18am Padi Malayalam movie.
Marketing is an art by itself, that attracts the audience to the auditorium. The name, the posters depicting Superstars..all are according to this plan. 18am Padi - the name made you think.. This is a religious historical movie, This movie is in tune with the recent political scenes in Kerala, This is multistar Superstars studded movie .. You are wrong in all 3 counts. The story happening in Trivandrum around 1990s. Rivalry between two schools and the events inside and outside the school is the oneline thread of the presentation. Non linear editing is well done to keep our curiosity. Camera work is excellent. Music and back ground score is commendable. The battalion of cast members, most of them having NO or monologues to do on screen managed well by the script. The Superstars like Mammootty, Prithviraj, Unni Mukundan, Arya are all cameos for the project.. marketing strategy. The school boys and girls are new to the screen, but carried their roles very well.... the Malayalam movie is getting the future heros and heroines. The debutant director, even though not new to the industry, did his job well, but should have contrailed the unnecessary length of the presentation. 7 on 10 for the newcomer's movie.
Unbelievable storyline, raw action scenes in school level, unacceptable social interactions make the movie a fantasy. By the time every character is introduced, it's time for interval.
Not a Superstar movie, 'mass' dialogues and scenes belong to the new gen. Worth a watch.

I don't understand the logic behind the movie . One of the worst I've seen in decades.. stupid storyline and acting..I feel sad for the producer.. no wonder why this movie flopped
Review in 2 words "thoroughly avoidable " and such a wannabe effort in terms of acting and direction
WORSTTTTTTT MOVIE EVER MADE.....NEVER EVEN THINK ABOUT WATCHING IT..... MISLEADING CAST TOO
As a Mammooka fan and because of his recent hits, I had great expectations for this movie even though he was in an extended cameo. My expectations were even higher because it's Shankar Ramakrishnan's directorial debut and many Mollywood mainstream stars are in cameos. But the movie is all kinds of bad. The movie makes no sense and almost every aspect of this movie sucks. The one good memorable scene was the fight scene in a bus. 18am Padi is set in 90s but the costumes wore by the characters is full modern. The direction was so bad that the movie felt like an advertisement most of the time. This movie made me understand that Shankar Ramakrishnan is a really bad film maker. I might have said okay to this movie if it was made in around 2012 because at that time, realistic Malayalam movies were scarce. But now, there are very good movies relasing and 18am Padi cannot be compared with them. There was no standout performance. I'm not undermining the debutants. I know they have worked hard but the debutants were just debutants. I thought Mammootty's cameo will be as strong as Dulquer's cameo in Parava or Mohanlal's cameo in Kayamkulam Kochunni. But his character was dull as the movie. Technically, the movie is good with some very good shots. I recommended this movie to the people who likes highschool kids partying like grownups, talking like grownups, fighting like grownups etc. If you are looking for a good movie, 18am Padi is not the destination.
