Though the concept is new, the screenplay is rather slow and highly predictable. Scenes involving ISRO, could have been taken better care of. Also, everyday life in the village has been constantly told and retold, which makes it seem as though the movie has deviated from its subject. Some scenes, especially in the climax, have acting that seems too dramatic. All these could have been fine tuned for the better, prior to the movie’s release.
All said, ‘Appuchi Gramam’ looks like the first ep towards opening our eyes to scientific fiction. With a mind open to more masala than sidelined science and keen eyes to keep track of an example section of the entire village, you can encourage and laude Anand for his attempt.
