Turbo

A masala film more associated with Tamil/Telugu movies, where logic left town in a hurry. The story and treatment is at least 15 years old, so the plot gets pretty much predictable. Fights are outlandish, seen in hundreds of movies, despite the villains getting beaten with a fire extinguisher, rifle butt, chain links or other weapons they keep bouncing back. Really !!!

Mammotty needs to pick more realistic storyline, as these type of movies don't do justice to the caliber of actor he is.

Coming to the villain. A scrawny bald guy with an anorexic personality, no matter how menacing he was made out to be, isn't very convincing.

Vysakh is quickly using up all the goodwill he had built with movies like Pulimurgan. He is turning out to be just another director out to make a quick buck at the expense of the viewer. If you expect to see something new in this movie, you will not find it here.

Maybe I made a mistake in watching this movie after watching Thalavan. Even in the first 10-15 minutes, the template of the movie was reveled. The director and production team should realize that Mammootty despite being the stalwart hero he is, age does defy its terms. When you cast a heroin who is young enough to be his granddaughter, the chemistry just doesn't mathematically equate and the audience wouldn't digest it that easily. Even for that matter the fight scenes where the hero hits and the goons fly like frisbee... what is this? Are we still in the 90s? Mammootty doesn't have to be projected as a superhero anymore. It is like expecting Sachin to bat for two days on a New Zealand test pitch against current bunch of bowlers. Anjana's role resembled much like the one in Pachu. I m glad that they brought in someone like Shetty which is refreshing. And that is the reason why i give 4!!

Turbo needed to be a full-on campy action comedy rather than attempting to be sporadically serious. It's almost like Vyshakh knows the script lacks the emotional hooks, so it's up to his directional choices to jump in and save the day, alongside a fun, 90s-throwback protagonist played by Mammooka. Vyshakh definitely delivers when it comes to the action, and there are at least a couple of exciting set pieces (including a superbly staged car chase) that'll keep you engaged, if not invested in the leads' fates. Anjana Jayaprakash, who plays the leading lady, is also good.

Bindu Panicker is in fantastic form, getting the best one-liners (and pop-culture references) in the film. Raj B Shetty is simply exploring new avenues, and while his antagonist is pretty one-note, he's still a few notches above your run-of-the-mill psycho. Midhun Manuel Thomas' writing doesn't offer a lot of highs (or lows for that matter), but lucky for us, he's aiming for low hanging fruit. Christo Xavier's score worked for me in bits and pieces, and not as a whole. Turbo only intends to be a disposable entertainer, with hints of a sequel that doesn't really even need to happen.

~ ' Turbo ' directed by Vysakh and written by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring the legendary Mammootty , Raj B Shetty , Anjana Jayaprakash and Bindu Panicker is a mass entertainer powered by the brillaint action choreography, Christo Xavier's background score and the man himself Mammukka. As an Mammukka fan myself I enjoyed the film a lot. Lots of whistle worthy moments , humour that worked and an amazing theatre experience. The action sequences were superb with the scores by Christo and Mammukka doing action at age 72 at this level was a joy to watch. Mammukka absolutely stole the show , while I felt Raj B Shetty's character could have been written better , he still does the job. An character I loved other than Turbo Jose was Sunil as Auto Billa and Bindu Panicker as Rosamma , they were simply brillaint and had lot's of comedic gags that were hilarious. Anjana Jayaprakash and Shabareesh Varma done well but an underrated performance would be of Kabir Duhan Singh as Vincent who had an commanding screen presence. The film overall matched my expectations and was a joyful event but I have to say the film's story is a cliché one and it could easily be an average experience for some. The essence of this film lies in it's making and nothing else, also the climax portion was great. If watched in a packed theatre it could improve the film viewing experience.

Don't watch this movie if you're sick of clichés. The screenplay for the film is so conventional and immature. Some mass dialogues dedicated to making the scenes more powerful are turned into a line drawn in the water. Prominent performers attempt to deliver humorous lines, but without acting, they lose their impact. For certain scenes, certain performers are superfluous. If the goal of this film was to amuse viewers, then it succeeded. But why should the audience be amused by shady acting and irrelevant background music? This film's plot is incredibly implausible and unfit for a great star. The movie was utterly destroyed by its primary elements, such as the twists at the end. This film might do well at the box office. However, it is not worthy of pretending to be a fine one. Even debut directors can do better than this.
