting cast. The BGM and screenplay were perfectly placed. If this movie is not nominated for national award for at least one aspect, it would surprise me.

In 2023, this movie left a lasting impact. It felt like a masterclass in using silence to great effect. The cinematography reached an entirely new standard. Mammootty truly excelled, redefining his approach and taking risks. It's a definite must-watch, particularly for some, and I'm certain others will form their opinions. Nonetheless, it's worth giving it a chance and watching with patience.
