Turbo

Turbo needed to be a full-on campy action comedy rather than attempting to be sporadically serious. It's almost like Vyshakh knows the script lacks the emotional hooks, so it's up to his directional choices to jump in and save the day, alongside a fun, 90s-throwback protagonist played by Mammooka. Vyshakh definitely delivers when it comes to the action, and there are at least a couple of exciting set pieces (including a superbly staged car chase) that'll keep you engaged, if not invested in the leads' fates. Anjana Jayaprakash, who plays the leading lady, is also good.

Bindu Panicker is in fantastic form, getting the best one-liners (and pop-culture references) in the film. Raj B Shetty is simply exploring new avenues, and while his antagonist is pretty one-note, he's still a few notches above your run-of-the-mill psycho. Midhun Manuel Thomas' writing doesn't offer a lot of highs (or lows for that matter), but lucky for us, he's aiming for low hanging fruit. Christo Xavier's score worked for me in bits and pieces, and not as a whole. Turbo only intends to be a disposable entertainer, with hints of a sequel that doesn't really even need to happen.

Turbo is the first Malayalam action film of 2024, written by Mithun Manuel Thomas and produced by Mammootty Company, directed by Vysakh. Mammootty's sincerity and dedication to cinema at this age is certainly commendable. Raj B Shetty - (who played the villain role)- you are a cool actor. The role of hero's mother played by Bindu Panicker is also very good. Anjana's performance was above average, but I don't rate it as good performance. This movie will continue even if there is no such sister character. So I don't know why Amina Nijam is there. Whatever it's a miscast and sorry to say she is not good in acting.

Regarding the film it's nothing but a pure fan movie. The first half has some funny elements but there is a lot of lag. The second part of the movie is all about hero's action, fighting, car chase and mass performance. As seen in Tamil or Telugu cinema, the hero is portrayed as someone with extraordinary strength and courage. Many scenes are impossible for anyone in human form to do.

Just think the logic of the action master that the hero who knocks down ten - fifty goondas at the same time gets blown away by the first blow of the villain? Graphics and VFX are too much. The car chases in the road seems bit over. It's a new modern car and the airbag was missing when it hit with a truck. The ending of the film clearly gives an indication that there will be a second part for the movie.

It can be said that this is a movie that will be loved by everyone who loves Mammootty. And it's a good watch for those who love movies more than an actor...

Surely another hit for Mammootty in 2024. It's unbelievable that someone at the age of 72 can perform such fight sequences throughout the movie without making any scene boring. Hats off to you, Mammookka. From start to end, the movie is completely dedicated to action. Sometimes, I felt like the action was unnecessarily placed just to maintain the movie's pace. The story is just a cliché, but director Vyshak gives it another dimension. As usual, cliché scenes and twists are part of the movie, which is a bit of a turn-off. The cinematographer, Vishnu Sharma, plays a vital role in making this such an impactful action film with his skills, especially the chase scene in the second half. Cristo Xavier's BGM throughout the movie provides a fresh take on action background scores. Bindu Panikkar's role is the origin of many comedy sequences, but throughout the movie, it was predictable, so there was no thrilling experience. Also, I felt like actor Raj B. Shetty was not used to his actual potential. If you are a mass masala movie lover, hey lads, this movie is for you.

Don't ever doubt on proven pathbreaking blockbuster creator of Malayalam cinema ; Vysakh is truly strongly back with a Banger !
