    Everything good except overly superhuman actions

    I don't understand why this director is always make this kinda action scenes .. it's very awful .. come on .. the time is over .. make some realistic actions .. let this Malayalam industry grow in standard!!

    An okayish suspense thriller ride!

    An okay suspense thriller + mass heroism scenes but not a class one. Mammootty's screen presence was good to watch and fights stunts were great. Not a great storyline and screenplay,last 30 mins was very engaging.

    A turbulent failure ; works only as a mass entertainer

    Masterpiece was and is one of the most waited films of this year. Its lead cast comprising of Mammootty, Unni Mukundan, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar and Poonam Bajwa, a newcomer. The film also houses many young stars who are stuggling to find a place in Malayalam cinema, so kudos to the casting director for such a impressive array of young talents.

    The film was touted as a mass, action thriller early on itself. After Rajadhiraja, a miserable failure from Ajai Vasudev, comes Masterpiece. It puts itself against a background of a college, where students are split into several factions. A subsequent crime and its events follow up the film's plot. The acting was commendable by the lead cast, although the quirky handling of the camera made it look kind of ugly. The direction is in all praise for a mass film, which Ajai handled perfectly.

    If not titled and promoted as a mass entertainer, Masterpiece would have been a stunning failure. Aside from Mammootty's impressive performance, coupled with some really good fight scenes, Masterpiece falls flat at every department. Unni Mukundan, was not a surprise casting since he is known for his excellence in action roles and scenes.

    The entire film hangs on the climax, which may come surprising for many.

    Rating - 3.75 / 10.0

    One of the worst movies.

    An average viewer can simply guess the climax. There is no logic in the storyline. The guest role of captain raju was a complete disaster. Totally, a bad movie.

    I don't think even Ikka fans could suffer this movie for more than 2 scenes with him.

    Pure waste of time. Pointless other than for one finally suspense. There were a few reasons that persuaded me to watch the movie. One director Ajai Vasudev his last movie Rajadhiraja with Mammootty that came out last year was a perfect entertainer with decent story line, so when the duo came together again I expected lot of entertainment but did I get it, NO. Second Gokul Suresh, Sureshettan's son I wanted see his acting and I knew he was in the movie, to be honest he in not bad but I wasn't impressed and I am a huge fan of Suresh Gopi. 3rd the action scenes I saw the trailer, after watching the movie that is one of the reasons I would tell people not to watch the movie. The action are ten minutes long and take forever to finish, because it is completely in slow motion. It was fun to see Ikka on screen again and I loved his style and look but after a while even he couldn't make me entertained. This could have been amazing if the some of the scenes were removed and trimmed down making it more racy thriller. But in the condition that it is in right now I would recommend watching Aadu 2
