Of late, there's been an overall whirlwind of made-under-lockdown web arrangement and shorts, with socially separated entertainers and professionals working distantly to think of work that demonstrates that human inventiveness can never be secured. The amount of such work has been expanding exponentially, yet the quality has been variable. With the curiosity factor wearing off, we are presently transforming into requesting watchers: we can make home recordings on our telephone cameras as well, so what do you have that is exceptional?
It's as though the individuals behind C U Soon knew about this slight yet noticeable anxiety crawling upon us, particularly when we are encircled with streaming stages and their endless contributions. Makers Fahad Faasil and Nazriya Nazim, and chief Mahesh Narayanan get a story with shockingly recognizable diagrams and bestow it with new desperation and effect, making each edge of the 1 hour 38 minutes run time tally.
So numerous penniless young ladies in Kerala are tricked by vigilant specialists with Gulf employments that sound fit, however are really snares for the tissue exchange. Just half a month back, Khuda Haafiz, a Bollywood film with a similar reason came out, however while that went down the hefty on-activity drama course, C U Soon never takes its watchful gazes off the entrapped young lady and the youngster who gets attracted to her. The plot intelligently doesn't uncover every one of its cards in advance, and as Jimmy Kurian (Mathew), absolutely stricken by the pretty however grieved Anu Mol (Rajendran), finds that there might be more to her than meets the eye, and contacts his cousin Kevin Thomas (Faasil) for help, we are snared: what will occur straightaway?
The steady utilization of innovation is on full showcase in the film, reminding us how much our lives are stopped in the computerized circle. Additionally, in light of the fact that we as a whole have cell phones and online media accounts, it makes us powerless against individuals who need to follow us: there truly is no place to stow away. Jimmy, Kevin and his glum associate Sanjana (Liz) invest all their energy crunching PC keys, or tapping on their telephones. Talking is so a century ago. Presently we text. Furthermore, in the event that we happen upon somebody who has a telephone without a sim card, there is obviously something dubious going on.
The one thing that is unsettling in the greater part of these shot-on-camera-telephones films is the absence of profundity. C U Soon compensates for this by easing back things down, waiting on articulations, and permitting us to see what's happening. The activity generally occurs in Dubai (with a couple of darts into the US and Kerala) and the manner in which it unfurls, with the characters revealing corrupt mysteries behind grinning faces, it's all genuine and moving. One scene specifically is awful, and it obviously permits both Jimmy and Kevin to gain proficiency with two or three significant life exercises—being too guileless is as a very remarkable issue as is to naturally think the most noticeably awful of somebody, yet it is likewise never past the point where it is possible to compensate for it. Faasil's face is a guide, and we can perceive how he retains the difficult truth of the character he is 'researching', and how it influences him. Mathew too hops over his underlying frightful remark about 'call young ladies', and we show signs of improvement rendition of the carefree, wild Jimmy that we began with. It's somewhat difficult to accept this snappy difference in heart, yet that is alright: now and then, a second can be sufficient. What's more, it's likewise alright in light of the fact that we are pulling for these characters.
Which carries me to the energy that this film carries with it. Anything that Faasil does (Maheshinte Prathikaram, Super Deluxe, Kumbalangi Nights) brings happiness: here once more, he gives us an intricate character — not so much amiable, compromising, fringe sexist — and afterward he makes us perceive how conditions can make a little imprint, that change is a chance. Mathew is acceptable as well, as is Rajendran, and the supporting cast. In its brief term, C U Soon additionally figures out how to offer a sharp remark in transit honest ladies are attracted into the substance exchange, and how their families are frequently incapable to help.
