Joju George is proving to be an asset to the Malayalam film industry with his wide range of characters.

Yet another movie by the actor, Iratta, has been released today, 3 February. Interestingly, Joju dons the role of twins here.

Entertainment

Joju acts as Pramod, a deputy superintendent of police (DySP), and Vinod, assistant sub-inspector (ASI), in Iratta. They have a strange relationship.

Entertainment

A disturbed childhood between Vinod and Pramod makes them enemies. Vinod leads a careless life, is a drunkard and troublemaker at work.

Entertainment

Emotionally-driven films usually tend to be melodramatic. But not Iratta! At one point, Pramod’s character turns heroic. But it doesn’t turn superhero!

Entertainment

Tamil actor Anjali plays the role of Vinod’s live-in partner. She also has a troubled past. She did her part well.

Entertainment

Director Rohit MG Krishnan has done a wonderful job and it surely doesn’t feel like it’s his debut movie. His script has a mild pace but it doesn’t lose its rhythm.

Entertainment

A song sung by Shahabaz Aman is placed in the second half of the movie that is soothing to the ears. Jakes Bejoy composed the song nicely.

Entertainment

The background score of the movie is also laudable. The visuals of Idukki, where the story is set, are captured with finesse by cinematographer Vijay.
