12th Man

A decent investigative thriller from the Jeethu Joseph stable replete with twists and turns. Mohanlal and the rest of the cast did full justice to their roles. I thought Anusree was especially good in her role. It does get a bit confusing here and there with the multitude of twists and careful concentration is needed to join all the pieces together. It was not easy to digest like Drishyam which is the only negative I have to say about the movie. Definitely recommended.

Its a classic whodunnit movie with right amount of twist and turns. Movie is well made and most of the cast have done good with their performances though some standout as too comical to me. If you like a classic mystery whodunnit gener movies you will not be disappointed by this. Some of the twists are predictable but overall the movie is entertaining. It has some inspiration from Perfect Strangers movie .

12th Man starring Mohanlal in lead role released on Disney+ Hotstar..

Directed by Jeetu Joseph, Penned by Krishnakumar. Bankrolled by Aashirwad Cinemas....

Verdict of the Movie: A Watchable movie...

After Drishyam, Drishyam 2 , Mohanlal- Jeetu Joseph combo 🔥🔥... Expectations at the top...12th man from the thrilling point of view had kept upto the level of expectations....

Plot of the Movie: A Group of 11 friends comes to a resort of Idukki to celebrate their bachmate bachelor party..But on that ill-fated night a murder happens of their mate which overall changes the ambience & Mohnalal who was initially portaryed as a nuisance to the guests but later realises he is the police officer and then how he investigates the case forms the rest part of the story....

Positivity of the Movie:

1) A suspenseful moment was able to create from the time of the crime till his final blow whistle....

2) Unpredictable person as the culprit was an another highlight...

3) Mohanlal initially portraying as a drunken person irritating the fellow guests and some of its comic sequences was quite entertaining...

4) Screenplay design was well executed as earlier mentioned, moment of suspense was experienced till the end...

5) Except the title song, not incorporating any other songs was one of the positive factors..

6) Rest artists had done quite well..

Negativity of the Movie..

1) We all know every person has 2 faces,one he/ she shows to society and one which is kept towards them only & that when is exposed through a game there will be many crimes happening in society, but my query who does like that 😅😅😅...No one & here that illogicals had happened...

So 12th man from a thrilling point of view can be watchable but if we see the insight of the story its like a " coconut without a shell"

A good come back for Ettan (Mohanlal) after the disappointment created by Aaraattu.

The surprising twists and they are presented shows the directing brilliance of Jeethu Joseph.

It's just another Drishyam level movie.

It also has the potential to counter Ikka's (Mammootty) latest, Puzhu.

It's a good movie. The first 45 mins of movie was not upto the mark. We do feel bored at the beginning. Mohanlal intro scenes were bad. But after 45 mins, when the movie enters it's actual plot, it's awesome. After 45 mins, movie is excellent. Some transitions shown in the second half of the movie was really awesome.
