Alone

Mohanlal's film #Alone directed by Shajikailas is an experimental movie that can claim its uniqueness..The script written by Rajesh Jayaraman based on the time of covid, with the magnificent performance of the great actor Mohanlal and the direction of the hit maker director Shajikailas, even the audience who came to the theater without any expectations were applauded.

#Alone is truly a daring experiment..to keep the audience in the theater for more than two hours with one actor and location..only a great director and an actor who makes the audience sit in the theater can take that risk..Shajikailas and Mohanlal have succeeded 100% in that regard..

For this film, there was no grand promotions or online channels and the crew did not share it. All that was in front of the audience was a good trailer.

Overall, this is a Mohanlal film..those who have been waiting for Lal as an actor...those who measure his acting skills, #Elon will be a delicious meal.

And #Natural Acting, in some scenes the actor Mohanlal will teach us through this film as a sample shot..

As a big mohanlal fan, I request him not to act in movies like monster and alone which is shot inside a flat alone for running time more than one hour. This movie was worse than monster. Going from kitchen to living room to bed room of a flat and vice versa is lagging to the core. Don't give lockdown excuses. Lockdowns are over. Normal life has returned. Such experiments of shooting with a single actor on screen and only voices of other actors won't work in Indian film industry. This movie has little resemblance to shutter island, Athiran etc . Only positive is Mohanlals acting and dialogue delivery . This movie is not even OTT worth.

Alone is a lugubrious and soporific exercise in cinematic futility that fails to elicit any semblance of interest or empathy from the viewer.

The film is also bereft of any plot, suspense, logic, or coherence, as it meanders aimlessly from one scene to another, with no discernible purpose or direction. The film is an affront to the intelligence and sensibility of the audience, who are subjected to a barrage of clichés, contrivances, and absurdities that defy all reason and plausibility.

The film is an insult to the talent and charisma of Mohanlal, who is reduced to a caricature of himself, mouthing platitudes and truisms that are neither profound nor relevant.

😲😲 We are in awe of the greatness of this movie!!!!!

Honestly, Alone was one of those very unassuming plots as it introduced us to Kalidasan (Mohanlal), a casual and carefree man who loved life and people; yet, the mysteries contained in his apartment enticed us to follow the journey.

The movie was filled with a number of hints found in the apartment decor, dialogues, Kalidasan's behavior, the apartment building's name, and even in Kalidasan's own name.

It's so shocking that many people gave this movie bad publicity because Alone was an outstanding work of reflection. The film creatively told us a mind-blowing story through a one-man cast, gradually fed us with relevant details to keep the momentum going, engaged us with dynamic camera movements, and wowed us with Kalidasan's super genial modus operandi.

If this is not brilliance, don't know what else we can call it!

BRAVOOOOOO.

Director Shaji Kailas has made a good mystery/thriller movie that has only one character in "Alone". Mohanlal pulls off the one man-movie with ease and elegance. The movie has an average first half flowed by a good second half and climax. Go with low expectations and if you are a fan of the actor you may like it.

Performance wise we have Mohanlal on screen, and Manju Warrier, Prithviraj, Baiju, Siddique, and others as voice artists.

The dialogues could've been a little more sharper and that would've pulled the movie up a few notches. This is a welcome change for Lalettan in 2023. I am a fan of the actor and I felt the movie was overall a good watch.
