Mohanlal and Unnikrishnan strikes
again after the big success of Madambi. Lal in this movie is Chandrasekhar, one
divorcee lazy Police Officer who is much troubled by his personal life. Lal’s
ex-wife, Deepthi is portrayed by Priyamani. Sadly she doesn’t contribute much
to this movie. While amidst all these troubles, Lal gets appointed as Head of
Metro crime stopper divison and finally gets a chance to make things work. He
is assisted by Narain and Jagathy, who remains in Lal’s shadow although the
movie.
The movie is slow moving, yet
entertaining. the movie hits to life when Chandrasekhar receives
a letter from a criminal named Z who claims to be a fan of him. This Z wants
Chandrasekhar back in game and Chandrasekhar is all set for the game..
Unnikrishnan, in this film takes a
turn for the better. He created this film in a distinctive way with sheer
brilliance. The director instead of focusing on dialogues and stunts gave much
stress to the investigation and plot. The viewers of Grandmaster don’t have to
sit through the verbal diarrhea of the protagonist or his gaudy heroic acts. If
meticulously watched, reflections of Agatha christie's famous novel ABC Murders
can be found in some parts of the movie.. Shades of sentimentalism can be seen
in the movie as well.
The movie has got much positive
aspects. The biggest plus point of this movie is that the culprit has a
convincing motive and everything is well planned. The purpose of the murder and
why the culprit embroiled Chandrasekhar in is rationally justified. The movie
doesn’t torture the viewers with unwanted characters. The movie is so
brilliantly directed that the director succeeds in making the audience scratch
their heads. The skill of the scriptwriter is reflected all throughout the
movie, especially in the climax. Deepak Dev has composed two beautiful songs
for this movie. Some may feel that the songs are uncalled for, but they’d know
the impact of the songs once they’ve finished watching this superb movie.
Vinod Illampally has wonderfully
captured each and every moment wonderfully through his camera. The background
music at times seems loud, but it’s fresh. Casting was also done in an
exquisite way. They really made use of the talents of these fine actors. Babu
Antony’s acting needs special mentioning and the girl who played Lal’s daughter
has done a fine job as well. .
After some bad setbacks, Roma
strikes back through Grandmaster. Surely this time she won’t disappoint her
fans. She looked super cool in the movie.
Lal excels as a fine police officer
onscreen. Lal as always did well as a man in his forties who is much bothered
by his personal life. Although most of
his dialogues are simple, Lal with his skilled voice modulation and dialogue
delivery creates much impact on the audience. The tremendous effort of the cast
and crew has been greatly accoladed by the audience. In short Grandmaster is
one great suspense thriller and of course it’s worth a watch!
Verdict:
Go for it!
