Kannur Squad

I had high expectations for this film and safe to say this movie really did meet my standards. The plot was original and not cliche at all. The fight scenes were great and did not look fake at all. The movie was so interesting people were on the edge of the seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. Mammotty and his team acted so naturally and we could see all the betrayal, friendships and reconciliation throughout the film. The viewers were misguided so many times throughout the films, there were plot twists were you least expected them. I would have given the film 10 stars but I feel like there were some parts that were left incomplete they weren't major parts most viewers probably don't even notice but we did. I also would have given it to 10 stars if they had given Sushin Shyam more opportunities to show off this music and bgm. Don't get me wrong I loved the music but I feel like sushin could have made even better music if he had more opportunities. There were like 2 songs in the movie and I felt like we needed more music and more bgm. I know sushin can do more music if there was time, but I also felt that since it was a thriller and there needed to be a lot of talking sushin wasn't able to fit in bgms in the middle like in kurup and bheeshmaparvam. The beginning scene where the music came in was amazing it gave everyone goosebumps and everyone was praising sushin for it. Sushin did a great job with the music in conclusion. Overall this movie was amazing the whole team was amazing and I would recommend it to every mammokka fan I know. I really hope to see movies like this in the future, can't wait!!

Damn bruh nice..I'm not surprised that Ikka won't stop anytime soon

It's a combination of slow realistic rat and mouse chase like Rajiv Ravi's Kuttavum Shikshayum (2022) but again has the graph running at a high speed suspense and massy angle like Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru (2017).

Specifically it's a great directorial debut by Roby Varghese Raj; I really loved how there were some nicely taken realistic fight sequences. But I believe the car scenes could have been taken better.

Anyways, dialogues & the plot points did justice to the overall movie telling. But lot of stereotypical elements like UP village violence & all worked here; but little off ig..idk

Must say about the bgm, Sushin Shyam that guy can make any genre music.

One of the best movies of Mammootty in recent times. An investigation thriller. I went with zero expectations and i liked the movie very much. Mammooty is a ASI rank Police Officer and he and 3 other including Azeez, Shabareesh and one more include the Kannur Squad and they are investigating a murder case. In this movie, Mammootty is not mass "Athavanameda Police " (Mammootty's earlier movie dialogue) Line but realistic normal Police Officer heading the Kannur Squad. But second half had good mass elements. Sunny Wayne, Vijayaraghavan, Kishore, Manoj KU, one Tech helper (Dont know name) and all other did their job well. 4.5 out of 5 for this film.

A proper police procedural commercialized for the Malayalam audience in a way that it's still realistic enough in parts but also gives moments of mass celebration for the Mammootty fans. The character Mammooty plays is nothing like the glorified cop roles he has done in the past and is very down to earth but the film takes its moments to break that magic to showcase the superstar which the audience seems to love. Mammootty actually looks pretty great and does it pretty well in such action scenes that are designed to get the mass response in theatres. Being based on a true story, there must have been some liberties taken here. But if it showed the story to be a bit more gray it would've been great. The way the crime is depicted, the revisits to it, seems to be quite insensitive, just for the sake of making the villains look more evil.

Overall, it was an enjoyable experience but not as great as the fans claim it to be.

When Rorschach became a super hit, I was gladly surprised that such a style of film was working for the Malayali audience even though Mammootty was there as an incentive. But the amount of overpraise that film got and the way this is becoming such a big success, it feels like Mammootty just have to show up with something decent with enough moments for the fans to celebrate and they will make it a huge success.

"Mammootty's performance in 'Kannur Squad' was nothing short of superb. His portrayal of the character was captivating and added depth to the story. The storytelling was executed with finesse, keeping the audience engaged and glued to the screen throughout. The overall experience of the movie's production and execution is truly commendable. 'Kannur Squad' is a must-watch, with its stellar performances and exceptional storytelling leaving a lasting impact on viewers." The level of violence in 'Kannur Squad' is noticeably higher than what is typically seen in Mammootty's movies. It adds a gritty and intense dimension to the film, which may be appealing to some viewers while possibly unsettling to others. It's essential for potential viewers to be aware of this aspect of the movie before watching it.
