C U Soon is the latest Malayalam movie to directly drop on Amazon Prime streaming service.
It is directed by Mahesh Narayanan (Take Off) and produced by Nazriya Nazim - Fahadh Faasil. It is a screen-based film such as Searching and Unfriended.
The entire story of C U Soon happens on phone or computer screens and yet draws our unwavering attention.
C U Soon doesn’t let you take the eyes off the screen even for a nanosecond. You will not only get invested in the story but also root for the characters that we are not given many details about.
There are many filmmakers that are making movies during the pandemic with limited resources, but none of those can come half close to what Mahesh Narayanan and his team have pulled off.
The story is based on real incidents and shows us how our lives can be tracked using the data traces we leave on social media and our smartphones.
In Dubai, a couple (Roshan Mathew, Darshana Rajendran) meets on tinder and within no time starts to live in together. But after a few days, the girl goes missing and the boy is taken to the police station.
What happened to her? The boy’s cousin, who is a cyber sleuth (Fahadh Faasil), starts digging into the details about her with the fragments of digital information that is available.
Despite the story happening entirely on phone and computer screens, C U Soon keeps you hooked to the screen with its engaging storytelling techniques and also moves you emotionally.
It is a pathbreaking experiment that sets a benchmark in the Malayalam cinema.
C U Soon is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
