Monster

Pathetic movie. Whole story,twist,plot everything is conveyed through verbal Diarrhoea by mohanlal and poorly tried to convey a message. Horrible directions never expected from a director like vyshak ,a good tread spoiled by director and try to make it mass unnecessarily that's why the film utterly failed in box office.

Still not understanding why they brought so many people with good star value in unimportant characters. For eg Jagapathi babu,Ganesh, Siddique,lena The movie is shot too unrealistic way too. A movie not worth watching a total waste of time though this is a short movie which will be over in 2 hours.

The only suspense is in the title. Although there's a doubt, who killed whom and why and such things, but when the screenplay gets entangled, it's more of a confusion than a suspense. It feels as if the Director tried to put himself in the audience seat and clarify the doubts one by one. In such an attempt the effort made the story movement loose.

The lead roles other than honey rose contribution to the story on screen seemed limited. Narration, in my opinion should be last attempt to untangle the knot of the plot. Whilst Megastar of molly wood doing this is just a couple of cups popcorn munching episode. With just a social message tagline, I'll not again take the attempt of watching a meaningless star hero movie. And nonetheless, the third important role of the script, Manchi Lakshmi,.. Better not touch it. Just to gain tollywood market share, a comic character in herself, made a comedy out of the role itself.

The film revolves around the visit of a Punjabi-Malayali entrepreneur named Lucky Singh, who is ferried around Kochi by cab driver Bhamini. His intrusive ways also mean he becomes an unwelcome guest at her first wedding anniversary. But after Lucky departs, Bhamini is caught up in a mess she has no explanation for. Is Lucky who he claimed he was and what were his true intentions ? - the answers of these form the plot of this Udaykrishna directorial, which has his usual staple of 'mass' moments, a convoy of cars and the male gaze.

For Mohanlal, the role is a cakewalk. As Lucky Singh, he is jovial and loud, and sometimes irritable too. But that's what the writer seems to have gone for. He also gets his share of moments that play to the gallery. The rest of the cast, however, fails to raise the energy. You could feel this by how the movie's pace slackens when the actor is not there. Honey Rose is probably the only other actor to stand out here, partly getting the audience to empathise with her situation in the first half.

In a scene in director Vysakh's Monster, two cops tell their superior that they have done all that they have been asked to but are still confused about what's going on. This happens after they have apprehended a suspect of a murder case and also have gone great lengths to verify the suspect's claims by bringing a man who was in another State. At times, while watching the Mohanlal-starrer, it won't be too far-fetched to say that the cops' thoughts also reflect what the audience is feeling. This greatly has to do with how the script of the film has been structured - mainly to hold off the middling suspense.

Mohanlal's Monster is a mishmash of several genres and only works when the makers focus on the crime thriller aspect. Apart from a few scenes, which the makers are pushing as new territory for mainstream superstar-driven movie, the film leaves much to be desired.

Its among the long list of pathetic movies that Mohanlal has been doing in the recent path. As a fan of movies I end up feeling for him, for the mockery that he is doing in the name of comedy. Its a shame that an actor with such a legacy has to stoop to this shameful level. Blessed be those who haven't seen this. The movie is a complete fail in all its aspects and as a viewer you end up disappointed trying to find a silver line, to make your penny worth. Monster is a child born to Arattu in Loham, inheriting all the negatives of both. This was least expected from Vyshakh as well. Overall a forgettable experience.

Not that bad as others say in my opinion. Not the best movie or not even close to being very good. First half of the movie was so unbearable for me with the forced double meaning humour and i felt like even Lalettan was over acting in the first half. Second half though i felt little better. Action scenes were pretty good , acting improved and the way they wanted the movie go was different at parts. Still some dailogues were cringe, and some of the things were forced. Overall if you can look past the first half the second half isnt terrible. Bgm was good , but again some tropes are so much overused and tiresome. Again not that bad as some of them say especially the second half.
