Turbo

Don't ever doubt on proven pathbreaking blockbuster creator of Malayalam cinema ; Vysakh is truly strongly back with a Banger !

He just need a super engaging thrilling script, and Midhun Manue lThomas delivered it with Perfection!!!!

And it needed excellent choreographed action blocks to entertain us #turbo got plenty of superb Fight scenes!!!!

& strong villain Raj B Shetty joined the party and It must have a charismatic super star to Lead it,,

Here comes Our Mammootty ; Mammookka Rocked it with ultra cool massy Avatar !!

Then the result is Mega star level Blockbuster Entertainment !!!!!!

A masala film more associated with Tamil/Telugu movies, where logic left town in a hurry. The story and treatment is at least 15 years old, so the plot gets pretty much predictable. Fights are outlandish, seen in hundreds of movies, despite the villains getting beaten with a fire extinguisher, rifle butt, chain links or other weapons they keep bouncing back. Really !!!

Mammotty needs to pick more realistic storyline, as these type of movies don't do justice to the caliber of actor he is.

Coming to the villain. A scrawny bald guy with an anorexic personality, no matter how menacing he was made out to be, isn't very convincing.

Vysakh is quickly using up all the goodwill he had built with movies like Pulimurgan. He is turning out to be just another director out to make a quick buck at the expense of the viewer. If you expect to see something new in this movie, you will not find it here.

Surely another hit for Mammootty in 2024. It's unbelievable that someone at the age of 72 can perform such fight sequences throughout the movie without making any scene boring. Hats off to you, Mammookka. From start to end, the movie is completely dedicated to action. Sometimes, I felt like the action was unnecessarily placed just to maintain the movie's pace. The story is just a cliché, but director Vyshak gives it another dimension. As usual, cliché scenes and twists are part of the movie, which is a bit of a turn-off. The cinematographer, Vishnu Sharma, plays a vital role in making this such an impactful action film with his skills, especially the chase scene in the second half. Cristo Xavier's BGM throughout the movie provides a fresh take on action background scores. Bindu Panikkar's role is the origin of many comedy sequences, but throughout the movie, it was predictable, so there was no thrilling experience. Also, I felt like actor Raj B. Shetty was not used to his actual potential. If you are a mass masala movie lover, hey lads, this movie is for you.

Turbo needed to be a full-on campy action comedy rather than attempting to be sporadically serious. It's almost like Vyshakh knows the script lacks the emotional hooks, so it's up to his directional choices to jump in and save the day, alongside a fun, 90s-throwback protagonist played by Mammooka. Vyshakh definitely delivers when it comes to the action, and there are at least a couple of exciting set pieces (including a superbly staged car chase) that'll keep you engaged, if not invested in the leads' fates. Anjana Jayaprakash, who plays the leading lady, is also good.

Bindu Panicker is in fantastic form, getting the best one-liners (and pop-culture references) in the film. Raj B Shetty is simply exploring new avenues, and while his antagonist is pretty one-note, he's still a few notches above your run-of-the-mill psycho. Midhun Manuel Thomas' writing doesn't offer a lot of highs (or lows for that matter), but lucky for us, he's aiming for low hanging fruit. Christo Xavier's score worked for me in bits and pieces, and not as a whole. Turbo only intends to be a disposable entertainer, with hints of a sequel that doesn't really even need to happen.

Don't watch this movie if you're sick of clichés. The screenplay for the film is so conventional and immature. Some mass dialogues dedicated to making the scenes more powerful are turned into a line drawn in the water. Prominent performers attempt to deliver humorous lines, but without acting, they lose their impact. For certain scenes, certain performers are superfluous. If the goal of this film was to amuse viewers, then it succeeded. But why should the audience be amused by shady acting and irrelevant background music? This film's plot is incredibly implausible and unfit for a great star. The movie was utterly destroyed by its primary elements, such as the twists at the end. This film might do well at the box office. However, it is not worthy of pretending to be a fine one. Even debut directors can do better than this.
