There is nothing left on this earth that is unaffected by a hurricane pandemic. Is this our way of life, relationships and how to maintain them? In this case, even our eating habits have changed or changed in one way or another.
Only Malayalam cinema has dared to translate the world twice since the screen pandemic. First with the brilliant Macbeth, who retells Joji with Fahad Faasil and the rest of Sunny from Jayashurya.
This is a very complex land. We are still in a phase that tests us all.
Solar writer Ranjit Sankar chose a minimal period to project his story, a significant challenge. An isolated man quickly sinks into his demons and is about to give up.
We saw him after he landed in India and was likely part of a scam in Dubai. The rest are layers that Sankar’s writing uncovers in the next 93 minutes. Do I still have to explain the challenge?

Sunny is a movie where everything is connected. No department can leave a void that is covered by another. What is needed is the details of the universe. And that’s what Sankar did with his team at the top. Forget the basic precautions that appear on the screen.
He even highlighted the concerns we have raised by callers for Coronavirus Fight over the past year. There was a confession of stress, a struggle to be alone in a room for weeks. And on top of that, the desire to have a human relationship with you against the backdrop.
Sunny, the title hero, has her battle. While battling the virus, he also acknowledged his struggles. He had almost no one to turn to. An estranged marriage, stabbed to death by friends and with no possible insight of relatives. He is left alone in the world and loneliness is multiplied as he remains isolated.
He looked back on his whereabouts and considered living. To give him hope, Sankar plants heroes around him. For the first time, a taxi driver hints at deception in Sunny’s life, a cop who comes to the aid of Sunny, a psychologist. He also develops a fatherly relationship in isolation with the man and woman who became his girlfriend does not meet him in person.

Due to the exact execution time, everything is precise.
You long for the sun to see someone without a veil, and you can feel the moment. But in my opinion, execution time itself is the biggest villain. Everyone was suspicious of Sunny when she ordered an insulated suit from Hyatt. Of course, we understand his estranged marriage’s entire nooks and crannies (I won’t spoil it), but it’s a delusion as to why we don’t know the details. Where did this money come from? Maybe more than 15 minutes and a more detailed explanation works wonders.
Imagine that you are the only person in a picture where all your stars are nothing but the voices of some other actor for every second. Chase, right? Jayashurya deserves all the credit for taking on this role in the first place. She’s not shy about showing off her curves and extra pounds. There is a sense of connectedness, and you can immediately see yourself in it.
He was flustered the first time he hit, on the verge of being declared insane.
He burned his passports, all of you. So you know what I’m talking about. He wanted to kill himself, but he was also afraid. He accepts that he is an unbeliever but also breaks. But he also tends to make phone calls and cry for them when they are in pain. This is a character you can make as a case study in psychology class, and Jayasurya will play him as he knows it.

Thankfully, Ranjit Sankar hasn’t done more to overstate the world after the screen pandemic. He keeps things as smooth as they are in the real world. Catharsis is on Sunny, and the world sees her like everyone else Hyatt has checked for isolation. This is a win. The fact that he is also a writer is in his favour. He translated what was on paper because he was the first to form it.
