    superb movie.. must watch...

    #TheGreatFather very gud 1st half with some brilliant performances Slowpaced but classy.2nd half will be the key with some real mass scenes. A brilliant second half, what a stylish movie. #mammukka is very stylish. Action sequences! Suspense works out very well. #TheGreatFather isn't just a movie for the fans By taking a socially relevant issue as the core theme it becomes a great film in the end.

    A Stylish Family Oriented thriller Movie!!!

    David Ninan is a builder who leads a wonderful life with his wife and daughter. Due to an unfortunate incident, Their peaceful life takes a drastic turn and How they recover from it makes the movie drives forward. Mammoka owns each scene with his spectacular acting in emotional scenes and also mass scenes. Haneef Adeni handles the story superbly and one scene actually scares the hell out of me. The first half of the movie was very good and the second half started slowly, kind of dragging too. The pace was regained after that and the ending was also convincing even though there were some loopholes. Arya was good and it would have been a better one for him if he dubs for himself. Sneha has nothing much to offer in the movie. The background score used for Arya and Mammoka's intro was likable and my favorite one is Arya's background score. Overall, it's a stunning action thriller movie and I really enjoyed it.
