| Mr.Fraud Malayalam Movie Review |
Summary :Overall an average movie which could go well with Lal fans, thanks to the first half.
Positives:
Mohanlal - With his cool performance is the saving grace of the movie.
Rating:2.5/5
The Movie had good expectation since we saw several posters which kind of gave a hint that Lal's character has negative shade and is a villain throughout. Also a Lal movie after Dirshyam. Unni - Lal combo after Madampi and Grandmaster.
Now to the movie. First half is a treat for Lal fans with several one liners which are told more to audience than to the characters in the film. Intro was bad. In a costume which does not suit Lal. The first hiest operation also does not have any thrill associated with the same and is shown very little without any details of how the operation was performed. Then the movie goes to the biggest operation planned by Lal's team. There is toughness of a thief tried to be brought in during all these discussion but that toughness is serious lacking. This is one of the major problem with the movie - The central character lacks the toughness of a thief dealing with big hiest operations. On the contrary Lal plays the role with his usual ease and coolness which is the saving grace of the movie. The one liners like Njaan ippol pralobhanangalil veezhaarilla, Garbham undaakaan vannadhalla, might go well with fans but could sound awkward for other viewers. First half ends up with an average interval punch.
In the 2nd half the movie focus on how the big operation is performed and then on some other emotional content targeting family audience. The biggest problem in the 2nd half is that the focus of movie shifts from the hiest operation to the emotional content and a story build up. The Mr. Fraud turns into Nanma Niranja Fraud which feel creates lot of dissatisfaction among the viewers. The expectation of viewers is to see a thrilling heist movie which does not get addressed. Tail end-ile get up evoked lot of laughter in the theatre.
Everyone knows that Mohanlal is a one man Army, capable of carrying the whole film on his shoulders when it comes to mass movies….In the past he has pulled off many superhits soley on his charisma (Narasimham,Ravanaprabhu, Nadodi, Madampi……list is endless)……..The Great Advantage, Mr.Fraud has : A Vintage Mohanlal, playing to the gallery!.... The film is an out and out Mohanlal Show…..The film has enough Mohanlal Magic to lift the film from Average to Above Average Level…
For a change, Lalettan comes in salt & pepper hair style, which was really cool….The Screen presence of this actor is awesome…….Some people look good in photos, some in real life…..But, when it comes to screen presence, no one can match Lalettan….Mr.Fraud underlines that fact!....Fraud is tailor made for Mohanlal,who proves why he is regarded as the complete actor, excelling in style, mannerism,comic oneliners, action sequences, songs, mass scenes and what not!.....Special mention must be made about his commendable energy and commitment in two super fight sequences…..
