Officer On Duty Movie Analysis:
Director Jeethu Ashraf has taken this 'Officer on Duty' to a mood from the beginning. The characters in the film are also strong. Especially the way he tells the hero character that he has a problem from the beginning... and reveals what that problem is is impressive. The director's elevation of the scenes by building tension in many scenes is very good.
This investigation and emotional action drama, Officer on Duty, has some thrilling elements, but the film fails to impress. Although Jeethu Ashraf's directorial work is good, the lack of substance in the script has affected the film's outcome.
Although there are good points to be told in the film, some scenes were not interesting in the main. Most of the second half of this film was slow. Those long scenes should have been reduced in the second half. In fact, how many problems a CI has, and how much risk there is in their job, have been shown very clearly.
The film has been diverted with unnecessary scenes. There have also been more scenes than are necessary for the story. In addition, some scenes that come in terms of the story do not impress at all, as if they are down to the level of the film. Also, in the pre-climax of the film, there were good emotional sequences with high action scenes.. but they were also completely cinematic.
Actors Performance:
Kunchacko Boban gave his best performance in this film with his mature acting. Especially in some complex action and emotional scenes, he stood out as the highlight of the film with his mark action and acting.
Also, Priyamani, who played another lead role, acted very well. She really got into the role of the wife. Priyamani acted wonderfully in the emotional scenes. The scenes between the main hero and the villain are good. Also, the screen presence and the acting of the rest of the actors are good. Cinematographer Robbie Varghese Raj's work is good.
Technical Department:
Talking about the technical department of this film.. Robbie Varghese Raj's cinematography work is good. The key scenes in the film as well as the rest of the action scenes have been shot brilliantly following the storyline.
Chaman Chacko's editing is also very good. The background music composed by music director Jakes Bejoy is good. Producers Martin Prakkat, Sibi Chavara, and Ranjith Nair have produced this film without compromising anywhere. The production values are excellent.
Conclusion:
In this investigation crime thriller called Officer on Duty, the investigation scenes as well as the family emotions are also good. Especially the daughter's sentiment is very good. However, overall the film was not interesting.
The lack of fully impressive content in the storyline and the slow pace at many places are the minuses of this film. Overall, this film will connect only to the audience who likes crime thrillers.
