Hey Jude movie review: Live audience response

Noted filmmaker Shyamaprasad has teamed up again with Nivin Pauly for his latest film Hey Jude after working together in Ivide and the anthology English. Tamil actress Trisha Krishnan is making her Mollywood debut with the flick, which also has Vijay Menon, Aju Varghese and others in the cast.

Four musicians — Rahul Raj, Ouseppachan, M Jayachandran and Gopi Sunder — have composed one song each for Hey Jude, and the numbers have already impressed fans. While Girish Gangadharan has handled the cinematography, Karthik Jogesh has edited the flick.

The trailer has indicated that Nivin Pauly is playing the role of Jude, a chubby boy who seems to have social anxiety. Opposite him, Trisha enacts the role of a Goa-based Malayali named Crystal Ann Chakraparambu aka Crys.

Hey Jude is about a man's discovery of himself. It deals with the lives of two individuals. The situation that arises between them and how they start liking each other is the crux of the story. All the characters appear quirky and "have strange idiosyncrasies" as per the reports. 

The movie, which will hit the screens on Friday, February 2, has spiked a lot of interest with its promotional videos. Nivin Pauly's body language, especially with thick-framed glasses and dialogue delivery, have created curiosity in the minds of the viewers.

Will it live up to the viewers' expectations? See the viewers' reactions here:

#HeyJude - Girish Gangadharan makes wonders again with his magical frames. Everyone will fell in love with Goa with his visuals. Ouseppachan's background score is wonderful. Shyamaprasad scores big and hope it'll be the biggest hit in his entire career.
#HeyJude - Great debut for @trishtrashers in Malayalam with a bold and modern character. ❤Scores big as a Malayali girl after #Jessie in #VTV. All the supporting cast includes Siddique, Vijay Menon, Neena Kurup, Aju Varghese etc done great jobs.
#HeyJude - Beautiful feel good film depicting human emotions with love & friendship bonds in a Shyamaprasad style. Nivin plays a character similar to Mohanlal in Alexander The Great & Fahadh Faasil in North 24 Kaatham. He done full justice to the role & performed brilliantly.
#HeyJude - Interesting first half with good comedies & nice performances. Nivin plays a character similar to @twitfahadh in #North24Kaatham. Great debut for the super cool @trishtrashers . Siddique's counters are hilarious. Girish Gangadharan's visuals are the main positive.
