The undertones of the film are reminiscent of the 2018 film, Searching, which had a similar format and an equally engaging plotline. The entire film plays out on the laptop and phone screens of the different characters, as the video call romance turns into a digital hunt for the truth. But due to the novel filmmaking and well sketched out characters, the unoriginality of the plot isn’t concerning. The concept of the film is extremely predictable and doesn’t leave much room for imagination. It’s a fresh take on a done-to-death story. When Anu (Darshana Rajendran) goes missing, Jimmy (Roshan Mathew) enlists the help of his tech savvy cousin, Kevin (Fahadh Faasil), to find the girl and unleashes a pandora’s box of secrets. Directed by Mahesh Narayanan of Take Off fame and starring Fahadh Faasil, Roshan Mathew, and Darshana Rajendran in lead roles, C U Soon is a romantic tech thriller that follows a young couple’s budding romance and the events that follow the disappearance of the girl. A one hour thirty-eight minute film, shot entirely on an iPhone, in eighteen days, during the lockdown in India, emerges as the latest achievement for the Malayalam film industry.
