Turbo

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.

Turbo is the first Malayalam action film of 2024, written by Mithun Manuel Thomas and produced by Mammootty Company, directed by Vysakh. Mammootty's sincerity and dedication to cinema at this age is certainly commendable. Raj B Shetty - (who played the villain role)- you are a cool actor. The role of hero's mother played by Bindu Panicker is also very good. Anjana's performance was above average, but I don't rate it as good performance. This movie will continue even if there is no such sister character. So I don't know why Amina Nijam is there. Whatever it's a miscast and sorry to say she is not good in acting.

Regarding the film it's nothing but a pure fan movie. The first half has some funny elements but there is a lot of lag. The second part of the movie is all about hero's action, fighting, car chase and mass performance. As seen in Tamil or Telugu cinema, the hero is portrayed as someone with extraordinary strength and courage. Many scenes are impossible for anyone in human form to do.

Just think the logic of the action master that the hero who knocks down ten - fifty goondas at the same time gets blown away by the first blow of the villain? Graphics and VFX are too much. The car chases in the road seems bit over. It's a new modern car and the airbag was missing when it hit with a truck. The ending of the film clearly gives an indication that there will be a second part for the movie.

It can be said that this is a movie that will be loved by everyone who loves Mammootty. And it's a good watch for those who love movies more than an actor...

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 !!!!!!

Maybe I made a mistake in watching this movie after watching Thalavan. Even in the first 10-15 minutes, the template of the movie was reveled. The director and production team should realize that Mammootty despite being the stalwart hero he is, age does defy its terms. When you cast a heroin who is young enough to be his granddaughter, the chemistry just doesn't mathematically equate and the audience wouldn't digest it that easily. Even for that matter the fight scenes where the hero hits and the goons fly like frisbee... what is this? Are we still in the 90s? Mammootty doesn't have to be projected as a superhero anymore. It is like expecting Sachin to bat for two days on a New Zealand test pitch against current bunch of bowlers. Anjana's role resembled much like the one in Pachu. I m glad that they brought in someone like Shetty which is refreshing. And that is the reason why i give 4!!

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.
