In Loham what we could see is Ranjiths's(writer and director) intention to come back to genre of action thrillers after the much acclaimed "Ravanaprabhu" and "Devasuram".Though he tried to portray an incident which has some social significance, the ideas that he meant to convey felt scattered.The movie attempts to hold its scattered ideas with a blend of typical Mohanlal clichéd dialogues and facial expressions.(though I like them personally:D)But somehow the commercial and serious aspects of the movie are not clubbed very well, so that sometimes we lose the connection.The director desperately tries to bring in many major twists during the course of the movie but it too felt a bit overused and drab.Viewed critically, the movie attempts to scrutinize the corrupt individuals(both political and administrative) who are actually the wrongdoers,destroying the society. Ranjith tries to display the old and energetic Mohanlal in this movie,but it felt a bit old fashioned. Despite the inappropriate scenes,Loham is an OK movie, if you are a lover of Mohanlal's dramatic action thrillers.
