QLAB
Performances play a key role in this tragic love story. Let’s start with senior actor Siddique, who is an integral part of Qalb.
His appearance as Calpo’s dad makes a mark. The relationship between father and son is portrayed well. Though the police station scenes are cliched, Siddique is effortless in those sequences.
Ashiq delivers a subtle performance as the abusive father of Thumbi. In the end, when he cries, we don’t feel pity for him.
Neha Nazneen Shakil, as Thumbi, is good. But some of her scenes, especially towards the end, need more energy and emotions.
Ranjith Sajeev, as Calpo, gets a good screen space as the protagonist. This is his second movie after Mike, and the actor is here to stay. He is impressive, especially in the theatre fight sequence.
Lena, as Thumbi’s mother Sauda, is decent. Her expressions of fear and despair as the helpless mother who regains her strength at a particular point leave a mark on audiences.
