Good Acting. Average Story. Ok movie for time pass.

If you what to enjoy the movie change the playback speed to an average of 130%😅

" The Kung Fu Master " Malayalam movie.

Abrid Shine does extensive background work on his projects, before venturing into them. If the movie '1983' was on cricket, 'Action Biju' was on Police life and 'Poomaram' was solely on youth festival.

In this project, he has selected 'Wing Chun' ...a Southern Chinese Kung Fu technique, as a theme for this presentation. Wing Chun' a form of self defense that requires quick hand and leg movements, to conquer over the opponent. Abrid Shine was able to introduce the Mallu audience, some un-adulterated action sequences, without any dupes not any camera techniques.

Storyline revolves around the brother sister couple, both Wing Chun' experts, suffering some personal damages and loses due to attack by a goon gang and the revenge follows. The background scenery is beautiful, as the story is happening at Rishikesh, Dehradun and Mana the last village on Indian side....snow clad scenic settings for a Kung Fu climax fight.

Director, himself taking care of the action sequences, has choreographed the fight scenes to perfection.

The story is so flimsy and usual revenge thread, which we would have seen in, so many grade 3 Chinese Kung Fu movies.

7 on 10 ....get ready for some rapid fire punches.

Even though most of the actors are naive and debutantes, they have perfectly done the action choreography, to mask their inexperience. Neeta Pillai has grown from the bubbly girl' image of 'Poomaram' to a disciplined killing machine, in this presentation.

Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan ... not your cup of tea.... Forget about this movie.

Me, enjoyed those speedy repeated punches, very much ... Ouch ! Looks like, I dislocated my shoulder.

I think the major drawback of the movie is that none of the lead actors (except the girl) knows to act. Director has put an effort to reduce the emotional and scenes that need acting to very minimal but still bad acting fails to connect to the audience.

Not much story to consider. Also budget may have been a restriction for this movie.

Action sequences are really good and very real, no rope flying or gimmicks.

Director got the best martial artists for the roles , movie also got beautiful locations , captured beautifully.

Normal story and script. But good action sequences and beautiful visuals of Dehradun, Rishikesh, Massurie etc. One time watchable..

Abrid Shine probably wanted mallus to know about Wing Chun. I can't think of any other reason. The story is pretty much the usual revenge story. Protagonist's family is murdered and they take their revenge on the villain.

It was painful to watch this movie. Not because of the action. But because of the acting. The villain was trying too hard to act as a psycho. Some moments made me laugh.

No disrespect. But I don't think acting is their cup of tea.

I couldn't connect with the characters at all. The whole movie is amateurish. Abrid Shine's worst work.

Script is average but super action👍💪💪💪💪💪💪⚔ all the best

The action scenes were shot with super close camera angles. Camera is never stationary and the editing makes things more chaotic.

The dialogue delivery is really bad and so is some of the acting.

Do not reccomend watching, skip.

One of the best action packed Malayalam movie watched recently. Congrats Abrid shine

I think its a new milestone for malayalam film,i believe its not that easy to put together such fight scenes,hatsoff to the crew members.

If one sped up the slow motion scenes -- this movies might get over in One hour 20 mins. Unnecessary slow motion scenes. Fails to capture, me as an audience.

Revenge movies generally absorbs you in and you feel good, when justice is done. I am sorry, I dont feel that, with this movie.

Cinematography is excellent. Fight choreography is average. Story is nil.

Positives: *Action sequences is the main positive thing in this movie and it convinced perfectly *Abrid shine done a good job in terms of making the movie * Bgm is perfectly matching for the movie *Dop also good Negatives: * Story is very simple and predictable *Dubbing not good * Acting is not a big part in movies it was average though Conclusion: Those who like to watch action movies should see this.👍 If your are demanding good script and performance not watch this movie🙏

Great fighting sequences without Chinese people. Realistic fighting sequences and good fight acting. Simple story but flows well and curiosity is great.

This is a low budget amateur movie. Lighting is always bright in every shot, and probably shot the movie with un movie like cameras. It's about kungfu or martial arts, but fight scenes are not usual movie style shots, but often close up. Script lack twists, and predictable. it's first 20 minutes are a well edited home video, and overall someone trying to make a movie for the first time with a small group. I saw lots of crap reviews on IMDb, so decided to post about what I saw.

This entire movie is cringeworthy action and and story is simple. Total drag in first half. And acting is mediocre. Waste of time.

Loved the movie! The fight scenes especially were really good!

Worst acting, non existent story and horrible lines !

The action sequences are good, but you can see nothing new, watch good martial arts movies from 70s and 80s of Bruce Lee / Jet Li instead of this garbage

Shooting fight sequences in the snow would have been hell of a task. Hats off to the crew for the work that you have put up. This movie definitely a great attempt as an action thriller . And of course a visual treat !

This was a superb movie with real fight.....No rope or any safety measurements.....Those who acted in that movie was superb in fighting....It was really awesome....I really like it.....Very much interesting👊👊🥋🥋🥋🥋

This is, without doubt the greatest Martial Arts film ever in Malayalam. Even though the story or narration is not appealing, it is a real treat for Action or Martial Arts lovers.

Couldn't watch this movie in theaters, but watched it recently on Asianet.

One of its kind in Malayalam movies, or maybe in Indian cinema; purely from an action point of view. Felt authentic. Kudos to the team for pulling it off gracefully.

But have to point out that storyline was thin, as seen in most movies of this genre.

Can't believe Abrid made such a drastic choice from ultra-realistic to full on action-drama. Always a fan of directors who breaks their own boundaries in filmmaking. Can't wait to see what he is up to next.
