An important message passed in an ordinary way
ngandacinema1 July 2023
Live was a mixture of the Malayalam movies Keedam and Naradan as we witnessed the atrocities of fake news and cyber harassment.

Overall, the screenplay was kind of ordinary as it touched on things we've heard/seen before without adding a new touch.

DELICIOUS

-We have to give it up to V. K. Prakash for a fluent storytelling which gave us an in-depth understanding of the characters and circumstances.

We saw the extent to which society feeds on fake news and shames others for their own pleasure.

-"I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat", a powerful quote shared in the film highlighting many times again how our communities prefer to see women subjugated than emancipated

-Mamta stepped up her game by being more involved physically and emotionally. She was fierce yet apprehensive, we could see her determination to break barriers in order to see truth triumph.

Of course, there's nothing to say about Shine Tom Chacko's performance, he excels at his craft😃

BLAND

-Live was presented in an ordinary manner, more like it just exposed the events that occurred in Anna's life and the consequences.

There wasn't much flavor in the storytelling to ignite our rage or empathy. We watched, sympathized, and that was it.

Soubin's attitude toward the end was quite sudden and almost unconvincing as there was no explanation of what led to his new condition.

Bollywood wannabe overacting mishmash
prolead7 July 2023
This movie is a disgrace to Malayalam movies, the amount of overacting, ham acting and unnecessary sensationalising of the story gets on your nerves.

Absolutely amateur direction and story telling, made a mountain out of a mole hill. Every single aspect of this movie is a disaster. Why would Malayalam film industry be reduced to a low grade Bollywood wannabe? Bollywood movies suck as it is and now south trying to copy Bollywood sensationalism is cringe.

They took a legitimate topic and made a mockery of it. Wish I didn't watch this disaster. Malayalam actors are known for their life like acting but this movie was just cringe watching all the actors especially Shine Tom Chacko who just gets on your nerves every time he comes on screen with his ham acting.

Corrupted media
aashiqsuresh28 June 2023
India media raking 190 , media is creating fake new day by day for their revenue , negative news making is it at peak level , they are not honest in reporting the true news ,if it is a girl case they make it as masala to get reach in people to get revenue from it. Online media nowadays fake news factory they can tell anything in youtube,facebook,instagram to get revenue. No one will question them or no law . They create a fake story on anyone and publish , the victim want to prove that it's a fake news with evidence . Without any evidence media can report anything on anyone. Now india government also support.
