MASTERS n MAYAMOHINI

Masters!

Johny Antony is more well known for his cartoonish approach to cinema,but the man has also done decent thrillers like cycle before.He tries out another one here in the form of the Prithviraj Starrer-Masters.Based on an investigation of a serial killer,masters begins with an attempt to establish the bond between two friends done by prithviraj and Sasikumar,this unfortunately doesn't materialize,but there after the plot gets along well with the viewers.Direction for me didn't look awful,seems like the director preferred to use the old style of film making,without resorting to any torturous gimmicks!The suspense is predictable which lets the climax down.Prithviraj provides the fire and looks that is all required in such investigative movies.Sasikumar was a total failure and never looked in a mood to do this movie.The script demands attention and appreciation but got poorly executed at the climax.Salim kumar and Biju Menon requires some special mention for their roles.Most of the other characters have minimal roles to play which were safe with them.

Johny Antony has done a decent job though the climax could have been executed differently.Though Masters doesnt give you goose bumps,or pump out your adrenaline,it certainly gives you an engaging watch!

Decent Thriller!

Mayamohini-- THE QUEEN OF CRAAAPS!

Such kind of movies are a result of the undeserving attention malayalees had given to craps like karyasthan,pokkiriraja ,or to generalize to most of the recent udayakrishna sibi k thomas movies.Mayamohini is a pathetic attempt to make you laugh by remixing and reusing most comedies of previous Malayalam films.Almost 90% jokes are non vegetarian,surprising for a family movie,but even surprising is the fact the families are rushing to catch their seats for maayamohini.That is their trust on Dileep,perhaps the most bankable actor as far as families are concerned.The sad part is that this trust is getting misused by churning out craps like mayamohini,karyasthan etc!First half of the movie looked terrible for me except for some laughs here and there for baburaj,but the second half was utter crap that it made me feel that the first half was sort of ok!

Direction is fast paced but still cant hide most of the loopholes,because there were plenty of them in the script.Dileep looked irritating as mayamohini,but his efforts to take up such a character deserves applause.Script-How many times they have fooled the audience and still they does,but hope not the majority of them were happy this time!Sphadikam george ,Abu salem too were asked to try the Baburaj way ,but looked miserable with their comedies.Biju Menon and Baburaj evokes some laughter here and there.

Mayamohini - Hope the audience treats such movies deservingly,else more of the same genre will frequently jump out from the pipe line --- Avoidable!
