The King & The Commissioner
Mannarkkad Okaz
Status: <50%
This was the second most awaited movie of the year according
to me only because of the iconic character 'Joseph Alex IAS' & 'Bharath
Chandran IPS' . The two characters are icons to every mollywood lover. So the
prospect of these two giants coming together in one movie was exciting for
every one. But what to say was completely shattered and heartbroken after
watching the movie.
The story is about Pakistan terrorists trying to assassinate
Indian PM with the help of some Indian ‘stereo typical’ villains [babas, gurus,
corrupt politicians etc]. Joseph Alex & Bharath Chandran are assigned to
investigate the matters and whether they manage to nab the culprits and save
the nation [!] form the rest of the story.
J.alex says “I have an extra spine” – wish the movie had one
– THE SCRIPT. Two guys who should blamed for screwing up big time are Renji
Panicker [Writer, who according to reports was writing it on the sets] &
Shaji Kailas [Director]. The movie doesn’t even have a refreshing story line
[nothing special than what we have seen in prequels and plenty of Vijaykanth
movies]. The director cameraman and editor adds to the misery with oft repeated
camera angles and editing styles. The BG too sucked big time, remember the
original BGs were/is super-duper hits among the youth.
The lead actors too disappointed, but what more they could
do on such a shoddy script. Suresh Gopi was the better, but was completely
sidelined. Mammootty looks tired, bored, his dialogues lack the punch. All the
supporting actors were awful, especially the Pakistani villains and the
politicians at the centre. The movie can
also be called a sequel to ‘Ekalavyan’ [another hit from 90’s] due to Sai Kumar’s
character.
Looks like Mammootys bad fortune at Box Office Continues,
with a mega budget of 10+crores, low hype and Average opening this one will be
an addition to the long list of disasters Megastar [so as the director] has had
in the past 2 years.
Rating: 1.5/5
Verdict: Extremely Disappointing [ Better watch the
Originals in DVD]
Box Office: Flop or
Average
