This is poetic justice; The disgrace of Pralayam Star that day; Today Real Star 2018
The flood of 2018 is a tragedy faced by all Malayalis regardless of caste and religion. The rescue operation that took place in Kerala on that day was an example that could be set before the world. Fishermen are the army that Kerala got unexpectedly while the government, police systems, youth, political parties and control rooms joined hands to save Kerala. When you read everything together, 2018 is not just a movie for Malayalis, it is also an emotion.
Judd Anthony Joseph’s making, performance of the actors, music and technical department are applauded. Tovino Thomas gets the most compliments of the bunch. Anupenna’s character has penetrated so deeply into the hearts of the audience.
You can predict how Tovino’s character will be just by watching the trailer of the movie. But that predictability doesn’t affect the audience’s enjoyment. This character arc is also Tovino’s strong area.
Tovino is a brilliant actor who portrays the innocent, good-natured, country boy through the train and kilometers and kilometers. Tovino has brought Anoop to the audience with ease. Anoop is so loved by the audience because the character is so close to Tovino in real life as well. It is doubtful if there is any other actor who reached out to people like Tovino during the floods. Anoop in 2018 marked Tovino during the flood.
Inspite of helping so much during the flood, he became a target of ridicule as the ‘flood star’. Trolls were created by combining the disasters happening in Kerala and Tovino films. Tovino is responding to those who mocked him throughout 2018. In 2018, when Tovino became a star and became the most popular character, it can be called the poetic justice of the times.
