What ETimes says about this movie
ETimes wrote in its review of “Uir”: “Roshan Mathew’s performance as Ajeeb is reserved and convincing. His silence, hesitation and emotional control make the character believable. Vinoth Sagar and Baiju Santhosh’s performances are outstanding, while Athulya Chandran, Santhosh Thrivikraman and supporting characters contribute well to the down-to-earth mood of the film, which also explores the difficult balance between professional obligations and personal ethics.Despite some uneven stretches, Uyl’s emotional sincerity and his sensitive attempt to tell a socially relevant story are to be admired. It may not be a perfect investigative thriller, but it leaves behind a feeling of sadness, satisfaction, and moral unease. “
