Neerali

I am so sad and upset watching this movie being a Lalettan fan. The direction is senseless and story is nonsense. How can Lalettan accept such a stupid character where the movie was dragging all 2+ hours. Release of Movie's original DVD in 30 days past theatre release answer the question of how good the movie was.

The effeminate air of the lead actor aside, director Ajoy Varma's Malayalam-language directorial debut will be best known 20 years from now as a failed attempt not at making a film but at fooling its audience that it regards with the lowest of respect. Unlike the director or writer Saju Thomas, I paid attention to details in Neerali and I was put off in the first five minutes itself. For my non-pedantic friends, the turn-off will happen at Mohanlal's character's introductory monologue where he raves about his father's historical war escapades all while suppressing the flying powers of a housefly. That he later ends up in a carrier van with a half-dead man (Suraj Venjaramoodu), hanging by the end of a cliff, putting into actions experiments he saw on Instructables.com as a child, forms the rest of the 130-minute snoozefest. For a film that is marketed as a survival thriller, Neerali never becomes interesting, and often depends on its lead character's boring antics to grasp its audience's attention. With awful, repetitive background score that is supposed to make me bite my lips but instead makes me yawn, director Varma cooks up a film that is inconsequential, massively irritating (also thanks to Nadia Moidu and her ghastly performance), and ultimately an unnecessary addition in the database of Malayalam cinema. Neerali should not have left the editing room because it is so bad that I'm a 100% confident even the makers looked each other in the eye, shrugged, and waited with bated breath at the degree of failure their film would enjoy as the film reel/digital copy left the producers' office that Thursday night. TN.

A failed attempt! The film lacks the depth and intensity that movies of this genre demands. Mohanlal tried his best, but a shoddy story and an illogical script put all his efforts in vain. Most of the the characters were wrongly casted. The climax lacks the much essential punch and thrill of an exciting survival film. Also, the film lacks logic at many places which makes this movie unbearable - especially, the monkey sequences...which makes me 'admire' the imagination skill of our scriptwriters...ohh! bayankaram thane...Overall not disappointed! (I have seen Mohanlal-movies even worse than this..)

Totally disappointing that a great actor like Mohanlal could work in such a near disaster movie. This is a flop in all departments.

Nothing to comment.worst movie.depressing.Never expected this kind of movie from mohanlal .
