"It`s easy to deal with numbers, but emotions are complicated," says Jude, the protagonist in Hey Jude directed by Shyamaprasad. Yes, the saga of a super intelligent Anglo-Indian youth Jude (Nivin Pauly) who battles Asperger syndrome and the world around him, is a bit complicated. The film that promised a lot through its trailers and video songs keeps the hopes alive during the early moments.

Lensmen Reviews
The ultimate agenda of Hey Jude directed by Shymaprasad is to show us the transformation of an Asperger Syndrome patient. And the slightly disappointing thing is that it is the only area where this movie is failing to convince us. While Nivin Pauly as an actor gives his full to convince the viewer, the screenplay wasnt investing fully into the transformation part and ultimately Hey Jude becomes a really different Shyamaprasad movie that doesnt show much interest in exploring the characters like the way the director did in his previous films.

Jude is a quintessential Shyamaprasad heroflawed, eccentric, unpleasant and in no hurry to please anyone. The narrative, terrain and characterisation, are all typical of the directors style but the script also meanders into a territory he has never experimented with before. Feel-good. Hey Jude, is the Shyamaprasad-esque version of happy, breezy, motivational cinema. But with all his tropes intact.

Hey Jude is a story of self-discovery. Albeit, a slow, run-of-the-mill one which could have done with a few pacey moments to make it more redeemable. And while the film has given its central characters Nivin Pauly and Trisha, a chance to experiment with their characters, it nails director Shyamaprasad`s reputation - of trailing the human emotion in a unique manner.
