Monster

Very poor screenplay, editing and direction ! The story had some elements that could have made it an interesting watch - but alas the movie was more concentrating on style over substance and real or heroism.

Apart from the story aspect, technically also the movie was pretty shabby, score being too loud and editing done in such a way to seem as "cool", but really just confuses and looks pretty cheap.

Heck the ending and back story could have elaborated, and give characters more 3 D and realness - but the hurried edit and direction spoilt it completely.

Final word - Not worth a watch - even the actors were not really performing with much conviction.

Pathetic movie. Whole story,twist,plot everything is conveyed through verbal Diarrhoea by mohanlal and poorly tried to convey a message. Horrible directions never expected from a director like vyshak ,a good tread spoiled by director and try to make it mass unnecessarily that's why the film utterly failed in box office.

Still not understanding why they brought so many people with good star value in unimportant characters. For eg Jagapathi babu,Ganesh, Siddique,lena The movie is shot too unrealistic way too. A movie not worth watching a total waste of time though this is a short movie which will be over in 2 hours.

It was interesting until the interval. Sexual content and gore scenes are in the movie and its U/A certified, I wonder how. It was embarrassing to watch this movie with my family. Biased rating.

Poor screenplay and acting even though the casting includes renowned actors.orstest among worsts.. Mohanlal's value is going down by acting in these kind of cheap movies. Poor jokes and worst acting by Acting king. Script writer made mohanlal as a worst comedian in this. Please don't expect this 60+ legend to act in such funny roles as such Nadodikkaat, Sanmanassullavarkk samadhanam , Vellanagalude Nadu etc.

Malyalam film Review: Monster streaming on Disney+ Hotstar

Story: A couple Bhamini & Chandra who run a Taxi service franchise and are in a spot of bother financially, are celebrating their first wedding anniversary with their daughter ,when a customer- the whimsical & quirky Lucky Singh enters their lives to change it forever. At first he seems to be whimsical, however there seem to be more sinister happenings going on in the background which are revealed in due course.

Mohanlal as Lucky Singh has done a lot of hamming in the first 1 hr of the film. A Punjabi speaking malyalam, adbhut 😁... It gets on ur nerves after some time . However if you can bear the tirade for 60 mins, that's when things heat up and the real film starts. The twist just before the interval is awesome and literally hits you hard. 2nd half is fast paced and the climax too is different.

The first half is a bit streched and could have been cut down drastically. Especially Mohanlal's scenes as Lucky Singh can irritate you after a while.

I am a big fan of Mohanlal, yet felt a bit let down by this film. Not his greatest work. Watch it for the 2nd half where most of the action happens. Not bad.. but cud have been better!!

Going with 2.5/5 for this .. adios 🙂!!

Not that bad as others say in my opinion. Not the best movie or not even close to being very good. First half of the movie was so unbearable for me with the forced double meaning humour and i felt like even Lalettan was over acting in the first half. Second half though i felt little better. Action scenes were pretty good , acting improved and the way they wanted the movie go was different at parts. Still some dailogues were cringe, and some of the things were forced. Overall if you can look past the first half the second half isnt terrible. Bgm was good , but again some tropes are so much overused and tiresome. Again not that bad as some of them say especially the second half.
