I don't follow Le Mans racing but used to watch Formula One racing growing up. This is a really good series in my regard. I especially like how the different drivers are interviewed and how the main gist of the race is shown. Unlike others, I found the editing style a good addition. Hopefully, this returns for another season.

This movie is exhausting to watch. It doesn't go anywhere for so long which is then followed by a story that is confusing and often times ridiculous. The cast have put together below average performances. Even Aju Varghese, who is the resident funnyman, struggles to do any humor in this half-baked script. Special mention to Ranjith and Chemban Vinod for putting up such terrible performances. The music is not anything memorable either. The story has also convinced me that present day Kerala looks like its constantly in a sandstorm. Whoever did the cinematography, hats off. I used to wonder why there aren't more detective/investigative movies in Malayalam. Then I realized, that most of them are train wreaks like this.

Now you might wonder why I gave it 3 stars. I've seen worse films. That's the only reason.

I'm not going to bore you with a lengthy review. This is an amazing Netflix series. Brilliantly shot, directed, acted, edited. The story itself is refreshing, although it plays an old tune. The story theme, teenage suicide, is executed appropriately in my opinion. Overall, a must watch.

The reason I took off 1 star is because I can feel the difference in consistency due to the fact that 1 director doesn't helm the entire series. There are several directors that juggle this series and I feel that having just one would have smoothed some bumps in the screenplay.
