Nelson as a restaurant staff manages to create a few fine laughter's while Rai Lekshmy, Joy Mathew and Siddhique are clad in their regular roles. A couple of sentimental scenes are also handled wisely by the senior star. Mammootty is back to his previous action avatars, though he is not having any easy walk through across action stuffs.
RAJAMANIKYAM MOVIE STYLES MOVIE
In the acting side Jojo effectively holds the movie all across with his dumb act and cracks some fine wits. With plenty of helicam and aerial shots, the movie has a chic look but could have fared better if the entire action scenes and climax was shot more realistically. Add to that the poor dialogues and punch lines doesn’t work well for the movie.Ījai Vasudev ably proves that he is a close disciple of director Joshy and Vysakh, sticking to their styles of pacy making, though he is offered not so promising scripts. A few years back,(particularly at the time of Pokkiriraja) Mammootty could have earned applauses with this kind of action with henchman thrown all around and bouncing back to distances, but of late we don’t know whether there will be many takers for these predictable ‘Telugu’ style action. But the problem with the movie is it’s unrealistic action scenes ,whose lack of believability largely affects the effectiveness of the other part of the narratives which are canned better. The flashback scenes are also told with flair with Mammoottty looking younger and stylish in different looks.
The former half of the movie which takes a different buildup of the lead character is impressive. With police and conman at his doorsteps everyday, Sekharankutty is forced to take a new avatar to protect his dear ones from impending danger.Ī formulaic clichéd film from scriptwriters Uday Krissna- Sibi K Thomas, ‘Rajadhiraja’ inspired from films like ‘Ustad’ and ‘Basha’ is filled with plenty of mass elements, slow motions and star tantrums to satisfy the fans of its lead star.
But as an impulsive Aiyappan steps into the restaurant, he also starts to make newer problems to Sekharankutty in an everyday basis. He is very particular not to get involved in any skirmishes that happen outside his family. Sekharankutty is a decent gentleman who weights his family comprising of wife Radha(Rai Lekshmy) and his only daughter Sreedurga, much more than anything else. The movie follows Aiyappan(Jojo), a fraudster who is moving on to a village in the border, to the place of his brother-in-law Sekharankutty,(Mammootty) who works as the manager of a petroleum pump in the highway and also runs a restaurant nearby.
Clearly meant to satisfy the fans of Mammootty, the fast-paced flick but goes for over the top action and easy twists and climax to spoil the plot. Presented by debutante Ajai Vasudev, the movie but starts off in a different manner than these prototypes but graduate soon into the similar lines of mass thrillers. Shylock has also been released in Tamil as Kuberan with the same cast.Coming after Rajamanikyam, and Pokkiriraja is another film in the same vein in the title ‘Rajadhiraja’. Shajon, Siddique, Baiju Santhosh, John Vijay, Hareesh Kanaran and others have done justice to their roles. Meena, the popular South Indian actress, too makes a comeback after two years. The veteran actor has delivered an electrifying performance in Shylock, which also marks his first on-screen collaboration with popular Tamil actor Rajkiran. Mammootty impresses with his punches and kicks, with Gopi Sundar's brilliant background score to boot. The action sequences choreographed by Anl Arasu are a visual treat. The latter half, in fact, restricts the flow of the film as emotions take centre-stage and the pace and energy of the film drop. While the first half is filled with punch dialogues and mass scenes, the second half of the film focuses on the back story and ends as a revenge drama. One also wishes they would have come up with more original one-liners for Boss, along with a less-cliched storyline. Jointly scripted by newcomers Aneesh Hameed and Bibin Mohan, Shylock has comedy, thrills and the revenge elements in it, but the mix isn't perfect. The superstar's stylish appearance and mannerism, and his punch dialogues, create a mass aura around the 'Boss' character. It's Mammootty's third film with Ajai Vasudev, after Rajadhiraja and Masterpiece. ‘Sooryavanshi’ review: A Diwali treat for Bollywood action movie lovers.Eternals review: Chloé Zhao weaves likeable new faces into MCU.‘Spencer’ review: The portrait of a princess as a woman.
