Alone

I have seen bad actors getting better after acting many movies, like Katrina Kaif and Arjun Kapoor. They are still not good actors but better than what they were. But Mohanlal becoming bad actor from an excellent extra ordinary actor is unbelievable. He used act with his eyes, body movements and stillness. Now it all look like caricature!

There are many 1 actor movies which are very captivating and make you feel at the edge, but this movie lacks that. It is plain boring and you see Mohanlal instead of Kalidas. There were some good moments but 85% are bad. Not a tight fast paced script which needed for this kind of movie.

Don't even try to watch it on OTT.

Director Shaji Kailas has made a good mystery/thriller movie that has only one character in "Alone". Mohanlal pulls off the one man-movie with ease and elegance. The movie has an average first half flowed by a good second half and climax. Go with low expectations and if you are a fan of the actor you may like it.

Performance wise we have Mohanlal on screen, and Manju Warrier, Prithviraj, Baiju, Siddique, and others as voice artists.

The dialogues could've been a little more sharper and that would've pulled the movie up a few notches. This is a welcome change for Lalettan in 2023. I am a fan of the actor and I felt the movie was overall a good watch.

Alone is a lugubrious and soporific exercise in cinematic futility that fails to elicit any semblance of interest or empathy from the viewer.

The film is also bereft of any plot, suspense, logic, or coherence, as it meanders aimlessly from one scene to another, with no discernible purpose or direction. The film is an affront to the intelligence and sensibility of the audience, who are subjected to a barrage of clichés, contrivances, and absurdities that defy all reason and plausibility.

The film is an insult to the talent and charisma of Mohanlal, who is reduced to a caricature of himself, mouthing platitudes and truisms that are neither profound nor relevant.

As a big mohanlal fan, I request him not to act in movies like monster and alone which is shot inside a flat alone for running time more than one hour. This movie was worse than monster. Going from kitchen to living room to bed room of a flat and vice versa is lagging to the core. Don't give lockdown excuses. Lockdowns are over. Normal life has returned. Such experiments of shooting with a single actor on screen and only voices of other actors won't work in Indian film industry. This movie has little resemblance to shutter island, Athiran etc . Only positive is Mohanlals acting and dialogue delivery . This movie is not even OTT worth.

I am shocked that such a pathetic movie is a product of Malayalam industry and it involves one of legendary actors like Mohanlal. It hurts!

I have a lot of respect for Mohanlal but his acting in this movie is horrible. Everything in this movie is horrible. Supposed to be funny jokes are cartoonish, mystery is childish, dialogues are over the top. IMO just like other characters, if mohanlal also disappeared from screen and voices were muted and just a blank screen was shown for 2 hours probably that would have been better movie.

This is just a naive mixture of ideas ripped off from Hollywood movies like shutter island, memento and tried to be served as a cerebral thriller. But ends up sending audience to coma.

Why do you need to copy Hollywood when you can give original movies like Drishyam. I am stunned that when Mammootty these days is delivering amazing movies which are pushing boundaries and making us think, why Mohanlal is acting in these stupid, pathetic movies. Mohanlal sir, please choose better scripts from now on.
