Amala Paul’s first film produced and acted. Generally, when we think of police films, we often think of masala commercial films full of beatings, guns and violence. But in this film, Amala Paul has played the role of a police surgeon who does a post-mortem in the mortuary leaving behind all the violence. Did Amala Paul’s Kadaawar, which tried to do something innovative, get a response?
Murders are taking place in the city in a gruesome manner. Amala Pal comes as a police surgeon who investigates the dead bodies and performs the post-mortem. Meanwhile, Arun Adi, who is in jail, draws on the wall in advance who he is going to kill next. How can people outside be killed when he is inside? Who is behind these murders? What he has to do with these murders is the rest of the story of Kadawar.
A cadaver is the name given to the body that medical students use to perform post-mortem examinations. Director Anoop S Panikkar has given a thriller about how a police surgeon finds the cause of death based on the evidence from the body of a dead person and thereby finds the culprits. Although the story and visuals of the film are in the template we have already seen, the screenplay and visuals are gripping and keep us watching till the end.
Heroine Amala Paul has once again proved that she is an elite actress with this film. Both in choosing the story and performing in it, he has brought the scenes to life by displaying a very smart and elegant performance without demonstration. The fact that he is dubbing in his own voice is an added plus. Arun Adi of Inidu Inidu fame who plays the lead has done justice to the role given to him. The love scenes could have been done even better.
Atulya Ravi, who plays the lead role, has done well in whatever comes her way and has grabbed attention. Harish Uthtaman, who always comes in a negative character, has played a good cop in the film. He himself appears as the hero in many scenes. He has done a fine job in the investigating scenes. Also, Rithvika, Muniskanth and Ratchasan Vinod who are playing the main roles have done their job well.
Arvind Singh’s cinematography shows the mortuary scenes well. Similarly, the accident scene involving Arun Adi has also been shown beautifully. In Ranjan Raj’s music, the background score is better than the songs. Especially in the scenes involving Amalapal, he has created excitement with excellent background music.
There are many things in the film that can make you tired like some many logic holes, boring story line that we are already used to but watch it once for the neat screenplay and twists.
Cadaver – Decent
