Parole

Mammooty is now renowned for releasing films in quick succession, much to acknowledge his love for debutants. With his year kick-started with his cop drama, Street Lights , an above average thriller, i could say he is off to a pretty great start.

Parole is a mediocre debut from Sharrath, with the same prison drama pattern repeated all over. With scenes that lag all the way through, save for some great scenes towards the end of the first half, Parole doesn't work at all in the way the director wishes to.

Mammooka's peformance towers over any other positives of the flick and in a way, saved it. All the other performances were above par, but still isn't the type of script that demands strong performances, except the lead.

The true story tagline should have been used to its advantage, although it never feels like one.

A strict one time watch.
