Oppam

Wonderful acting by mohanlal as an blind man, it was good to see that he is not giving eye contact , but concentrating to hearing while he converse with others, and respond to circumstances, a good screenplay is seen in the movie, where the culprit is known earlier itself, but how it is proved is a good challenge, the first two songs were good, with a nice BGM while at the time of suspense moves, the challenging moves between hero and the villain, was a good show, over all good acting by mohanlal, samuthrakani,child artist and others too .well directed by priyadarshan, worth watching this movie on how a blind person can prove he is innocent.

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!!

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.

Great production quality and cinematography, great music. Had potential of 9 or 10/10

Mohanlal becomes the Mollywood style Daredevil, the superhero in American comic by Marvel Comics. ballerina spinning Jackie Chan and that was the drawback I felt, it was a bit too much how he's blind whooping out 4 rowdy policemen in the room. That's when it hit me, of course they'll add this scene in here, it's Bollywood! you know when all is going dandy and normal there's a questionable scene coming. This abnormal activity blew out whatever the realism that was there. I am glad they didn't make him fly as he's fighting with all them ropes and pulley system.

I will watch it again

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.
