L2: Empuraan

With all the budget and solid starcast, if only they had a good screenplay.

Fire Murali gopy and get someone new to write Lucifer 3 .

All the layers and symbolisms from Lucifer is missing in empuraan and is replaced with flashy pointless scenes . Movie was going good in the first act then maybe the makers thought screw this and let's throw random bs.

Manju warrier was the only saving grace. Except her makeover saree in one key scene. That was off putting .

Tovinos character arc and his big political decision doesn't make any sense.

Prithviraj as Zayed is really good but has placed himself as an equal or even better than the titular protagonist. Ahem, conflict of interest. By the third act, KA becomes like a secondary character in his own film.

Deepak Devs score is crap. Antony Perumbavoor and his son doing glorified cameos sums up the essence of this movie.

Mohanlal is at his best and does what he can do with his enigmatic - more than life character in this wasted multi million opportunity of a promising sequel. Still he is nowhere close to the amazing Stephen Nedumpally we saw in Lucifer.

His attire looks like an unintentional parody. Wonder who is the fasion terrorist for his costumes as KA.

In short KA nexus and its dealings feel like written by a 11 year old who is fascinated by newly found conspiracy theories.

Haven't been let down by any other movie in recent times like this.
