‘Balan: The Boy’ ratings
According to ET Times, the movie garnered 3.0% critic and viewer ratings. The review reads, “While the film has its share of taut moments, the emotions remain surprisingly muted. Particularly in the climax, although the resolution is interesting, the lack of a stronger emotional build-up prevents it from reaching its full potential. The right emotional beats could have lifted the film to another plane, but the ending feels somewhat underwhelming.”While the first part was heavily praised for its “novel idea, layered storytelling, and excellent performances,” the second half supposedly fell short of hitting the mark. The review also added, “However, there are also a few niggling holes in the script and some jarring characterisations that feel discordant with the rest of the film. While Farzana Palathingal’s restrained performance works well in conveying the mystery and troubles of her character, the script fails her when it comes to conveying emotions.”‘Balan: The Boy’ stars Farzana Palathingal, Chandu Salimkumar, Girish A.D., Jean Paul Lal, Ganapathi, Beena Antony, and many others.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
