    VILLAIN STORY: ADGP Mathew Manjooran, returns to work after a seven-month sabbatical, only to take voluntary retirement. His last day has him investigating a case involving triple murder, including a police officer. Soon a pattern emerges and each clue also links Mathew. How is the veteran police officer tied to the murders and who is the real villain?

    VILLAIN REVIEW: Towards the end of Villain, a heated dialogue between its lead characters Mathew Manjooran (Mohanlal) and Sakthivel (Vishal) rages on. The five-minute scene touches upon dictatorship, vigilantism, taking law into one's own hards, injustice, hate and love. The narrative of director B Unnikrishnan's latest investigative thriller is sort of like the dialogue - it tries too many things, ultimately leaving the viewer disconnected.

    The film begins with a triple murder while not revealing the ones behind it. Enter, its protagonist ADGP Mathew, who returns to work after seven-month sabbatical he took to cope with a personal tragedy, only to take voluntary retirement. His last day has him investigating the murder case as a token to his superior officer.

    However, as the case drags on, Mathew's expertise as an astute sleuth is called upon and he starts connecting the dots. As a pattern emerges, Mathew finds himself as a common link. How is his past tied to the murders and who is the real villain? These questions take the plot forward.

    Mohanlal as the veteran cop, who has endured pain but masks it, showcases his finesse as an actor. One of the strengths of the film is that it doesn't bank on his superstar image and rather focuses on the narrative, which at times is choppy at best. The viewer is sometimes presented Mathew's flashback, his current investigation, another officer's inference into his past and the murderer's next crime. The sloppy editing makes it a disjointed, less than engaging experience.

    The first half of the movie takes its own sweet time establishing the characters and the plot - but the insipid pace is a deadening. While the director somewhat manages to salvage it in the second half with the killer's motive and the meeting between Mathew and Sakthivel, he doesn't quite use the opportunity to serve the audience any twists and rather lets the narrative slack.

    Vishal does justice to his role but doesn't quite come up as a seeming match for Mohanlal's persona of a cop. Manju Warrier, Hansika, Raashi Khanna and Siddique play their parts well despite the limited screen time. The movie's BGM by Sushin Shyam adds to the tense scenes and the action sequences too are choreographed well.

    Don't go expecting a mass entertainer as the movie isn't a pacy, atmospheric thriller like last year's Oppam but is a tad above Unnikrishnan's previous attempt Grandmaster when it comes to mohanlal's performance

    ഏകദേശം 28 വർഷങ്ങൾക്ക്‌ മുൻപ്‌ ഇതു പോലൊരു ഒക്റ്റോബർ മാസത്തിൽ ഒരു ചിത്രം ഇറങ്ങിയിരുന്നു....
    അതിന്റെ ക്ലൈമാക്സിൽ അതുല്യനായ ഒരു നടൻ ചിരിച്ചു കൊണ്ട്‌ കരയുന്ന രംഗം മലയാള സിനിമാ ചരിത്രത്തിലെ തന്നെ എക്കാലത്തെയും മികച്ച അഭിനയ മുഹൂർത്തങ്ങളിലൊന്നായി കണക്കാക്കപ്പെടുന്നു.....

    ചിത്രത്തിന്റെ പേരു ദശരഥം.....

    നടൻ മോഹൻലാൽ.....

    28 വർഷങ്ങൾക്കിപ്പുറവും ആ അഭിനയ ചാരുതയുടെ തിളക്കത്തിനു ഒരു പൊടിക്കു പോലും മങ്ങലേറ്റിട്ടില്ലെന്ന് ഇന്ന് ബോധ്യമായി......

    ചിത്രത്തിന്റെ ദോഷങ്ങൾ അക്കമിട്ട്‌ നിരത്തി വാദിച്ചോളു,ഈ ഒരൊറ്റ സീൻ മതി എനിക്കതെല്ലാം കണ്ടില്ലെന്നു നടിക്കാൻ....

    Villain Movie Review: Mohanlal, The Actor Is Back..!! Posted By: Akhila Menon

    [​IMG]

    Villain Story Mathew Manjooran is a police officer who takes a break from the force after an unexpected tradegy in his personal life. He later re-joins the force, only to quit. But, Manjooran is forced to take over the investigation of a serial murder case, upon the insistence of his senior official.

    During his investigation, Manjooran crosses path with Dr. Shathivel Palaniswamy, a man with a dark past and hidden intentions. How Shakthivel influences Mathew Manjooran's investigation, and what happens between the duo forms the crux of the story.

    Cast & Crew

    Mohanlal As Mathew Manjooran Mohanlal is simply phenomenol as Mathew Manjooran. The actor has delivered his best performance in the recent times, as the aged cop who struggles to get over a personal tragedy. His extraordinary performance, especially in a couple of emotional sequences, will definitely give you goosebumps. We are happy to welcome back the actor in Mohanlal, after a very long break.

    Script & Direction: B Unnikrishnan B Unnikrishnan, the writer-director has helmed an out-and-out emotional thriller. He has succeeded in brininging out the best from his actors, thus making Villian rich with some extraordinary performances. But the movie definitely has its own flaws. The lack of an innovative storyline, absence of freshness in the making style, and the lack of clarity at certain points of the narrative are the major drawbacks. The screenplay doesn't provide enough space for all the characters, as some of them are totally wasted.

    Vishal As Dr. Shakthivel Palaniswamy Vishal, the popular Tamil actor has made a great debut in Malayalam, by the essaying the character Dr. Shakthivel Palaniswamy to near perfection. The actor simply excelled with his perfect dialogue delivery and amazing performance, especially in the face-off scenes with Mohanlal.

    Manju Warrier As Neelima Mathew Manju Warrier is just wonderful as Neelima, Mathew Manjooran's loving wife. Even though she has a very limited screenspace, the actress delivered a brilliant performance in the movie, especially in the emotional sequences. Her exceptional chemistry with Mohanlal is an absolute treat to watc

    Hansika Motwani As Sreya Hansika Motwani makes a decent debut by playing the role of Shakthivel's love interest, Sreya. She makes a mark with her matured performance and impressive dialogue delivery. The actress could have been utilised better in the movie.

    Raashi Khanna As Harshita Chopra Raashi Khanna has also made a decent debut, by delivering a decent performace as Harshita Chopra, a young cop. But her character was left behing in the movie after a point, which is disappointing.

    The Supporting Cast Telugu actor Srikanth was totally wasted in his not so important role. The rest of the star Siddique, Renji Panicker, Aju Varghese, Chemban Vinod Jose, Idavela Babu, Kottayam Nazeer, Balaji Sharma, Vishnu Govindan, Antony Perumbavoor, etc., have essayed their respective roles to near perfection.


    Cinematography: Manoj Paramahamsa Manoj Paramahamsa, the renowned cinematographer makes his Mollywood debut as the DOP of Villain. The cinematographer has totally succeeded in making the movie an absolute visual treat. As we all know, Villain is the first ever 8K movie of Indian cinema.

    Music: 4 Musics & Sushin Shyam The songs composed by the 4 Musics band are just okay. The Kandittum Kandittum song, which is sung by Dr. KJ Yesudas, is a treat to watch in theatres. The background score composed by The Great Father fame, Sushin Shyam is brilliant, and creates the perfect mood for the emotional thriller.

    Editing: Shameer Mohammed Shameer Mohammed, the editor has done a good job with the movie, with moves forward through a non-linear narrative. But, the slowpace might not impress the audiences who expect a racy thriller.
    Verdict Villain might not satisfy the audiences, who expect a nail-biting theatre experience. But is undoubtedly an impressive emotional thriller. Watch it for the magnificent performances of Mohanlal, Manju Warrier, and Vishal.
