At the interval stage now. .. (updated !)
The movie started reasonable, but soon it was evident that this was not going to be anything of the class the director delivered in Drishyam.
Then the trial started and the "classic masala" started pouring thru. With the defense lawyer doing a character assassination in court, something that has been disallowed for a long time now. Only to allow Mohanlal to deliver a punch dialogue shortly after.
Then the accused makes an another attempt at the victim, with goondas and all. Saw this is a masala movie, from the 90s??
Oh boy I am now trembling at what could exist going forward.
So far the homework by director and acting by "actors" are below par.
Post interval things, picked up a bit. From court room drama, it moves to crime investigation.
But there are bits of court room, so unlike what you see in Nna thaan case kodu or even Naradan.
The climax and situation leading to it was so predictable. I was wondering why this wasnt done even before, because it was a crucial question raised early on.
I changed my rating from 4/10 to 5, thanks to a few scenes in the 2nd half.
