Hi I'm Tony (2014) User Reviews

Best Psychological Thriller ever made in Malayalam!!!

[vishnucheruvelil-48509 · 9/10 · 3 November 2015]

The best thriller ever made in Malayalam!!! Hats-off to Jean Paul Lal! I was actually not interested to watch this film mainly because of the negative reviews garnered by the film, I saw this film in DVD and was just Kicked!!!! I cannot understand why this film got negative reviews! The film have some brutal violence scenes not suitable for children below 15. Then only negative I felt was Lal's dialogs, which were not really clear and hard to understand! Malayalees cannot understand or digest the theme and the content, that was one main reason for the commercial failure of the film and most of them didn't understand the Twist in the Climax which was Mind Blowing!!!! Its a Perfect Psychological Thriller!!!

Sheer Brilliance

Hi Im Tony is an infallible concoction from Lal Jr. & team,one among the best thrillers ever produced in mollywood.Im surprised to see a major share of reviews for this movie being on the negative side,pointing out an insubstantial script,calling it a retarded cousin of numerous western thrillers.Pathetic is the word to describe their act which drags yet another deserving film into the league of Devadoothan,Big B & numerous others.The climax itself demonstrates the brilliance of this movie.I don't know how many among the audience understood the climax the way director intended it to be! Alas! Only a meager section among the 20-30 odd ones inside the theater cared to give a close watch & rest were restless giving out vulgar comments against the makers & the movie.

A big thumbs up for the brain behind the movie,Mr.Jean Paul Lal for his spine-chilling screenplay & focused direction.Cinematography by Alby is top notch & the movie can boast off some stellar frames.Lighting & Sound Design departments have done a fabulous job and deserves special mention.Last,but not the least,Lal has done some characters with a shade of psychopath before,but Tony is special & undoubtedly one of his best portrayals till date.Asif Ali has given out his best performance till date & excelled with his dialog delivery.

Now what's a notable negative of the movie?? The idea to produce the film in Malayalam! The makers should have understood the fact that since the movie speaks Malayalam,its mandatory that it will take at least a home video release or rather 4-5 years to get the applause it deserve!

The last word? A scintillating thriller of international standards worth every penny we pay for

Some +Ves ::*Cinematography. *Sound Design. *Performances. *Direction. *Overall Perfection. *Editing.

Some -Ves::Maybe a little trimming in between could have made this more appealing to the mass audience.

Verdict::I have heard hard work pays off,but a box office success looks strenuous for the makers of Hi ImTony! Its heart-breaking to witness such a brilliant work getting thrashed for being devoid of elements of masala.HatsOff 2 Lal Jr. & Team for their dedication & perfection in making.Looking forward to more from your side C'mon movie buffs,start accepting deserving movies @ the right time,its hard time !

Ma Rating::8.5/10

NB::No Item Dances,Crude Humor,Slapstick Comedies,Hero Thrashing Villain's Men etc etc!

One Word Epic !!💯

This Movie eminently resembled the violent korean thrillers !! Having only characters less than 15 ,this movie managed to keep the audience throughout by subtle performance & great direction along with Splendid Sound Mix 🔥

I'll recommend this flick to each and everyone who has a craze for violent thrillers . Three words to describe this movie are : Raw , Violent & Horrorful 💯🙌

Psycho Thriller

A very interesting thriller, I hope there is a part 2, The storyline is very interesting, I thought Samir's friend was Tony's wife's mistress, but it's not, it's an unpredictable film, cool, btw I watched it in 2022,
