Urumbukal urangaarilla I regret that I kept postponing this movie, especially given the name. But innale ithu kandu, and am floored. The best thing about this movie is it's script, and in particular its dialogues. And the character development. Kallanmarude oru universe thanne ithil sristikkunund with its codes and moral conduct. Saptamasreeyumayi chila samyangal thonaam engilum from a script point of view this is far better. Chemban Vinod and Karamana Jnr take the cake with their portrayals. Pinne eduthu parayendath Vinay Fortinte anayaasamaya abinayam. Pakshe oru cheriya issue aayithoniyath second halfilekk kadakkumbol kadhaparachilil vanna thaalapizhakal aanu, ath vare excellent aayikond poyirunnath pettannu ethoru commercial cinemayudeyum pole oru narrative aayi and with logical loopholes and predictable turn in events. Urumbukal play a role in the movie throughout and a pivotal role in the climax. Overall A+ for the effort gone behind the script and the performances (plus direction) but overall oru consolidation koodi undayrengi vere level povenda chithram. 4/5
Hmm.. enikkentho vallathe istapettu. Maybe ithokke avar thanne undakkiyathavaam but the 'code of conduct' that Aashan and Chemban teach Vinay Fort sounded authentic. Mathravumalla hats off to the attention to detail. Oru cheriya example would be Sreejith Ravi's characterisation as well as the character of that old woman who visits Chemban. Valare casual aaya visit aanengilum she also 'feeds' him with valuable information in return for his money. Kureyere kaalam koodi pucca 'natural' aaya kure charactersine kandu screenil, although in the second half things fell into typical commercial movie format, a shame

Harikrishnans - Palarum ithine thaaradichu paranjittundengilum ennum ente manassil oru guilty pleasure aanu ee chithram. Annathe oru vyavasthithiyum pinne annathe oru 13 vayassukarante manasthithiyum vechu kandaal innum ere ishtamulla oru chithram. Pinne annathe andhamaaya Lal fanship and Mam virodham maativechu innu oru neutral kanniloode kaanumbozhaanu ithile aluvayum mathikariyum pole thonunna Lal-Mam dwayangale sarikkum vishakalanam cheyyan saadhikunnath. Parayaathe vayya, it's one of those extremely rare movies where Mammooty the actor totally let himself down. Orupakshe Lal enna nadante swaabavikathayumaayi thattikumbo thante prakadanam mosham aanennulla orutharam feeling aano angere ingane aakiyath? And worse was that Lal essayed Krishnan like a cakewalk - chandralekhayilokke kanda aa "Lalism"vum pinne idakkepozho kaivittu poya sound modulationum okke kond mooparu thimirthaadi, and that made look Ikka even worse Anyways Fazil enna director kaanikan dhairyapetta 50-50 theoryum athinu Mohanlal enna producer sammathichu koduthathum kond mathram Ikka 'equal role'il rakshapettu poya chithram enu parayaam. The only time Ikka was atleast 50% of himself was during the last 10-15 minutes Engilum I love this movie for the sheer late 90s sensibilities - Fazil's last hurrah ennu thanne parayaam ithine. Plus the music. 3/5
