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.

That's one way of describing Lucifer. Well, I'll just divide this into pros and cons. Pros: 1.Mohanlal - It's not a role with the scope for very high level acting. But he excels when it comes to dialogue delivery and simple stares and looks he gives. 2. Direction and Visuals : Prithviraj successfully created awesome visuals. Pretty good for a beginner. 3. Vivek Oberoi and Vineeth(dancer) - Vivek Oberoi has done great as the evil guy and the voice but Vineeth gives life to the character.

Cons: 1. Lag - The movie is slow paced. It would've been much better if it had more pace. 2. Item Song - That was totally unnecessary. 3. Some fight sequences - The sequence inside jail and the one in the sea. Those were unnecessary.

Watch it for a Mohanlal Show and Prithviraj's stylish making.

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 would have given a 9/10. Because the movie was excellent for almost 80% of it. There was class, mass and thrill. The movies like these are interesting to watch only when there is a strong villain on the other side. 'L' has it through out, except the last 20%. Felt the villain becomes a powerless puppet all of a sudden and not even a match for the giant 'L' making the climax just a mere formality. Also, the item song at the end was totally unnecessary; the 'hit group' action sequence at the climax seems more of like a video game. Overall, a mass movie worth for each penny you spent.

Lucifer is an extremely packed action drama movie.... Prithviraj Directional debut were excellent and the introduction of each are every characters were well organized....Mohanlal with lead roll were outstanding and his actions as well as his dialogue deliveries were so effective and Vivek oberoi as a negative character in lucifer were also outstanding..... Mohanlal and Prithviraj combo was excellently showcased...as i write in my reviews believe in Prithviraj movies... Lucifer is a watchable movie...this film worth your money...
