Loved the whole aspect of this movie. Very different and entertaining also.. Not everyone's cup of tea though..
Tovino was on fire! Charming to the max, he exuded so much energy. He even took the effort to train hard to deliver very good dance performances. Weight reduction, body training are all evident when you see a youthful Wazim and then later on a mature one. He exceled in his performance as well as in action and dance.
This is another winner for Shine Tom Chacko as Reji (S. I of Police). With a wry smile yet menacing, Shine has to just show himself on screen and you are hooked, convinced and in for a ride with his character. This man has immense screen presence. Always a pleasure to see him perform. A natural!
Kalyani Priyadarshan as Fathima Beevi/Beepathu was pleasant and charming. Though there wasn't much meat in her character arc, she did her part well and I felt both Tovi and Kalyani looked good together.

Lukman Avaran was superb as Jamshi. I have never seen him in such an avatar. He really rocked in the action scenes as well. A terrific actor.
I really enjoyed Swathi Das Prabhu as Sathaar. I'm not sure if I have seen him before. As a sort of a wingman to Wazim, he was very entertaining to watch. He is a freind who is always by Wazim's side. We all have that friend.
Chemban Vinod was in a sort of cameo as Omega Babu. Johny Antony was excellent as Wazim's father. He brought the much needed grounded feel amidst the mayhem. Binu Pappu did his part well. Interesting to know that he was also the Chief Associate Director of the movie.
Director Khalid Rahman's range is incredible. From his debut feel good Romantic comedy movie "Anuraga Karikkin Vellam" to a politically charged black comedy "Unda" to a Black comedy psychological thriller "Love" to Musical Action Comedy "Thallumaala". Each movie is vastly different!
From beginning to end, this was a treat to watch. I have never watched such a movie from the Malayalam film industry, except Maybe LJP's 2015 movie "Double Barrel", which was another stylish over the top movie full of mayhem and confusion! It was a gangster parody movie.
Thallumaala is an offbeat, whacky, zany, chaotic, eccentric and extremely colourful movie! A wafer thin story line (no complaints as I don't always expect epic & intense stories) about Vloggers, Friendship, Romance, songs and very well choreographed fights. Look out for the "Movie Theatre Fight" (the best), "Wedding Fight" and the very creative and hilarious "Car Fight"! There are some sequences shot in Dubai and they look fab! And the use and reference to social media in this movie is spot on, which itself will be an attraction to today's youth and regular social media users. Costuming also needs a loud shout-out. Costume Design was by Mashar Hamsa. The Costume department must have been on a roll while deciding the costumes for this movie. Stylish is underrated here. Colours splashed everywhere, everyone looked uber cool and in sync with the environment that the movie created.
. If u are looking for something unique and different do give a shot..
