Oppam

Well for a non-malayalee guy like me watching a Malayalam movie was a different experience and I experienced it fully!!!

Oppam!!! man what a masterpiece ! I have always heard of Malayalam films being more realistic and I now I have believe that what I heard was true.

This film was totally realistic. I am more of a Hollywood guy. Bollywood I don't like that industry they are not making good movies (though some are good). And I also watch Tamil and Telugu Movies usually sometimes in Hindi Dubbed and sometimes in there original version (depends upon my excitement).

And some of them are creative and innovative and some are just a popcorn entertainment's. But this Malayalam movie was 100% realistic without much any waste of time and also without showing unrealistic superman type action they made the movie more grounded.

Acting wise- Superb Action wise- Well done Thriller wise- Exceptional work !

Seriously I have become a much of an appraiser of Malayalam Cinema after watching this phenomenal movie.

Last day i went to watch this movie after i heard a lot of hype rating the movie as exceptional. I have to say that it is a good movie but don't expect too much from it. The climax was somewhat predictable but the movie has its moments.

Special praise for the cinematography and the suspense in some scenes. I am actually pleased to tell that the fight scenes where actually very good. It took me back to the time when mohanlal was at the height of his career. My personal opinion is that the 3 songs in the first half of the movie was a bit of an overdo. But things get better during the second half.

Mohanlal has done some serious acting and all the other characters are beautifully casted. if not for some things i would have given it a 10 rating. I think that this movie can be considered a valuable addition to the long list of mohanlal movies and special congrats to the team behind it. Best of luck!!

Heard good things about the movie & so i went to check it out myself and i was not disappointed.

The film is written & directed by veteran director Priyadarshan and is a thriller where lead role is played by Mohanlal.The story revolves around murder of a retired judge, a blind man (Mohanlal) & its aftermath.

If you have seen the trailer & thought it was lame just wait after you see this movie, cause then you will understand that it was made so intentionally.The movie outright surprises with good camera work, Songs, sory progression ... the works, you name it & its there.

Its a strong comeback by the director after a couple of lemons. Mohanlal succeeds in making the audience feel the pain & struggle he is in & the director succeeds in making you stay at the edge of your seat.

A great movie & no doubt one of the best movies of the year !!!!

Oppam is an above average suspense thriller with a tight screen play, wonderful cinematography and the ever wonder Mohanlal aka our Lalettan. The film marks the return of one of the most successful pair in Malayalam film industry , Mohanlal and Priyadarshan. Though they are known for their comedy films through out , this time they return with a thriller movie. The duos previous attempt on horror thriller Geethanjali, was a big let down, but that is not the case with Oppam. The story is good, suspense holds attention and the flow is occasionally fast ( there are places where the film get stretched more than needed) . Songs are good and apt to the film , the visuals are stunning , especially in songs . Background score is a bit loud to the level of irritating , should have damped it a bit. Mohanlal proves he has not yet lost his touch , supporting cast also does the job well. Apart from suspense there is a bit of everything in the film , humor, action ( if you are a Lalettan fan, there is a moment where you will whistle out loud ) and emotion. All in all it is a complete Onam package.

Oppam is not the kind of movie that you expect from Priyadarshan Mohanlal team. The movie is a thriller which tells us the story of a visually impaired Jayaraman trying to save the life of a girl from a psychopath killer while trying to prove himself innocent for a murder he had not committed. Even though he is blind he tracks the killer with his intelligence and with the help of his other heightened senses of smell, sound and touch. There are lot of secrets which slowly unfolds through the course of the film. After Drishyam, this is the Mohanlal movie I was waiting for. I really liked the performance of all the characters. But I was little disappointed with the role given to Renji Panicker. I expected more of him in the film. But Mohanlal played the role with such perfection, proving once again that he is one of the finest actors of our country.This movie is a must watch.
