Valiyaperunnal

Sorry to say, the film lacked story and script. First half was not necessary, second part has no thrill.

This was my most awaited movie of the Christmas season. I was hoping that it is not another Double Barrell.

Unfortunately, it is another Double Barrel meets Parava meets Angamaly Diaries. The film does not work at all. Imagine a heist movie where the heist itself isn't important but the story of a place and it's characters are. But the place and characters are nothing great. The dialogs are awful.

But I'm certain about one thing. Shane Nigam is a huge future legend. What a talent. He really lights up the screen when he's on. Does a great job in action scenes. Reminds me of a young Mohanlal.

The only reason I'm giving it an extra half star is because of Rex Vijayan's score. The storyline is a convoluted mess with too many inconsequential characters. A couple of new talents (in the cast) seem fine, but the rest either awkwardly ham it up or are terrible. The writing, for a movie where the location is a character of its own, lacks finesse. The dialogues are often ridiculously condescending. Mattanchery & Fort Kochi looked much better in Soubin Shahir's Parava, both from storyline and aesthetic standpoints. Even stupendous actors like Shane and Joju put up half-hearted efforts. Himika Bose looks pretty, but like 99% of the cast, plays an inconsequential character who shows up intermittently. What was Soubin, Alencier, Captain Raju, and Atul Kulkarni doing in this movie? At 2 hours and 55 minutes, Valiyaperunnal is a total borefest.

What was the movie trying to tell, i doubt even the makers had any clue what they were trying. The story is a jumbled mess,the dialouges are weak, acting by some are down right irritating, only better performance is by shane nigam who continues his usual type dialogue delivery and style( just like every other movie he does, the same kochi accent every movie!). I am sure he has a future. This film is not worth your time.

I dont understand Malayalam well. Still watch Mallu movies. I think the slang used in this movie is something different. I liked the action sequences. The songs are also little bit different. I felt so.
