Mohanlal, of late has lost his talent to detect good scripts. The film Aaarattu although set up on a generic Indian masala action flick, it lacks its serious tone midway with dialogues & references to the star's previous films.
The references keep on going to an extent that it turns irritating.
Mohanlal may have shed his sloth like acting and reclaimed his energy post "Marakkar" and " Big Brother", but the script is garbage.
For a man who penned "Cid Moosa" "Runway" "Twenty Twenty", this is rock bottom. Udayakrishna seems incapable of bringing in quality to his scripts post his break with Sibi K Thomas who also isn't doing well. Pulimurugan, Masterpiece, Aarattu.. Udayakrishna needs to reevaluate his thoughts and ego. Dialogues are pathetic. This film would've been much better as a silent film
With all the film references, jokes that doesn't hit anywhere and a lead full of energy with nowhereto go, this is Mohanlal's version of "Shylock"
This film is barely watchable thanks to Mohanlal and Siddique. The action sequences were well choreographed and Rahul x Fejo theme song is phenomenal. Rest- pathetic.
Rahul Raj's BGM felt good initially, but listening on loop made it unbearable
Even an average script would've made this a hit. Mohanlal was this glamourous/ energetic/ charming in almost a decade. Yet makers chose to push in low quality dialogues with jokes with sexual inenduation. Story makes no sense even in the most masala perspective.
Wish it was made with a better script. The stunts and music wasted.
