***Christopher Malayalam Movie Review***
Directed by Unnikrishnan B starring Mammootty in lead role.
Also starring Amala Paul, Aishwarya Lekshmi , Sneha , Dileesh Pothan, Shine Tom Chacko
Always the dice doesn't throw 12 , post watching i felt.
Positivity of the Movie....
1) Mammootty, Mammootty, Mammootty...Its just him. It will be difficult for a cinematographer to take the best shot as evey shot he comes, it just awesome. He delivered the best & that he will do when he has the worst script.
2) BGM was good
3) Unnikrishnan Sir film making was quite different. Some shots seems to remind me of your Shaji Kailas sir. Making wise he tried to cover up the age old topic & that efforts needs to be appreciated
4) Amala Paul gave a fair performance.
5) No songs, no unnecessary comedy made the watchable.
Negativity of the Movie
1) Rapes, violence against women is serious, grave topic but thats not an overnight story. Its happening since years then why in 2023 , this topic needs to be highlighted???
2) Predictability observed in many areas including the climax
3) Logical issues behind executing a murder.
4) Villian performance seems to remind me of his character in Etharkum Thunindhavan movie.
5) Aishwarya Lekshmi character was just an unnecessary addition just to drag the story further. No notable performance from her side.
6) Sarath Kumar, Sneha, Siddique and many more but there were just having an extended cameo appearance. An actor like Sarath Kumar why not out of disrespect but it has to be something strong in character when taking his date.
Overall if Aarattu was a celebration of the Mohanlal stardom, here the writer Uday Krishnan and B Unnikrishnan exploited the stardom of Mammootty but came to be an average.
