Turbo

Surely another hit for Mammootty in 2024. It's unbelievable that someone at the age of 72 can perform such fight sequences throughout the movie without making any scene boring. Hats off to you, Mammookka. From start to end, the movie is completely dedicated to action. Sometimes, I felt like the action was unnecessarily placed just to maintain the movie's pace. The story is just a cliché, but director Vyshak gives it another dimension. As usual, cliché scenes and twists are part of the movie, which is a bit of a turn-off. The cinematographer, Vishnu Sharma, plays a vital role in making this such an impactful action film with his skills, especially the chase scene in the second half. Cristo Xavier's BGM throughout the movie provides a fresh take on action background scores. Bindu Panikkar's role is the origin of many comedy sequences, but throughout the movie, it was predictable, so there was no thrilling experience. Also, I felt like actor Raj B. Shetty was not used to his actual potential. If you are a mass masala movie lover, hey lads, this movie is for you.

The film Turbo is a cinematic work belonging to the action thriller drama genres, and was directed by Vyshak.

The film's narrative focuses on a character named Jose, who is referred to by his community members as Turbo Jose. The rationale behind this is his formidable batting prowess. It is evident that he is responsible for the creation of a hitting element in every annual church festival. It was imperative that he abduct a young woman from her residence without notifying her boyfriend, Jerry. However, the plan proved to be unsuccessful. It was necessary for Jose to relocate to Chennai in order to evade apprehension by the police. In the city of Chennai, Jerry and his girlfriend are employed in different banking institutions. Following the securing of employment, Jose took the decision to reside in Chennai for a limited period. In the latter half of the narrative, Jerry becomes aware of a substantial fraud perpetrated within the financial institution. Consequently, he is murdered. The fraudulent scheme involved the transfer of substantial sums of money from inactive and dormant accounts to various other accounts, from which the funds were subsequently withdrawn. The individual responsible for this criminal act was identified as Vetrivel Shanmuga Sundaram. He possesses the ability to exert influence over the political and bureaucratic entities within the state. In the aftermath of Jerry's demise, his female companion found herself subject to a series of menacing endeavours. Jose intervenes in order to ensure her safety. The police control and Vetrivel's gangs are in opposition to their cause. Nevertheless, José succeeded in rescuing her and his family.

The narrative was of mediocre quality. The direction was excellent. The performances are of a commendable standard. The film contains a multitude of clichéd scenes, which are indicative of its fundamental weakness. Certain scenes are not as effective. Notwithstanding, it is a valuable for individuals who wish to watch once.

Maybe I made a mistake in watching this movie after watching Thalavan. Even in the first 10-15 minutes, the template of the movie was reveled. The director and production team should realize that Mammootty despite being the stalwart hero he is, age does defy its terms. When you cast a heroin who is young enough to be his granddaughter, the chemistry just doesn't mathematically equate and the audience wouldn't digest it that easily. Even for that matter the fight scenes where the hero hits and the goons fly like frisbee... what is this? Are we still in the 90s? Mammootty doesn't have to be projected as a superhero anymore. It is like expecting Sachin to bat for two days on a New Zealand test pitch against current bunch of bowlers. Anjana's role resembled much like the one in Pachu. I m glad that they brought in someone like Shetty which is refreshing. And that is the reason why i give 4!!

Turbo needed to be a full-on campy action comedy rather than attempting to be sporadically serious. It's almost like Vyshakh knows the script lacks the emotional hooks, so it's up to his directional choices to jump in and save the day, alongside a fun, 90s-throwback protagonist played by Mammooka. Vyshakh definitely delivers when it comes to the action, and there are at least a couple of exciting set pieces (including a superbly staged car chase) that'll keep you engaged, if not invested in the leads' fates. Anjana Jayaprakash, who plays the leading lady, is also good.

Bindu Panicker is in fantastic form, getting the best one-liners (and pop-culture references) in the film. Raj B Shetty is simply exploring new avenues, and while his antagonist is pretty one-note, he's still a few notches above your run-of-the-mill psycho. Midhun Manuel Thomas' writing doesn't offer a lot of highs (or lows for that matter), but lucky for us, he's aiming for low hanging fruit. Christo Xavier's score worked for me in bits and pieces, and not as a whole. Turbo only intends to be a disposable entertainer, with hints of a sequel that doesn't really even need to happen.
