Turbo

The film Turbo is a cinematic work belonging to the action thriller drama genres, and was directed by Vyshak.

The film's narrative focuses on a character named Jose, who is referred to by his community members as Turbo Jose. The rationale behind this is his formidable batting prowess. It is evident that he is responsible for the creation of a hitting element in every annual church festival. It was imperative that he abduct a young woman from her residence without notifying her boyfriend, Jerry. However, the plan proved to be unsuccessful. It was necessary for Jose to relocate to Chennai in order to evade apprehension by the police. In the city of Chennai, Jerry and his girlfriend are employed in different banking institutions. Following the securing of employment, Jose took the decision to reside in Chennai for a limited period. In the latter half of the narrative, Jerry becomes aware of a substantial fraud perpetrated within the financial institution. Consequently, he is murdered. The fraudulent scheme involved the transfer of substantial sums of money from inactive and dormant accounts to various other accounts, from which the funds were subsequently withdrawn. The individual responsible for this criminal act was identified as Vetrivel Shanmuga Sundaram. He possesses the ability to exert influence over the political and bureaucratic entities within the state. In the aftermath of Jerry's demise, his female companion found herself subject to a series of menacing endeavours. Jose intervenes in order to ensure her safety. The police control and Vetrivel's gangs are in opposition to their cause. Nevertheless, José succeeded in rescuing her and his family.

The narrative was of mediocre quality. The direction was excellent. The performances are of a commendable standard. The film contains a multitude of clichéd scenes, which are indicative of its fundamental weakness. Certain scenes are not as effective. Notwithstanding, it is a valuable for individuals who wish to watch once.

~ ' Turbo ' directed by Vysakh and written by Midhun Manuel Thomas starring the legendary Mammootty , Raj B Shetty , Anjana Jayaprakash and Bindu Panicker is a mass entertainer powered by the brillaint action choreography, Christo Xavier's background score and the man himself Mammukka. As an Mammukka fan myself I enjoyed the film a lot. Lots of whistle worthy moments , humour that worked and an amazing theatre experience. The action sequences were superb with the scores by Christo and Mammukka doing action at age 72 at this level was a joy to watch. Mammukka absolutely stole the show , while I felt Raj B Shetty's character could have been written better , he still does the job. An character I loved other than Turbo Jose was Sunil as Auto Billa and Bindu Panicker as Rosamma , they were simply brillaint and had lot's of comedic gags that were hilarious. Anjana Jayaprakash and Shabareesh Varma done well but an underrated performance would be of Kabir Duhan Singh as Vincent who had an commanding screen presence. The film overall matched my expectations and was a joyful event but I have to say the film's story is a cliché one and it could easily be an average experience for some. The essence of this film lies in it's making and nothing else, also the climax portion was great. If watched in a packed theatre it could improve the film viewing experience.

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.

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!!

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...
