Irul's trailer got everyone excited. The suspense thriller had Fahad Fasil plotting murders, Darshana Rajendra trying to escape her fate and Soubin Shahir giving weird symbols. The trick editing of the trailer added much to the ensuing drama on the screen. The movie hit Netflix at the midnight and since then fans have been pouring in their disappointment about the film. While they applauded the theme, many found its sketchy writing ruining the experience completely There were also those who called it outright terrible.

Some advice that may work...
One-time watchable, gets predictable at the climax..could have worked better if Fahadh and Soubin Shahir's roles were swapped.. #Irul

What a drag but good acting!
Watched #Irul on @NetflixIndia
Wonderful cinematography. Just another day for Fahadh & Soubin in the world of extremely good acting!
Disappointed with the ending and the drag, but a good watch anyway!!

Written flaws
#Irul (2021)
A thief, A crime novel writer & A lawyer stuck at a home in night when it's heavily raining outside
There is a dead body in the basement of the home
One among (theif & writer) the two is the killer & what happened that night
Lot of flaws in writing still decent pic.twitter.com/tcolYtL3ev

When just good actors aren't enough...
I don't know about you but #Irul was terrible. That script was unsalvageable even with the most brilliant of performers.

The feeling of emptiness
#Irul A twist or a shock-ending would have done justice to the casting, the set up and the build up. A gift box within a gift box within a gift box leads to an empty box.
