Hero Mallu singh Diamond Neckalce

Hero :

Mass movies are those which are expected to be entertaining/exciting/thrilling or to say the least Engaging.Unfortunately Prithvirajs Hero doesn't fit into any of the above categories though it was made up as a Mass movie.

What lets the movie down is an outdated screenplay and sloppy narration.The story that has been here since ages has been shaped up for Hero and has been executed with flashes,cut,fights,camera shakes all to form a below average flick.Prithviraj looks masculine with his oiled up muscles and thats all he had to do in such a script.Prithviraj could not overcome his aura which made him look alien among the local bunch of his colonywalas.Anoop menon was given some dialogs to score in and he did well.Thalaivasal vijay too did well.The heroine was ok. Other casts like tini tom,anoop,nedumudi,kapac etc comes n goes.Srikanth didn't look apt for the character ,may be because of the dubbing.

Songs arent good as well.


Hero- Avoidable

Mallusingh -

Another one in the format of mass masala entertainment.But this for me was a watchable flick.Just because of directorial expertise of vysakh,an average script was churned out to a watchable stuff.

Unni as Mallusingh ,though most of the time had the same kinda expression managed to not let down the movie.Looks a sure bet for the future.

Kunchakko wasnt able to bring in laughters though he desperately tried to.

Biju Menon and Manoj did not have much to entertain as they did have in seniors.

Suraj was as usual.Samvrutha,roopa and other female leads were eye candy and gelled in well with the colourful frames set.Cinematography was of top notch with the beauty of Punjab tantalizing like anything.Songs are ok.

Mallusingh - Watchable entertainer.

Diamond Necklace :

Fahadh fazil is on a relevation these days.With his 22FK still running successfully, he has managed to bring in another succes story through Diamond necklace.Lal jose movie has some predetermined standards in the minds of malayalees but he hasn't been quite there in few of his recent outings.Well diamond necklace too isnt there exactly but has a lot of feel good factors to keep you entertained.Script by iqbal kuttipuram is good enough to bring in you close to life sort of feelings.

Some scenes in the second half like the joy alukkas advertisement and the (cliched) greedy aunts of fahads wife looked plastic and could have been presented in a better way.Fahadh has surprised with his second coming and he does again doing the diamond neckalce act!Heroines were good,especially gowthami and samvrutha.The third heroine looked a bit out of sorts,may be because her character is like that!

Songs are a treat...Kudos to Vidyasagar!

Diamond necklace - A good Watch!

Grandmaster, Cobra,22 Female Kottayam

Grand Master: A plot based on serial killing ,a game portrayed by the killer infront of a shrewd policeman Chandrashekhar...!Parts of the movie also deals with the personal side of Mr chandrshekhars life.

What strikes .......!

Mohanlal...A relief to see his cool act.Looked trimmed,well toned and neat.

Direction: Unnikrishnan's best work till date as a director.

Babu Anony's performance was a surprise from what he presented in Cobra!

Rest of the cast too fitted in well!

What Don't......:

Script: First half wasn't engaging untill the killings showed up. The lags were intermittently present between the engaging scenes throughout the plot . The suspense story looked ordinary to the build up given to the series of killing.

Songs:One of the songs,(the first one) sounded good.The rest could have been avoided.

On the whole Gm is a neatly presented flick from B unnikrishnan.

Cobra: Lal has been successful with his hariharnagar series and he tries to repeat the same slapstick formula with Mammootty in the lead . The storyline seems to be pretty silly with the twin brothers in love with anything that starts with ko...!

+ ....

Mammootty - Looked like he enjoyed what he did in the screen.Energetic perfo.

Lal-repeats what he does best.

Salimkumar- Does his usual stuff.

Ente nenjinullile song

Boxing ring fights.
- es....

Script

Could have come up with something more convincing.The story looked half baked.

Some comedies made the characters look so silly!

The 2nd song.


On the whole Cobra is just another attempt to make merry on pre made formulas.Watchable Entertainer if you love to watch crappy entertainers!

22 Female Kotttayam

A revenge story that revolves around a nurse, her lover and his boss.A very well crafted movie.

+....

Rima kallingal...sure to sweep some awards with this perfo...

fahadh.....Though similar kidn of roles n looks...he has been very effective in presenting them convincingly....

pratap pothan,sathaar,tg ravi....all did well....

Aashiq abu displays his class.

Camera....

Well made script.

-ves

Some of the dialogues could have been avoided and looked like inserted for showing the bold approach of the movie makers.....

Bold attempt...Worth a watch with friends or alone.....Not for the kids!!!
