4/25/2023 0 Comments Attention attention movie castWriter-director Jithin Issac Thomas has already proven himself an inventive storyteller with his segment from the recent Malayalam anthology, Freedom Fight, released before Attention Please. And kudos to cinematographer Himal Mohan, editor Rohith, composer Arunvijay, and the entire technical crew for lending a sense of richness to what would've been just a long rant in a less-talented filmmaker's hands. In fact, every performer brings their A-game to the film, particularly Sreejith Babu, who recently delivered a scene-stealing turn in the much-acclaimed Aavasavyuham. Though wholly reliant on dialogues, the innovative storytelling and arresting performances ensure a boredom-free experience - at least, that's how my experience was. Who knew that a film about a group of cinema-obsessed youngsters talking about filmmaking would be this engaging? Who knew ordinary conversations would suddenly take a disturbing turn? Despite being set entirely inside a bachelor pad (yes, one or two characters go out and come in, but the film doesn't go out, not even once), Attention Please is not one of those films that fall prey to the usual talking head cliches. Some films, no matter how small the scale, work better on the big screen because of their top-notch technical quality. ![]() Why? Because it was one of the most gratifying film experiences I've had and there were only three people to watch it! What's happening? Now don't give me that 'OTT-friendly' excuse. Phew! After the screening, I was enraged. Seeing that I was alone, I wondered whether they would cancel the show. I was the first person to enter the screening hall. I watched Attention Please in Kochi's Sangeeta theatre, the only place where the IFFK-honoured film to which acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Karthik Subbaraj recently attached his name as co-producer, is being screened.
