Christopher

The bar for director B. Unnikrishnan and writer Udaykrishna is set so low to begin with, anything even marginally better will come across as tolerable. Christopher is a film that should have released in the mid 2000s, and audiences would've lapped it up. If you keep Faiz Siddik's interesting choice of frames and Justin Varghese's stylish score aside, Christopher has nothing to offer. With a script this sterile, the ensemble cast (including Mammootty) doesn't even try. From beginning to end, there's the repetitive format of a heinous crime (against women) taking place, Christopher learning about it, and he instantly goes after the culprits and offs them. Someone should seriously tell Udaykrishna and B. Unnikrishnan that depicting graphic rape scenes over and over doesn't make their film gritty. So many rapes, so many murders. We get the point, duh!

This easily is the worst film of 2023 I have seen and I am not looking forward to which other films compete with it. This sad excuse for a film royally wastes a Megastar Mammootty. The writing is tedious and that is a nicest thing I can say about it. More than a biography of a vigilant cop, it is more of a showreel of brutal rapes and murders added just to glorify the lead character.

Even with the non-linear narrative, there is nothing in the screenplay that could engage. It simply had a template, something worse is going to happen to the girls followed by Mammotty showing up in slow motion either while getting out of his car or walking. Then he kills the perpetrators in an encounter. There is no character arc or even redemption. Everyone around him gets murdered to a point it becomes unbearable to sit through.

There should be a petition to stop Vinay Rai from signing such characters. His character may be might have worked in 90s or early 2000s but it simply is a dud now. With the scene structure having no head and tail, the writer - director resorting to just one worn out template, this was indeed one of those Mammootty starrer which was outright painful to watch.

It's a poor and bad script and everyone doing it for sharing screen with Mammootty.

It can't be termed as a fiasco, since it's a dated story with too many cameos, this trend started after Gold directed by Alphonse Puthran.

In certain scenes even Mammootty doesn't seemed interested his expressions were bland (May be he sensed the complete blunder in writing but agreed due to some old commitments to the duo ).

But the stalwart has his moments.

The antagonist seemed complete miss cast.

Amala tries harder but the script was poor.

BGM and cinematography were good.

Thank God there are no songs.

Ukri your scripts are outdated please stop writting scripts we Audience can't suffer

B. Unnikrishnan should stop film making for consistently churning out thrash!! Anyways this B. Unnikrishnan -Udaykrishna duo never disappoints for making disappointing movies,they have stamped that benchmark with this movie!! No amount of PR work or threats won't help 'Christopher'..feels really sorry for Mammootty..Just another 'Arattu'

Mammoty going to face the same fate as Mohanlal Christopher is big Disaster i don't think it will recover it's production cost 20 cr

All Actors should Stop doing movies with trash Directors and script writers

Such a waste movie

0.01/10.

Watched yesterday expected some goosebump moments but failed miserably.

What i felt genuinly: Mammoottys makeover is showing him more older.

Few dialogues and only muscle pidutham(No Swag or flexibility) Particular scenes () created in the first half shown vulgarily-no sentiments whatsoever like triggering to opposite direction.

Heavy death rate.

Sneha role failed & her father is missing post interval.

Shine tom issue in dialogue delivery-not audible some times.

Characters comes and goes just like that (jinu joseph,deepak etc)not pitching to the storyline. Same case with past and present scenes.

Overhyped and overrated story telling Despite Mammoottys character telling to inform him if anything else comes up, the lady character informs Mammootty after everything is finished-aaha Special jailer and Amala paul final revealation wasted.

Villain background narration-motives-business everything is just for sake of a subject. No solid reasons.

Same patterns from Unnikrishnans old movies and Mammoottys scenes depicting from The Great father, Abrahaminte Santhathikal and many more.

Political statement punched in- a communist can understand (CM) Villain vinay rai is charmingly good.

Despite having tons of casting, script is not supporting them to show their potential.
