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.

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.

Very poor screenplay, editing and direction ! The story had some elements that could have made it an interesting watch - but alas the movie was more concentrating on style over substance and real or heroism.

Apart from the story aspect, technically also the movie was pretty shabby, score being too loud and editing done in such a way to seem as "cool", but really just confuses and looks pretty cheap.

Heck the ending and back story could have elaborated, and give characters more 3 D and realness - but the hurried edit and direction spoilt it completely.

Final word - Not worth a watch - even the actors were not really performing with much conviction.

Pathetic movie. Whole story,twist,plot everything is conveyed through verbal Diarrhoea by mohanlal and poorly tried to convey a message. Horrible directions never expected from a director like vyshak ,a good tread spoiled by director and try to make it mass unnecessarily that's why the film utterly failed in box office.

Still not understanding why they brought so many people with good star value in unimportant characters. For eg Jagapathi babu,Ganesh, Siddique,lena The movie is shot too unrealistic way too. A movie not worth watching a total waste of time though this is a short movie which will be over in 2 hours.

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 🙂!!
