Featured reviews
The first part of this superhero fiction is marvelous. Making, artwork, VFX and other works were great. The story was also portrayed well. One of the best movie from Basil joseph. Great effort and teamwork. Guru somasundharam performed well than tovino thomas. Missed the theatre experience. Waiting for the second part if there is one.
For a change, it was refreshing to watch a superhero movie that isn't about saving (certain parts of 👀) the world, that doesn't have sophisticated technology. As a superhero movie in Mollywood/Indian Cinema, it could have easily followed the regular Hollywood tropes, but it didn't & I thought that it stayed grounded, relevant to the industry and the audience.
Great cinematography, great sound design, people aren't happy with the VFX - I didn't mind it at all, a story that could have been all over the place - but isn't, humor, great acting, this film has it all. In an era where we have high budget films (without superheroes) in which modified cars are sent to space (press F for Family), MM proves that you don't need anything flashy/over-the-top to make a film work. Bruh's out running in his 'Hawaii Chappal' despite being a superhero as he's figuring his powers out. There's enough time spent on the antagonist and his backstory. Good character development overall.
In the process of explaining everything, did the movie become a tad too slow and long in the first half? Maybe, or maybe not. All that said this was a good 'origin' story. I would really like to see a sequel or two for this, but now that everything's been explained, a similar pacing in a future movie might become an issue.
But I choose not to worry about that RN, this movie is one that needs to be celebrated not only for what it is, but what Indian cinema could be in several years' time. Imagine a day when superheroes from different film industries in India crossover into each other's movies and eventually team up! Hell, 3-4 movies down the line, maybe Minnal Murali is so popular that MCU figures out a way to make him cannon, or at least for a cameo?
Excited to see what comes from this.

I believe Shaktiman was the first Indian superhero that too was in my childhood, after that Krrish came. Enthiran also was one kind of a superhero but not human.
Now Malayalam film industry is having its first super hero movie.
The story, making and everything technically was extra ordinary hats off to basil.
Guru Somasundaram was amazing, cant talk more about his character as it would become spoiler Tovino also did well, perfect for this role.
The only negative would be the background music.

This was beyond my expectations. But Basil managed to direct the movie so profoundly with every details being thoroughly gone through. Acting shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. But the way it has been directed, I would say I can see a lot of potential in the Malayalam Film Industry. With such a low budget, this movie is going to change the face of Cinema from Malayalam Film Industry. Hats off guys, couldnt be more proud.
I'm only disappointed by the fact that the movie wasn't released in theatres. Would've been a delight to watch this on the big screen.

The Movie Is Slowpaced But Entartaning And The Exfactor Of This Movie Is The Negative Character .. The Way He Act And His Screen Presence Is Just Mind Blowing .. Because Of Him The Character Of Minnal Murli Shines And We Loved Him. Because If Negative Was Not That Much Capebale To Act Fearsly Then The Heroic Character Must Fade Out But They Proved It .. This Is How The Superhero Movies Are To Be Made .. Last 55 Min Of The Is Just Awesome And Visual Spectacular.
