I am an ardent watcher of movies and never thought a producer will spent such amount of the limited theaters compared to other south Indian languages. I was pleasantly surprised to see Gokulam Gopalan made such an effort. I too believed that this was an over-hyped movie due to the budget. But having seen the movie I must say I am impressed with it. About the story part, everyone knows it, so it was the presentation that caught my attention. More than 3 hours, I thought there would have been boring minutes in-between. But there were none. Makers of Jodha Akbar please note this, you need not have a budget of Ten million to make a movie visually splendid and for almost a similar length movie, I must say I was bored for some part of Jodha Akbar. What makes the film click is the acting. Mammootty in a restrained manner and Sarathkumar wowed every one. Manoj K Jayan and Padmapriya also gave one of their best performances. I am an avid watcher of Hollywood films, so when I say action in this film is good it is not an exaggeration. Sure it has wired stunts but the action scenes are intense enough. Music was a let down, but sound design by Rasool Pookkutty was not. This man is surely going to go places. What made the action scenes seem fabulous was his hard work. MTV is a master story teller and he proved this once again. I stopped short from giving full marks because of the under par casting of foreign actors. They seemed out of place and not one of them convinced viewers by their acting that they are from that century while the rest of the cast was superb. Last but not the least, Hariharan, I never thought he would pull it off, hats off. Cinematography and editing is fabulous as well. Overall this is the most well made Malayalam film till now if you delete the foreign acting bit. Not even a single Malayalam movie fan should miss it.
