    COPY PASTE OF THE 2004 MOVIE TROY!! Priyadarshan, you truly are outdated!!
    First half is over! You could tell how it's going n where it's going and I'm pretty sure it's not going to get any better. Priyadarshan, please retire, you are outdated and you are a guy who still feel that this melodrama, using the same old cheesy fights and war scenes will sell in the 21st century. Please take a look at movies like Troy, which I felt closely aligns to this movie and what it could have been so far. This movie had a lot of resources at its disposal, but the implementation was s***, thanks to Priyadarshans outdated storyline, direction and war tactics. They could have made this a lot better. I'm pretty sure, the real person "Marakkar" would have had better strategies for beating the Portugese, than this S***. There's nothing out of the box or something tat makes you feel, wow!! They clearly haven't done their research on how war movies can be implemented effectively!!

    "Enthino vendi thilakkunna sambar"

    What a waste of money and resource. This movie lacks research and brilliance. What it needed was a better story and a brilliant director!! It had all the other elements.

    PS: I'm not a Mohanlal fan nor a mamootty fan but a movie buff.! This movie had the resource and capabilities to be a masterclass. DISAPPOINTED!!!!

    Second half: After the first half, during the intermission, I posted my review above and I was referring to the old Classic Troy there. That Priyadarshan should have watched Troy. My O my, I was surprised to know that he did watch it and he literally copy pasted scenes from the 2004 movie Troy.! The scene Hector was killed, dialogue to dialogue, BGM and even the scene when Hector's dad pleads to Achilles, to get Hector's body back, they copy pasted it!! Fireballs from Troy was replaced with Spike balls, Achilles was replaced with Marakkar, Hellen was replaced with Aarcha!!

    All that resource at their disposal, n all they could do was copy paste a 2004 classic?! And did they really expected us mallu audience to not pick this out???

    Please do us a favour everyone and watch the 2004 Brad Pitt movie Troy. (It's my favourite of all time)

    I'm also not part of any campaign to demote this movie! Just stating facts and my honest review. I honestly wished this had been better! But thanks to Priyadarshan's outdated brains, my day n time had been spoilt.!!
