Big B

This is a real trend settter in malayalam .. everything is perfect from the casting to technical or locations and above all the director amal neerad with his classy visuals breaks the contemporary image of action films in malayalam ..

The story is simple but the narration makes it stylish .. The dialogs were crisp and sharp and well handled by mammootty the class actor in the country .. He takes film in his shoulder and the way he emotes walks dress everything gives the film a feel that malayalam has never seen before ..

If u love stylish film with some good real good emotions this is the film coz film like this never going to happen twice .. A must watch for those who love action films ..

This is a awesome, fantastic, movie. Mammootty has acted very well on this film. This is a awesome, fantastic, movie. Mammootty has acted very well on this film.

Just watch Four brother way better. Mammootty looks way too old for the role. Mother and son almost same age. They should've pick someone else for the roll. Actions look too fake and slow. Nowhere near close to four brothers.

A perfect a remake for the Hollywood movie Four Brothers released on 2005. And consider as the Best stylish movie of Malayalam. This movie was an average box office hit. But later after the release of the DVD/ Home screen it become a huge Trent and made Mammmootty's Character Bilal as the most fan following character in Malayalam. The fire is still on, that's why the announcement of Big-B's upcoming sequel "Bilal". The big waiting is still continuing.

The plot is fine. The standard basis for revenge is elevated by the community icon whose brutal murder starts the ball rolling. Her avenging angels are nobly motivated, and led by a classic antihero hero. The bad guys collectively possess all the political and financial corruption one expects, plus the toughest among them reeking of pure psycho sadism.

But somewhere between the director and editor the production went awry. Too many closeups on faces, even during action sequences, that killed the essential context for what we're seeing. In a gun battle we should be able to tell who's shooting whom, and where the shots are coming from. They failed badly on that element. Fast cuts during fights weakened the impact of those moments.

Those who don't need English subtitles were lucky to enjoy much better dialog than I got watching on Netflix. I'm used to deficiencies in translations from Indian cinema, but this gave us a much larger gap between what characters must have been saying and what I was reading. How hard can it be to find fully bilingual people to do these gigs properly? Hack jobs like this are an insult to the hard work of all the writers, actors and crew who delivered a better film than I was able to experience.
