‘Rifle Club’ hit the big screens on December 19, Thursday and the first reviews hailed Aashiq Abu’s magnificent direction, action sequences, and also one-liners. The movie is scripted by Syam Pushkaran, Suhas, and Dileesh Karunakaran.
‘Rifle Club’ has a stellar cast including Anurag Kashyap, Humankind, Dileesh Potha, Darshana Rajendran, Vani Vishwanath, Vineeth Kumar, and many others playing pivotal characters. The movie has an Amal Neerad, Tarantino style, which is getting immense praises from the audiences, although it relies on a simple storyline.
ETimes rated the film with a solid 3.5 out of 5 and our review reads, “The film is basically an elevator pitch story, but the writers skillfully keep the momentum fluctuating between calm and exciting, particularly in the first half; the second half has a bit of a lag, but viewers are kept glued to the story. Also, what they and the director have managed to really carry off well is the fact that the film is led stylishly by senior actors, Dileesh, Vijayaraghavan, Vani Vishwanath and others, while the glam youngsters are just a small part of the story. Bheera first goes to the club and reports back to his father over the phone that it is just a “club run by some oldies”. But we get a feel that these oldies have lives well-lived and won’t take crap from anyone.”
