Detective Ujjwalan

Detective Ujjwalan is a film that I want more of, despite its rushed final act. For it's the world building and smooth storytelling that kept me on tenterhooks the whole time. A mysterious killer is out on the loose in a Kerala village and it's up to the village's incapable police and smart loafer Ujjwalan to find out who it could be. There's also additional support from a special police team, and together they try to unravel the mystery as the bodies keep falling. The makers have done a commendable job at building a fictional village, along with lores that are very well planned for future feature films. An overall fulfilling experience just short the final smack. I would watch out for these guys.

Detective Ujjwalan is a painful exercise in missed potential. The film lacks a proper script, meaningful dialogues, and any emotional depth. What remains is a string of lifeless scenes stitched together without rhythm or any real flow. The editing is abrupt, the background score is uninspired, and the visual storytelling is severely limited.

The idea of setting the story in a village is nice. But the film offers little more than close-up shots and dull faces, failing to create any charm or appeal. It tries to pass off as an old-school adventure, but it ends up being a below-par, boring piece of pointless fluff. And unlike what some say, this is not quirky like Scooby Doo. It's boring as hell.

Dhyan Sreenivasan, in the lead, gives a performance so dull it feels unfair to the audience and the story alike. He brings no spark to Ujjwalan, a protagonist who is neither heroic nor remotely interesting. Siju Wilson starts off well as a police officer, but his sudden devotion to Ujjwalan makes no sense.

There's nothing that holds the viewer. No emotions to connect with, no solid plot to follow, and no reason to care. The storytelling is stale, and the whole thing feels empty. Maybe Vineeth Sreenivasan could have played Ujjwalan better. Someone with the hidden humour and flair, like his Adv. Mukundan Unni? Just a thought.

Ultimately, it is a dull, boring affair. It's supposed to be a mystery, but you're too bored to want answers. That should say it all.

Comedy at its peak like gosh dhyan sreenivasan absolutely killed it in this movie and was great to see such a fresh take of comedy similar to ninnal Murali but with detective elements a bit of a scooby doo movie definetly worthwile.

So I would have to reccomend this movie to yall strongly as me and my brother mother sister father grandfather and grandmother enjoyed it absolutely peak cinema from second half the movie takes a huge turn and ur left clueless by what u witnessed in the last 15 mins so again I strongly recommend this movie to all that want to see a great family entertainer and enjoy memorable comedy mommemts.

Rating - 4/5
