‘Bougainvillea’ Left Fans ‘Disappointed’
#Bougainvillea – Not Upto The Mark & Disappointed!!
A Slow Paced Good First Half & They Maintained a Mystery To The Second Half.. But Failed To Execute that in Second Half.. Only Few Portions Get The High & Also Failed in Revelings
Fafa Has Nothing & KUBO’s New Try Was Good https://t.co/fIwMCPwjxI pic.twitter.com/CVIM8nsmPQ

Stellar Performances By Chackochan, Jyothirmayi & FaFa
#Bougainvillea is a terrific film by Amal Neerad. A different one from the director who is known for stylish filmmaking. A psycho-thriller which has a solid plot and power packed performances by Kunchako Boban, Jyothirmayi and Fahadh Faasil #FahadhFaasil pic.twitter.com/94ZjBtcDXk

Impressive Acting & BGM
Watched #Bougainvillea
As a fan of the novel, I can definitely say this film is only 50% of it.
More buildups, Less outcome.
Liked 1st half. 2nd half👎
Climax ep very weak.
Jyothirmay & Chackochan superb. Fafa & Veena miscast.
Top Visuals & BGM.
0 wow moments
2.75/5

‘Bougainvillea’ Is A ‘Slow-Burn Psychological Thriller’
#Bougainvillea ✅ – 3.25-3.5/5. A decent psychological drama which has subtle neat 1st half and an intense inconsistent 2nd half. Technically very strong film as usual expected from Amal. Music was good. Acting was good too where KuBo and Jyothir did well. Could’ve been better 😏 https://t.co/YN3yPcCOW7

There are reports suggesting that Bougainvillea is adapted from Lajo Jose’s 2019 novel Ruthinte Lokam, but the author himself has denied these claims, stating that the film’s plot is original.
