18am Padi Malayalam movie.

Marketing is an art by itself, that attracts the audience to the auditorium. The name, the posters depicting Superstars..all are according to this plan. 18am Padi - the name made you think.. This is a religious historical movie, This movie is in tune with the recent political scenes in Kerala, This is multistar Superstars studded movie .. You are wrong in all 3 counts. The story happening in Trivandrum around 1990s. Rivalry between two schools and the events inside and outside the school is the oneline thread of the presentation. Non linear editing is well done to keep our curiosity. Camera work is excellent. Music and back ground score is commendable. The battalion of cast members, most of them having NO or monologues to do on screen managed well by the script. The Superstars like Mammootty, Prithviraj, Unni Mukundan, Arya are all cameos for the project.. marketing strategy. The school boys and girls are new to the screen, but carried their roles very well.... the Malayalam movie is getting the future heros and heroines. The debutant director, even though not new to the industry, did his job well, but should have contrailed the unnecessary length of the presentation. 7 on 10 for the newcomer's movie.

Unbelievable storyline, raw action scenes in school level, unacceptable social interactions make the movie a fantasy. By the time every character is introduced, it's time for interval.

Not a Superstar movie, 'mass' dialogues and scenes belong to the new gen. Worth a watch.

I don't understand the logic behind the movie . One of the worst I've seen in decades.. stupid storyline and acting..I feel sad for the producer.. no wonder why this movie flopped

You can call it beginners luck, or pure talent but this doesn't feel like a first venture at all. The team has done a splendid job. The array of actors is obviously the highlight. Everybody gets an equal share of stardom in this movie. I cannot point to a hero, nor is it necessary. The slomo fight sequence is a let down. It was completely unnecessary. Rest everything was done perfectly. The direction and screenplay is a plus. The shots is beautiful. The location even more. Overall its pleasing to watch. The cast is a blend of newcomers and pioneers and it works perfectly fine. The story is good too. There is lot going on, but still the screenplay has made it easier to follow. Job well done. Overall an above average movie.

The movie is 'OK' for one time watch. Even though the movie showcase a school life, I couldn't relate anything to the school memories I had and so felt it like a school in some imaginary world which hinders the movie experience. In other words, the things the movie shows doesn't qualify for a school life in my opinion. The direction, camera, music was good and the actors too did a good job. One time watch.
