Salala Mobiles

Even at first look, the whole setup looks kinds jumpy as Dulquer Salman tries to act his role of a lazy son with lots of hard work. The first 20 minutes are enough to turn you off, but then something tells you to go on. So you go on.

Then, characters pop in, so does the humor. The story goes nowhere; of a Mobile shop owner who falls for a chic girl who comes to his shop to recharge her phone balance. The next 1 hour is full of mindless humor (laughable, though). But then, the plot samples a cyber short-cut where the characters get involved in a cyber-crime just for the heck of it. Siddique was wasted. Mamu Koya looks old.

Lots of useless sequences may bore you, but for Nazriya Nazim, you can hold on a bit. The last 20 minutes are hopeless and the climax felt like the writers had run short of words, so they ended it with a rather cheesy ending.

The whole drama concludes to nothing. The plot tries to prove many a things & also manages to convey a message or two but this is not how cinemas are made, the debut makers should know. No good music, unnecessary cartoonish sound effects & one hopelessly over-smart Tamil speaking character who can code brilliant apps but cannot speak English properly.

BOTTOM LINE: Strictly watchable on terms of humor, and sympathy to the actors.
