The movie is perfectly taken and this types of movies are needed for mollywood.Truely based story with a perfectly taken one!!!

From a simple comedy actor to a man of great acting skills. This movie is just another feather in Suraj's list of good movies. I saw this movie after watching 'Android Kunjappan'; the same combo of Shoubin and Suraj. Shoubin, meanwhile is a class actor, natural and close to calibers of one of the best in the industry.

À beautiful and sensitive movie with brilliant actors like Sameer and Soubin in the lead. The same actors were also seen in Android Kunjappan. It was a sheer delight to watch the natural performances of all the actors. The theme is relevant and Eldho's forgiving and kind nature brings tears to our eyes.

The story revolves around a man who get mistakenly trolled for as a drunk passenger when he spends two sleepless nights straight looking after his baby girl in hospital.

Soubin keeps it simple and scores with all emotions of guilt and fear.

Strings of emotions plays all along the family especially with the father son relationship. Thought there was a moment when we doubt if people actually remembers to the extent shown in the movie, but the fact that the movie is based on real incident is a striking fact!

Perfect movie with a strong message. Based on real events. All the cast excelled in their roles. Especially Suraj, Soubin & Vincy. Highly recommended. A must watch for all.

The film makers used an actual incident nicely to make a full fledged movie. Suraj Venjaramoodu has given a marvelous performance & Soubin too performed impressively. A nice feel good movie for movie lovers.

Although there is a silly reason that causes some defamation to a person and his family, this movie clearly explains how to use social media esp. phones responsibly. Kudos to the makers who made a very sensible effort.

Sampling the subject of online shaming (that was previously touched upon in Ashraf Hamza's Thamaasha), this poignant drama with a powerhouse performance by Suraj Venjaramoodu, Vikruthy (English: Prank) offers a commentary on how things can be when tasteless memes or trolling campaigns are started against people who have no idea about any of these things. It could be your security person who hasn't heard of Facebook or a daily wage worker who decided to take a nap on a reserved train berth. But more than the theme, Emcy Joseph's ordinary characters are what makes Vikruthy a pleasant experience, giving us enough to laugh and think about. While Soubin Shahir sleepwalked through the drama, Sudhi Koppa, Vincy Aloshious, and Irshad drive the vehicle forward with ample doses of 'naadan drama and comedy' which has defined Malayalam cinema in 2019. There's a lot of authenticity in how the film has been made. Though it could have struck gold had it shown the victor to be a careless guy who did what he does both for the fun without being apologetic. To borrow a line from a fellow Redditor, the final act by Venjaramoodu made me believe that he was really dumb. I would even go ahead and say that his performances in this drama and in Android Kunjappan (2019) can both be counted among the best of 2019. There's no doubt. Not even about how much this film works and makes you think and cry. It's a sweet little film and a definite contender for one of this 2019's best. TN.

• Watched the movie in Netflix. Running time is under 2 hrs.
• Excellent acting by everyone especially Suraj and Soubin. I liked the performance of characters of Soubin's Mother and Wife.
• Excellent climax.
• Felt like movie could be little more tighter.

Verdict - A socially relevant good movie to be watched.

Highly recommended to watching such movies on recent scenario! Suraj proves again his acting brilliance!

Very simple story and screen play was awesome. Loved it 😊👍

What an effortless narration yet very impactfull social message recommended

The movie tells a good and happening story. Not only a entertainer it's theme is awesome, also the acting of suraj is appreciatable.

Worth watching, i wish more real life movies like this should be promoted instead of timewasting superstar movies

You rarely a see a realistic movie that will move you so much. It's socially relevant and very well executed. All the actors did a very a good job. One person stands out, that is Suraj. He is awesome in every possible way. The way he lived in the character will make you speechless.

Has great performances and the movie is done or shot well. But the plot is very weak and exaggerated. Doesn feel real. Simple, why not the character plainly apologize publicly and move on instead of stretching the content ? Very weak story thats unable to connect or makes the audience wonder "this is so silly".

Brilliant movie,screenplay and acting by lead actors like suraaj and soubin supported by surabhi lakshmi and sudhi koppa,

This Movie leaves a great social message which is the need of the hour. Based on Real life characters. Heartfelt performances by all the actors involved..a special mention for Suraj and Soubin. These actors definitely stand out in World cinema. Highly recommended!!! This movie is currently available on Netflix.

Heart touching and absolute visual treat to watch Suraj Venjarmmoodu. Social media at times can be a boon and a curse to the society. A very well scripted movie. Each individual did their part beautifully.

Please do watch if u are not fan of masala movie. Nice story and good acting

The movie spends ample of time to establish a story line but by the end turns out to be under whelming. Considering it is based on real story the movie fails to make bring sufficient awareness to understand human behavior on and because of social platform. It took a easy route of feel good factor and left out nuances that happened around the story in real life. Not a bad movie but felt disappointment that it didn't aim for anything more than easy road towards the end.

A must watch. A lot of emotions portrayed so beautifully. Everyone did the justice to their characters. Loved it.

If this is not a good movie, then what is ? How a negligible incident that can be discounted easily becomes a national shame just because a photo got pickedup on social media and went viral. How it affects a person - while people backlash without knowing the hardships of the victim. Great movie. No villians, no bad intentions, no evil plots, but a harmful social media outcome out of innocent mischief. Vikruti is an amazing movie. I watched it in 2021 and im left wandering how i never heard about such an amazing movie from 2019.
