Saw the movie at the theater. Overall I don't think it was worth a theater experience, but still its a decent movie.

The starting part of the film lagged around a bit. Some parts seemed a bit unnecessary but I guess it was meant to establish Tovino's character. The second half of the film is much more exciting and thrilling. Nimisha does a wonderful job with her acting and Nedumudi Venu is good as well. In some aspects the movie reminded me of the Law and Order American TV series. It opened my eyes to various cases that happens in India.

I'd recommend it for the second half. However its not as good as Madhupal's previous films. I'd give it a 2.5/5.

Punjabi House is probably the most remembered of Rafi Mecartin's films from the 90s. The film has stood the test of time, and its jokes are still fresh and memorable to even now in 2018, 20 years later.

I think the film gave a big break to Dileep career's as a mainstream lead actor. But the success of the film lies on the slapstick comedic performances of Harishree Ashokan (as Ramanan) and Cochin Haneefa (as Gangadharan). They are just spectacular in this, and it's their performances that keeps you engaged. To support, there is Janardhanan, Indrans, Neena Kurup, Mohini and Lal who were all great.

Rafi Mecartin proved with this film that they were the next big masters of the comedy genre after Priyadarshan and Siddique-Lal.

This movie was awesome. I had a smile on my face as the end credits were rolling in. I was so engaged throughout the film, my eyes were glued to the screen. In one word, it was entertaining.

Action Hero Biju is different from other kinda cop films usually seen in Indian commercial cinema. This one is very realistic in style and shows the day to day activities of Sub-inspector Biju (Nivin Pauly). I was emotionally connected to the different cases Biju had to encounter. Nivin Pauly performed well for the most part, he was the apt choice to play SI Biju. The supporting cast all played their parts well, especially Suraj Venjaramoodu who gave a brilliant performance. The cinematography was good. Loved some of the shots in the film. That definitely gave a different perspective from the usual cop films. Jerry Amaldev's songs were good and the heroine was okay though most of her scenes seemed unnecessary.

Overall, an engaging and entertaining picture. Malayalam cinema is going through a good phase. Adipoli! 8/10

I saw this film with high expectations after watching Ennu Ninte Moideen and Amar Akbar Anthony. Heard this film was a commercial success as well. So I decided to give this a shot hoping it was a good entertainer. However I was disappointed. The film had several flaws with the script. And I hated the Prithviraj character Pammbu Joy. The first half and second half of the film appear to be like 2 separate films. Anyway they bring in an important issue through the second half of the film. Reminded me of the forgotten film Matinée from 2012. Paavada tried to be an entertainer but I was just frustrated and annoyed at several parts of the film. Though they did get my attention during the climax portions. G Marthandan has a lot more to improve on. It sucks to pay cash to watch a bad movie in a movie theater. On a positive note, some of the songs in the film are good to get a party started. ;-)
