Veteran cinematographer Madhu Ambat:
I went to see “Thamasha” because my friend Uma was involved in it. I really liked the movie. it had a perfect blend of humor and seriousness. Very difficult to achieve as a scriptwriter. All the actors performed really well. Vinay Forrt, with whom I had worked in Clint, gave an excellent portrayal of the character. But then I always knew he is a terrific actor. The surprise was Chinnu. #ChintuChandni What an actress she is. She carried the role very well on her shoulders. Congrats Vinay and Chinnu. Though Uma had little to do in the movie, she did it with a natural grace. Congrats Uma.
Can’t believe this is the debut film of Ashraf Hamza. he has handled all the actors very well. If all the the actors in the film performs well, the credit goes to the director. His shots had freshness in the approach. And he is the scriptwriter also. Congrats Ashraf.
I recommend this film very strongly. I am seeing such a good Malayalam cinema after a long time. It is a must be seen movie.
We expect many more films like this from you, Ashraf…
Popular television host Dhanya Varma:
Love the fact that the movie has broken all conventional norms…the lead characters go on to prove that a good story doesn’t need larger than life heroes or heroines. When I saw premam I felt like I wanted to see more of Vimal sir, I saw him again in sreenivasan sir and what a joy that was! A box office success just needs a good story and well written characters ..proved yet again… Matters close to the life we lead now…social media, body shaming et al touched upon with no unnecessary drama…actors that were so natural that I felt like I was viewing a slice of life and not a movie…easy breezy, yet touched our hearts…
Congratulations team tamasha!
‘Luca’ director Arun Bose:
Saw Thamasa, I must say Vinay Forrt, you stole the show. What an amazing performance, body language. Absolute delight to watch. Long way to go bro, may there be more fantastic characters like this in your career. Hoping to work with you sometime. And Arun Kurian, you did a great job too. 🙂 It was also nice to see a lot of my fellow teammates of Luca, from Art team under the captainship of Anees Nadodi in front and behind the camera of Thamasa. The film was such a pleasure to watch. Congratulations to the whole team.
‘Sayana Varthakal’ director Arun Chandu:
Sweet simple film with great performances. Vinay Forrt bro! Its a joy to watch you on the screen as Sreenivasan mash! Terrific! Casting of thamasa is stellar. All actors did the best. Arun Kurian great to see you in such finely made films, looking forward to meenaviyal . production quality is also worth mentioning since the film is not a big budget one. real
