After its limited release on November 8, the Malayalam action-thriller Moothon–written and directed by Geetu Mohandas–has also released in Delhi and Mumbai today. The film has been earning rave reviews ever since it was first screened at film festivals, and actor Nivin Paul’s performance has been widely appreciated. The film also stars Sobhita Dhulipala and Shashank Arora.
In case you’re planning to catch the movie over the weekend, then you can check out what Twitterati has to say before booking the tickets:

#Moothon: starts slow but builds up to a gritty yet moving portrait of life 5 relationships in a chaotic metro like Bombay. Takes a few steps that very few Indian films have taken so far.

However, strongly reminiscent of Salaam Bombay(1988)
And damn! Nivin Pauly can act and how! pic.twitter.com/XoqNnTClrk
I watched #Moothon over a week ago. It hasn’t left my heart. I haven’t struggled to hit my thoughts down on any movie like this. @geetumohandas What have you done! Mulla, Aamir and Ak.. kh..bar! Your world hasn’t left me. I hope it never will.

I have seen the movie thrice. My one opinion about the movie stays the same: the couple deserved the entire movie. Mulla deserved his own journey in a different movie.#moothon pic.twitter.com/wnSHpwVX0M

After Kumbalangi Nights earlier this year, #Moothon is the film that left me with this myriad of emotions. TENDER is the word! One of those films that leave you speechless even if you want to recommend it. Please go and see it on screens!

Dir #GeetuMohandas has made an uncompromising movie..
For fans of International Cinema..
#Moothon is pure brilliance. A director’s movie, @NivinOfficial at his career best and Geetu Mohandas is indeed the captain.

The sheer guts in daringly potraying the marginalised communities away from mainstream cinema! pic.twitter.com/fqzkpENldA
#Moothon was one of those movies that leaves you disturbed and speechless. Geethu what you did with @NivinOfficial will go down as his career best. The sensitive issues you touched, primitive yet a taboo, made us all feel helpless. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Two days since I watched #Moothon. Still reeling from the experience. @NivinOfficial Where were you all this while? What a performance man. So immensely proud.

Fk! Nivin Pauly can act! First thought on #Moothon

#Moothon Review: Bold Subject, @NivinOfficial ‘s performance, Roshan’s performance, @GeethuMohandas ‘s making stands tall & strong. Not a commercial package, it’s a offbeat film with a strong content & strong performances. 2nd half, BGM & DOP 👌🏻
— Snehasallapam (SS) (@SSTweeps) November 8, 2019
Must Watch.
Kudos to makers 👏🏻
#Moothon : Bold and beautiful. Effective handling of a taboo subject by Geetu Mohandas. Career best performance from Nivin, accompanied well by others. Nothing out of the world, but absorbing for sure.

The tender moonlit soul beneath all the grit and grime of #Moothon is the real triumph of @geetumohandas and #rajeevravi. So loving crafted!@NivinOfficial you are such a special artist! So much has already been said…but it’ll never be Enough!

Releasing Today!
I really liked @GeethuMohandas’ #Moothon. In the midst of the tight, angry, violent drama, there’s a tender same-sex love story narrated in a beautiful gentle way. @NivinOfficial is excellent! Good to see #AnuragKashyap backing the film.
