Monster

It was interesting until the interval. Sexual content and gore scenes are in the movie and its U/A certified, I wonder how. It was embarrassing to watch this movie with my family. Biased rating.

Poor screenplay and acting even though the casting includes renowned actors.orstest among worsts.. Mohanlal's value is going down by acting in these kind of cheap movies. Poor jokes and worst acting by Acting king. Script writer made mohanlal as a worst comedian in this. Please don't expect this 60+ legend to act in such funny roles as such Nadodikkaat, Sanmanassullavarkk samadhanam , Vellanagalude Nadu etc.

Malyalam film Review: Monster streaming on Disney+ Hotstar

Story: A couple Bhamini & Chandra who run a Taxi service franchise and are in a spot of bother financially, are celebrating their first wedding anniversary with their daughter ,when a customer- the whimsical & quirky Lucky Singh enters their lives to change it forever. At first he seems to be whimsical, however there seem to be more sinister happenings going on in the background which are revealed in due course.

Mohanlal as Lucky Singh has done a lot of hamming in the first 1 hr of the film. A Punjabi speaking malyalam, adbhut 😁... It gets on ur nerves after some time . However if you can bear the tirade for 60 mins, that's when things heat up and the real film starts. The twist just before the interval is awesome and literally hits you hard. 2nd half is fast paced and the climax too is different.

The first half is a bit streched and could have been cut down drastically. Especially Mohanlal's scenes as Lucky Singh can irritate you after a while.

I am a big fan of Mohanlal, yet felt a bit let down by this film. Not his greatest work. Watch it for the 2nd half where most of the action happens. Not bad.. but cud have been better!!

Going with 2.5/5 for this .. adios 🙂!!

Its among the long list of pathetic movies that Mohanlal has been doing in the recent path. As a fan of movies I end up feeling for him, for the mockery that he is doing in the name of comedy. Its a shame that an actor with such a legacy has to stoop to this shameful level. Blessed be those who haven't seen this. The movie is a complete fail in all its aspects and as a viewer you end up disappointed trying to find a silver line, to make your penny worth. Monster is a child born to Arattu in Loham, inheriting all the negatives of both. This was least expected from Vyshakh as well. Overall a forgettable experience.

The only suspense is in the title. Although there's a doubt, who killed whom and why and such things, but when the screenplay gets entangled, it's more of a confusion than a suspense. It feels as if the Director tried to put himself in the audience seat and clarify the doubts one by one. In such an attempt the effort made the story movement loose.

The lead roles other than honey rose contribution to the story on screen seemed limited. Narration, in my opinion should be last attempt to untangle the knot of the plot. Whilst Megastar of molly wood doing this is just a couple of cups popcorn munching episode. With just a social message tagline, I'll not again take the attempt of watching a meaningless star hero movie. And nonetheless, the third important role of the script, Manchi Lakshmi,.. Better not touch it. Just to gain tollywood market share, a comic character in herself, made a comedy out of the role itself.

Pathetic first half, felt like a soap opera. Everything changed all of a sudden in the 2nd half with some twist elements.

Lots of police casts who were like some jokers walking here and there for 'investigation' for no specific reason.

New kind of storyline, Honey Rose got a good role to showcase her acting skills.

At the end, some quality is lacking. Also the name Monster didn't suite that much to a movie like this. Still it's an one time watch. It's Okay to come late to this movie and we can purposefully skip the first half and save some time.

The movie is not a masterpiece but it's a good watch.
