19(1)(a) is a 2022 Indian Malayalam-language film written and directed by debutant Indhu V.S. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nithya Menen and Indrajith Sukumaran in important roles. The film is produced by Anto Joseph and Neeta Pinto. The film marks Vijay Sethupathi’s debut, in a lead role in Malayalam and his second Malayalam film after Marconi Mathai.
What works
The plot seems interesting, the movie discusses the big issues such as the debate between the writer and the reader, freedom of speech and expression.
Nithya menen and Vijay Sethupathi’s performances deserve special mention.
What not works
Despite the presence of Vijay Sethupathi and Nithya Menen, it was seen as a film that falls tragically.
The drawback of the film is that the communication between the director and the audience did not go well. The director failed to present the idea convincingly. Many scenes were not emotionally connected and made no sense. It is also doubtful whether the film has done justice to the title or the communication has done justice to the core subject.
Bottomline
A misfired experimental film!!!
