Dheeran

Rating 9.5/10

I watched the movie "Dheeran"* and really enjoyed it. It's a fun-filled film that made me laugh a lot something we've been missing in recent Malayalam movies. As a new director, Devadath Shaji did a great job. The story, character development, and presentation were excellent.

Being from a village in Idukki I could relate to many of the characters in the film. The performances by Ashokan, Sudheesh, Jagadheesh, and Manoj K Jayan were amazing they truly lived their roles. Even "Anuraga Singam Thajjjam Thakajam Actor Vineeth who played the comical villain, was entertaining and suited the film's mood.

As the lead, Rajesh Madhavan delivered his career-best performance. His body language, expressions, and even his dressing perfectly matched that of a real village bus driver. His emotional scenes were also well done.

Sidharth Bharathan and the actress also did their parts really well. And the charcter Dixon Kuttanpuzha was too good exactly I know a person same like him, superb character and acting. Overall, Devadath Shaji has made a brilliant debut, and I look forward to more comedy movies from him in the future.

However, I felt that the Tamil villain character could have been stronger , and the music could have done more to lift and elevate some scenes

Still, it's a must-watch movie that guarantees laughter, really enjoyed..I would give it a 9.5 out of 10.

2hrs fun packed movie... go enjoy , after long time I could watch movie which relieved my stress and made me laugh ..

Direction is superb , the BGM and songs are really good.

All actors played their role really well , comedy drama action and jokes - mixture of all blended in nice way..

The script showcases a story of ordinary man who tired to prove him self worthy. Inspired from true story that happened In a small village in Kerala in early 90s.

The movies first half takes time to explain each character and slowly buoys it own pace when it comes to second half.

Second half is more fun and engaging.

Honest opinion this will be the black horse of 2025.

This movie....for me is about the casting,perfect character distribution and evry character has shown the humour very naturaly,seems to be more realstic. Directorial things is well done and cinematography gives freshnes in every shot. Music was awesome and background score for every scene was keeps engaging. Content wise this movie is not fresh and according to the screenplay and dialogue gives freshnes. This movie shows the power of vintage actors and they are just rocking in this movie. And the writers perfectly managed some genzy things yeah the thing is not genzy but in this era its highly mean to the genzy kids.

Dheeran starts off on a confusing note. The film jumps into emotional scenes without properly introducing the main character, which leaves us feeling a bit disconnected. In the first 30 minutes itself, there are several different plot lines, making it feel like a puzzle we're forced to solve.

Each character seems to have their own story to tell, which is interesting but also adds to the confusion early on. However, the movie manages to connect all the dots by the end of the first half. Surprisingly, the second half begins with a fresh storyline, giving a new direction to the film.

Some of the situational comedy moments do land well and add a bit of fun to the mix. But at the same time, many of the emotional scenes feel flat - they try to touch the heart but don't quite succeed.

This is not your typical realistic Malayalam film. It blends fantasy with realism, which may not work for everyone. What really helps the movie stay engaging is the chemistry between senior actors like Ashokan, Jagadeesh, Manoj K. Jayan, and Sudheesh. Their scenes bring a sense of familiarity and charm.

The villain's character was meant to be dangerous and powerful, but the actor couldn't quite pull it off convincingly.

Overall, Dheeran is a fantasy-realism mix that doesn't always hit the mark. If you're bored and looking for something different, it might be worth a watch - but don't expect a typical emotional or realistic Malayalam movie experience.

A comedy that struggles to find its footing. The first half felt like loosely connected sketches; plot arcs are disjointed and the jokes felt too contrived to elicit attention, let alone interest. While the narrative tightens somewhat after the interval, the weak foundation means that it's hard to care much about the conclusion.

The film is carried entirely by its veteran supporting cast, whose seasoned timing in slapstick moments made them easily the more watchable element, though expected given their pedigree. Technically too, it's unremarkable - visuals are functional and the soundtrack is generic filler typical of the genre.

Ultimately, for a film rather ambitiously named "Dheeran", it's so meh. The core execution is too uneven and uninspired to resonate, and is already out of your system by the time the credits roll.
