19(1)(a) is Vijay Sethupathi's proper Malayalam debut(though he had a cameo in marconi mathai as himself). There were some decent expectations on how this film would be despite having a direct OTT release. But the movie was absolutely a drag.
Vijay sethupathi plays gaurishankar, half tamil half malayalee writer and freethinker. He is assassinated before publishing his next book. It is given to nitya menon who runs a photostat shop. How nitya gets fascinated towards gauri and his writings is the rest of the movie.
Barring nitya menon and her friend character, none of the other characters are well developed. Vijay sethupathi was like an extended cameo. His character could have been well explored but looked like the makers ran out of his dates.
Absolutely flat narration, good they released it directly on ott.
