Nallavan (2010)
Drama • 2h 12m
Jayasurya performed above average. Movie has some action sequences with all major Malayalam side actors. The director tried story and major guidance for actors.Comedy is just like any typical Malayalam films. So scenes are casted like director is taken the day off and just instructed the actors who are more less experienced to act scenes. Film is mixed with Tamil sets to create a cross border story line like other such Tamil-Malayalam story line.It would have been narrated in a different way with cut short on lengthy dialogues at times felt very boring. Talents of veteran actors like Saikumar and Sudduque are less used. Some places the movie lacks the continual flow of story like the script is done at the set itself.The film toys with some interesting ideas here and there but none of it really works. The characters for instance look like they have been cut out of cardboard and there is a lifeless feel to them throughout. And more important, the film never quite recovers from a monotony that kills the life of its proceedings.Nallavan tries hard to be a romantic tale and isn't it distressing then that the romance is absent? There is no attempt to provide some fresh insight into a formulaic story and this is the reason why it ends up being a lot more banal and a lot less perceptive than its makers apparently assume it to be.
