Review : Oru Naal Varum


'Oru Naal Varum' the much awaited film from our Universal star Mohanlal has released today in around 70 centers, all across Kerala. This film, which is being directed by T K Rajeev Kumar was produced by the actor turned producer Manianpillah Raju. This film which was completed much before was not able to get released due to various reasons.

The main thing related with this Mohanlal-Sreenivasan starrer is that it is a gud family entertainer with almost all the needed ingredients for a family hit. This film excelled in almost all parts and is expected to get the much anticipated hit for our Mohanlal. It should be noted that this film is having some drawbacks of it's own also.

This film is all about the story of an ordinary citizen who is forced to run after files paying bribes and offering presents to every officers on the way, to help him to realize his dream of building a house of his own. The film starts with this theme and later proceeds with some unexpected twists and turns in it.

In the acting side, as usual Mohanlal is the highlight of this film with his ease and simple performance of the character. He also surprised the viewers with his trademark expressions that everyone thought he had lost somewhere in his path to stardom. Sreenivasan, who is in an equally important role, was able to stand upto the challenge put forward by the lead actor, Mohanlal.

The major let down was that Bollywood beauty Sameera Reddy, who was expected to perform much in this film was offered a nothing to perform character. Also the performance by the other lead lady Devayani was not that great. Others in the cast, including Suraj, Nedumudi Venu and others have made their roles into perfection.

In the technical side, this film is not an extraordinary brilliant one, but an usual film with a very common technical perfection in it. Sreenivasan had done a descent job with the script, though it is nowhere near his previous best films. The music department of this film is just simply ok and the background score was really superb. The major letdown comes in the department of direction and the editing, which according to me should have improved a lot.

All in all, this new film 'Oru Naal Varum' has opened in a tremendous manner all across the state and as per the first day reports, it is going to be the first major hit for our Mohanlal in 2010. According to me, this film is a worth watch for almost all type of Malayalam cinegoers..


My Movie Verdict : Good
Rating : 4.0/5.0
