Film critics in Kerala have noted "Boss" for its innovative use of negative space. Unlike the over-lit, dialogue-heavy mainstream Malayalam films, "Boss" tells its story through silence and glances. The BTS footage explains that the lead actor had only 12 lines of dialogue. The rest is physicality.
Online forums like r/MalayalamMovies have praised the BoomEx production design. One user writes, "The 720p rip of Boss looks like a 90s Wong Kar-wai film if he decided to make a gangster flick in Aluva. The BTS shows they lit everything with two LED tubes and a stolen traffic light." "Boss" is a 2024 Malayalam short film released

The BTS shows lead actor Shine Tom (not to be confused with the famous star, a rookie with a similar name) performing a 12-foot fall onto cardboard boxes. No crash mats, no VFX. The director, Riyas K., is seen yelling action from behind a dumpster while operating a Sony A7III. The raw, dangerous energy translates directly to the screen.
