Lucifer

So Lucifer is here and it was one of the most anticipated films to come out this year. Talks of this film were out many years ago and finally it's out and the responses have been mind-blowing. I myself got to see it a few days ago and while I do think the movie is great, I do think the whole 'lucifer is a masterclass' talk is false. So let's start with the good stuff. The movie has 3 main things to it which is Prithviraj's direction, mohanlal's utilisation and mohanlal's screen presence and finally Murali gopy's writing. Prithviraj is great here. His direction doesn't look like a debut. The movie looks amazing shot in mesmerizing 1:2:8 aspect ratio give us some gorgeous wide angle shots, clean looking action scenes, great use of tracking shots, it's all here and it's all good. Prithviraj knows what the fans want to see from Mohanlal and that is exactly what is displayed here and Mohanlal pulls that off in grand fashion because that's what he does best. There are some great dialogues here, references to other Mohanlal films and a ton of nods to other films as well which are great. There are 27 characters in the film and while most of the characters have very little screen time because of such a large number, they utilise that well and give of great performances. Vivek Oberoi, Tovino Thomas and Manju Warrier are the best after Mohanlal to give of captivating performances. However, the plot by itself is rather similar to us. It's not something new, however the stories inside the plot are where it shines. The political aspects, and the in built stories of what all other characters go through are great but overall story not that great. So overall Lucifer is an enjoyable film and I'd recommend it to people not for the over arching story but for the beautiful look of the film, some really badass scenes and Mohanlal in all his grandeur.

Much anticipated movie of 2019. The movie gives you a real mass entertainer having some good content. The main positive part of the film is that it is directed by a fan boy. That's why he has used mohanlal in the way the fans wanted to see. The direction visuals making acting all makes you feel excellent. The real don esthappan is on an action 😘.

It's a good movie but I don't understand why it's so much overrated...may be it's a movie for mohanlal fans....for a normal person without any favouritism it's just a good entertaining movie just like many others.....

I have been watching movies born from scripts created by Murali Gopy (MG) since his first..Rasikan...Though couldn't appreciate Rasikan much, nevertheless, I appreciated his efforts made and now the tree has fully grown...rather blossomed into bearing fruit...that too a really sweet one! A BIG! Kudos to Murali Gopy for creating the script of Lucifer...a Malayalam movie which as envisaged delivers a visual treat after a long time ( with due respects to Pulimurugan and Odiyan)...Mohanlal at his best...the characters performing their best with a well chosen array of cast! the movie at a pace without drags or lags....credits to Prithviraj Sukumaran for his commendable work on his directorial debut...Kudos to Team Lucifer for entertaining !!!

+ve : Well directed. Keeps you engrossed. Intense. Mohanlal performance keeps you hooked. L in Lucifer perfectly used even in intervaL.

• ve : Mohanlal has only one expression throughout and always in slow motion. Would have loved to see him moving normal too. Over glorified fight scenes. Story hmmm ya it's a movie for Mohanlal fans.
