      "Super-Natural"

      It is a 'Super' film with the amazing acting from Fahad Fasil, Aparna, Soubhin, Alancier, Jaffer Idukki and Antony Kochi.

      It is also a 'Natural' film with the amazing nature of 'Idukki'.

      *After watching this film, I decided to go to meet my relatives in Idukki when I get to Kerala. Especially, the slang and language in Idukki is beautifully used in this film.

      And the song 'Idukki' with lines, Ividuthe Kaattanu kaattu.... is very nostalgic. No words to express my feelings about this film. I'll surely suggest this film to anyone who love Malayalam Cinema.

      Simply, "Beautiful".

      A perfect movie experience

      "Maheshinte Prathikaaram", what else could fit for a revenge drama other than this title? Maheshinte Prathikaaram is a portrait of Mahesh and everything related to Mahesh. A place playing a prominent role in a movie is something rare. And only few directors tried to do so, like Rajiv Ravi did in "Annayum Rasoolum" and " Njan Steve Lopez". Here, director Dhileesh Pothan also presented "Idukki" as a main Character.

      The primary aim of Maheshinte Prathikaaram is to make people laugh. Comedy is the main ingredient here. But, sometimes it is romantic. Sometimes very thrilling. The makers didn't used anything artificial to make us laugh, all the comedies were very realistic and situational. I felt a freshness in the presentation of this film. All the technical departments raced in the same pace. Shyju Khalid's photography, Bijibal's music and Saiju Sreedharan's editing, all these acted with mutual understanding and mutual respect. 100 marks for these departments.

      I have no more words to praise the performance of the cast. Fahadh Faasil played the lead character Mahesh with such an ease. No doubt he's the best actor among the youngsters in the industry. He's an actor with tremendous potential. The Soubin - Alancier combo just made the theater hall crazy. Anusree also did a great job. All the actors in this film just rocked.

      Maheshinte Prathikaaram is the best Malayalam movie released this year so far.

      Watch it with zero expectations.

      From 2014's end to 2016's beginning can be considered as a dark period for Fahad Fassil. Money Ratnam, Mariyam Mukku, Haram, Ayal Njanalla, Monsoon Mangoes were back to back flops. So when my friend invited me to this movie, I didn't really wanted to go. But I went anyway. And I stood up and clapped as the credits rolled. It was the first day. The theater was half empty. Maheshinte Prathikaram ended up being one of the greatest hits ever in Malayalam Cinema.

      Maheshinte Prathikaaram: A Different Take on life

      Maheshinte Prathikaaram.. A different sort of a film when you compare it to the movies Fahad Faasil has done. The studio photographer Mahesh is a simple person without any high ambitions in life. His dad.. The most silent person you would see in that film.. But conveying his message through his silence beautifully. Mahesh likes a girl called Sowmya who is his childhood friend and the same applies to her. Unexpected turn of events leads to Mahesh engaging in a fight with a thug called Jimson who ends up beating Mahesh in front of the crowd. Mahesh gets all embarrassed in front of everyone. The following events that occur in Mahesh's life have been put together really well and is presented to you by Dileesh Pothan in a very good manner. Soubin's timely appearance along with the evergreen music of Bijibal make the film an absolute treat to watch. Special credits to Fahad Faasil for bringing out Mahesh so well. Overall rating:9/10

      • Trivia
        Jimsy appears in the film in various scenes even before she's introduced briefly as a main character.
      • Goofs
        The lip sync of the girl standing at the bottom right in the group song rehearsal sequence, went wrong. Actually she's not singing but uttering something.

        Crispin: Did you asked Soniya about this? Please don't. She'll spit on your face.

        Crispin: I know, I'm not perfect. But Soniya, she's a gem. I quit.
