Not just a case of marketing gone terribly wrong. It's an awful movie too
29 January 2024
I went in expecting a movie that appeals somewhat to the masses. I knew it was a Lijo movie. But the marketing guys had hyped it up to the sky. So, I expected at least one or two mass scenes. But I was disappointed. The movie goes at a snail's pace. I hoped there would be a good story. But the movie couldn't keep me hooked on in the story/script department too. It has a very boring story.

I thought the movie would pick up after the interval. But it never happened. The stunt scenes were just average. Not something I had expected after the huge marketing stuffs they had put out before. The background music was even worse during the fight scenes.

The last 30 - 40 minutes of the movie tested my patience. It was a mono act by Hareesh Peradi. I could hardly stand it. At the end, they have clumsily added some plot to make a sequel for this movie. But I don't think it's ever going to happen. Heard the movie tanked at the box office.

Mohanlal was in great form. He looked great, his costumes and makeup and all those areas were great. He did his best in the action department. But there is only so much he can do in such an awful movie.

Some of the vfx used were also great. Almost felt like I was watching a different movie when those vfx filled scenes came up.

Some shots too. They were beautiful to look at. But without an engaging story or anything else, those shots were practically wasted. Can be used as the wallpaper of your phones or computers.

I wish they didn't hype up this movie this much before the release. When it's available for streaming, probably you can watch it once.
