The title "Corona Papers" sounds so intimidating and captivating but the movie was long, long, and even longer than it needed to be without heading in a particular direction. What a missed opportunity to make something grand!
DELICIOUS
-Let's start by appreciating just how handsome Shane Nigam looked, that haircut was very elegant. Siddique, Lal Jr and Gayathrie also looked refined!
-We love Shine Tom Chacko, we'll watch him any day any time; though he didn't have a big role, he still managed to leave an impression
-The cinematography worked well; Divakar Mani was intentional about the way he shot the characters to give us more insight about their feelings and personalities. The color grading was on point, it emphasized the dark, evil aura prevailing in the atmosphere
BLAND
-The big problem with Corona Papers was that it included A LOT of characters and wasn't heading straight to the point, making it long
There were many stories with many new characters. To the point that around 40-50 min into the movie, we were still wondering where we were going. Priyardashan, at times, has the tendency to bite more than he can chew, like he did in his Hindi movies (e.g. Bumm Bumm Bole, Katha Meetha)
