a while back i sat down with my dinner to watch a movie, it had the cast that showed promise, it had the genre i like, but it lacked the execution i wanted.

but oh boy oh boy…………the movie is so bland its so hard to put it in words, but i will try to do some justice to it (i guess).

movie starts with some promise with its intense scene and atmosphere you think you are in a treat for a thriller action movie with a revenge plot as its basis. As we are shown the antagonist gang members controlling the city being killed by an unknown assailant. I swallowed my first bite by this point. after about 30 mins the title is shown, to me the last good mins of the movie for as the title sequence which was a animated sequence started i had premonition movie is gonna suck.

from here on we are introduced to the main protagonist who was revealed to be the mystery assailant Dr. Mikhael John (Nivin Pauly) a kind hearted man, a karate expert and unlucky romantic. then the back story of how he caused his dads death when he was a child by underage driving is shown this is the first bad scene in my eyes though its not a bad plot it goes nowhere and is shot so oddly that i honestly was laughing how it played out.

bad scene 2 – the catalyst to the whole story, is the suicide of a don’s (Siddique) son because of being humiliated by Mikhael’s sister (Navani Devanand). and the don wanting to act out revenge. again just like earlier scene this also feels so fake and inorganic. i had finished one roti and was wondering why i sat down for this.

i dont think i should go on continuing listing all bad scene for me that list would be too long for this movie is one bad scene after another. one thing i noticed after counting so many of odd scene is that the actors sometimes themselves realised how crappy this movie they are in is as the lifelessness seen in their eyes when the act the scene was becoming more and more evident.

there is this one scene i just have to mention it was so odd to me in its placement and way enacted that i had to pause my dinner and the movie and think for a few minutes why it was so, Marco Jr. (Unni Mukundan) the final bad guy of the movie even though he literally serves no function expect the final action fight, Is in serach of Mikhael and tracks down his house then goes in and takes a bath while waiting for him to arrive, and leaves after the bath as mikhael doesnt arrive. this is when i shut down my brain and concentrated on the food.

i finished my dinner, thanked the gods for the meal and cursed the existence of this movie and went to sleep.

now i am not saying this movie is a shipwreck, who am i kidding its a shipwreck on a train wreck during a traffic jam. did it make sense ,NO just like this movie. please don’t watch it

60 movies down……………….440 to go

see you soon

Pinne kaanam (malayali goodbye)
