Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea

Dialogue deliverance not up to the average

Not even a single dialogue to be remembered back

Vfx seems to extremely improved in accordance with Malayalam film industry

Average film 🎞 rather than a big budget promotion film.

The grand scale of production values such as Art, VFX, series of mega actors, costumes,Songs, Cinematography all would make one think here is Malayalam movie's KGF and Bahubali. First half is crisp and engaging. Pranav Mohanlal portion was very well done. Apart from some miscasting and every one using their own slangs , first half was very impressive.

Second half started of with long cliche melodrama that will put shame to the word cliche. From that point script and director did not know what to do and how to take it to a climax.

Any how, watch it for the first half, for the grandness never seen in malayalam movies before.

As usual director tries to copy other language movie scenes 1)Pirates n bahubali stunt 2) Troy's emotional scene 3) suryas rajubhai suspense Casting- Ammas main members where added and their casting was not apt, which bring comedy in serious situation especially mukesh.

If the movie was directed by rajamouli atleast the copied( which I mentioned above) area could have been better.

When the war starts camera starts shaking...

Overall for malayalam movie it was a great effort which is not good movie comparing to other language movies.

One time watchable 6.5/10.

Marakkar is a decent attempt and a one time watch (sans the hype). The cinematography, costumes, sets etc. Are quite well done. However, the core of the movie is amiss. The story and characters are all over the place and none of the arcs are well developed. It's just poor direction from Priyadarshan, throwing so many characters into the mix for no good reason whatsoever. All the plot lines are so short and meaningless, that nothing sticks. I watched it on the first day and took my family along as well, and it was truly an excruciating watch for my parents since it's 3 hours of boredom with no story. Mohanlal still has so much to offer and I really hope good directors take advantage of his acting prowess and producers spend big money on promising projects, unlike this one.

Don't expect much from this filim, watch it like a epic movie a real life story without adding any extra items they ve presented well,if u want a movie like kgf or Bahubali don't go for this one u will be disappointed acting of pranv Mohanlal is superb 🔥
