A scene that caught my attention was the "Bruce Lee"biji's action in the climax scene. She saved the village from the blast and projecting the fact that u don't need to have superpowers to do great things. U just need the willpower.the girl is equally important as the hero...
Family watch?
@@ssf_9 sure👍😊
@@KIDUWAY okay..
can't really start watching without assurance these days.. 😅
@@ssf_9 for Malayalam cinema u don't need to think twice.. but for Bollywood trash it is hard to see even with ourselves
@@sandeepsaini2118 I agree
The little kid calmly going around drinking coconut water in the pre-interval fight was on level 💯
😄😄😄😂
Excuse me🤣🤣🤣
Seriously!?
I didnt like it tho. Unfunny
@@Yo-bk4dk why so grumpy
For me the movie biggest takeaway was the villan origin story as he was not a random dude popping up to do something bad instead all the things he did has a reason.It was such a well written and layered character.
The performance of guru somasundaram was an icing on cake
I felt the the villan was badly written, especially how he is mentally disabled Pearson, which he got from his mother doesn't it give the audience a wrong ideas
Guru somasundaram is a marvellous actor over the years 🔥🔥. He is actually very underrated.
@@joseph5489 Not like that he is a well developed character in the movie
@@pranavtc2196 but why make him mentally disabled, which kind of dose not have anything to do with the story?
*SPOILER ALERT*
@@joseph5489 I don't think the movie established such an idea. It strives in a path where the Villain character's mother is labelled as a "lunatic" by the society, which in turn deeply hurts the Guru's character even as a child, leading to trauma and conduct disorder....eventually to anti-social behaviour. It was never said that he had any kind of inherited mental illness like Bipolar disorder or something.
It was all about how he and his family was treated since day one.
Just finished watching it a hour ago. Loved it. This is the kind of superhero we need with a indian touch to it. The director revealed that he's already working on part 2. Can't wait for it.

Is action great ?
It'll be bigger & better, fingers crossed! Now that the superhero is already a known character! Can get to brass tax straight away

Ya who knows one day minnal murali meets the avengers 😀🙏
Hats off to Mr. Gurusomasundaram for his really emotional performance.. The first time i felt that really the villian had every cause to be what he was..
Just go through his movies . He will amaze you again and again 💯💯. Especially in Aranya kandam .
He is one of the best character actors.
The final super hero costume was just plain bad. Look at the costumes in marvel and look at this pathetic attempt for a costume. Cgi in this movie was so so bad and allmost laughable. The bus scene was just plain bad. It completely threw me off. You Indians need to get better in cgi and effects or get them from Hollywood. This felt so fake.
@@snak3eye547 my friend
We totally understand where u r coming from
Let me also give an additional input to above, the budget for this movie was USD 300000.. Compared to the millions of Dollar spent on Hollywood movies.. In comparison to that.. Yes this is Gold standards
@@snak3eye547 Boss, I think most people heard you the first time. Repetition doesn't really add any strength to your argument.
I feel like Malayalam Cinema is perfect for superhero movies because they have every tool that other industries lack, in one way or another. Such as Storytelling, relatability, realism, acting, writing, layered characters and world building. Even in the most mundane movies have great world building, with respect to whether or not the movie works or not.
But budget is a big issue in malayalam
@@abilashponthen6312 That's true, but they've proven that they can do movies that are big scale on a relatively small budget. Movies like Malik, Kurup, Virus, and even a movie like Charlie. Limitations in Malayalam helps them thrive, in my opinion.
@@santosann6957 they can expand it by releasing their movies in 6-7 languages if it has more audience spending more budget will not be a problem
@@abilashponthen6312 bro we can make good movies for 2-3 crore and complete the shoot in 2 weeks, which other big film industries can't even dream about
budget seems to be the only drawback, but even with a low budget minnal murali was a really good movie
Its soo good to see Indian movies getting more diverse and creative nowadays and not follow the old mundane overdone masala film troup. I think India as a whole is now more excepting of new concepts due to the rise in popularity of OTV platforms like Netflix and Amazon prime and the shows present on those platforms.
Bhai indian netflix ne ak bhi fiction series nhi diya h netflix ko bas political aur crime darma banane se fursat nhi h 😂aji ganta india netflix
@Ribu Ghatan giving over emphasis to hero is cliche
This is almost a satirical hero character
@Ark are you a Monster anime fan ?
@@cR33dful I am, Johan is one of my favourite character of all time
@@Arklust most cold blooded manipulative serial killer Of all time...Love it
What makes Superhero films stand out is the villain character. If the villain is placed brilliantly then the hero and movie itself would be elevted to the next level. And the big plus of Minnal Murali is that there is a strong villain character and his motives has a solid reason which is backed by Guru Somasundarams excellent performance.
the best supervillians are the ones you can empathize with. at some point, you want them to win.
@@bab00n15wouldn't say empathy but more like we might find a reasoning for their erratic behaviour ... Example would be joker ... U wouldn't find empathy but could with his idealogy ... That's why he always stood out

@@snak3eye547 lol dude ... Look at the budget of the Marvel movies and look at this movies budget ... This is a good start .. since now the big production houses know where to invest ...
Malayalam cinema never dissapoints, Bollywood should take lessons. Even with their high budget, they can not come up with something like this. I didnt even notice the "poor" CGI, it was good enough. Story was great, very grounded and convincing, The villain was superb. His arc was so good. That song played in the background when he and Usha were talking nearly had me in tears.
I really wish there could be something like Indian avengers. Way better than a dumb cop universe
Why only Bollywood?
@@shivvenugopalan6027 because their take on such movies is extremely crappy and at best full of masala garbage, lacking any punch. Tbh I want malayali movies to be dubbed and release on all screens in India. They are just too good!

Minnal murali is something which we all should appreciate as it leads to something which grows the level of Indian cinema rather than criticise it with Marvel or DC ..
Minnel Murali is not for those who sit and watch every minute to find a VFX glitch or imperfection. Enjoy this movie as a Super hero comic book. We should appreciate the entire team to make a superhero with such a small budget. So please dont compare it with MARVEL movies. Enjoy !!!
Marvel movies are that - not to find fault but to enjoy comic.
So from what you say we have to compare to Marvel movies.
You think Infinity War and Endgame are story masterpieces with no faults?
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI the DC fanboys comes again
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI nvm you're a kid
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI and why get triggered ? you a fanboy if u get triggered by one sentence
With half the budget hollywood spend creators of minaal can do even better than avenger..
I absolutely loved how in the begining, the hero started using his powers reclessly and for revenge, when the villain/antihero used it for good. The conversation he had with Jaison was something that many superhero films missed. The conversation between them was something fresh. The whole story being set in a remote villaige and in a particular time period was a brilliant move that proved viewrs something fresh instead of the cliche world ending event in a major city. Minnal Murali is a film with heart, humour and nostalgic elements. Waiting for part 2 and 3.
Can't agree more.... Well said!

@@snak3eye547 stick to marvel and DC movies then. If you can't appreciate a genuine effort given by a filmmaker to present something new to the superhero genre in our country, just ignore it.
This movie doesn't have the kind of budget like DC and marvel movies do so keep your comparison level realistic and practical.
@@snak3eye547 If you didn't liked the movie why you are watching these reviews?
This movie got several appreciations from worldwide, so nobody needs your opinion here
It was a great movie overall. From a small industry to make this possible and convincing to the Indian audience is a huge appreciation to the team and at the same time, I really wish a larger production company could support them in the future for better VFX. Great review Jammy!!!
Made with a budget of 18 cr
@DEVVRAT MISHRA Cut short by 30 minutes???..... That would lead to the film losing its emotional core and world building.
Budget of arnd 18 cr
@DEVVRAT MISHRA lol it's wasn't long at all in Malayalam language. It was smooth, hilarious and short to me.
@@rightinyourface5817 2hr 38 min is a perfect time for not only malayalam films, but Indian films. I don't know, if they can see that movies, why can't they watch this?
Guru Somasundaram was absolutely incredible.
And the script made absolutely sure that this is his movie as much as Tovino's.
Being honest, I never expected this movie to be this good. It is in it's core an Indian movie. When we talk about someone making a superhero movie, we imagine trying to "copy" MCU or DCEU etc., which could be either cringy or boring but this movie is a perfect blend of American superhero movie plots and Indian culture which made it more exciting. Though the story is simple; the screenplay and the cinematography are iconic. The villain. My God, the Villain. He is fantastic. His smile sent shivers. Tovino is the perfect choice. This is our version of Shang Chi. Netflix should make a Cinematic Universe out of this.
Besil joseph brilliance.....💥💥 I suggest you to watch his last 2movies. The you clear how this film become this level..... Kunjiramayanam and godha

@@snak3eye547 We donno which country you are from. Yet, I say this. We don't crap on a genuine effort. Budget of this movie is 5% of an average MCU movie. With this little budget, they made some thing epic. What about crafts of the movie other than CGI? Direction, story, screenplay, cinematography, music, fight choreography, character design. sir there are many things here. I see you don't understand all this. I'll get down to your level and ask you. What costume can a tailor working in a village in the 80's in India can make? He can't have a Nano Tech suit right? or some suit with cosmic celestial energy?
@@snak3eye547 Sorry this is still triggerring me. You said "You Indians need to get better in CGI". Did you watch all Indian movies? High budget Indian movies like Bahubali, Robo have stunning CGI. Heck, all dragons CGI from Game of thrones are done in India

Congrats to the makers for such a fantastic effort.I'm a long time 'south Indian artistry admirer'from Lahore.thankful to internet for letting more closer to what I really love.much love to India from a Pakistani house wife.
How nice to know you’re enjoying them !
The fact that Villain had its own origin story made it really worth the movie
both hero and villain writing in such a beautiful manner that the CG didn’t matter as much
Indian Malayalam Film Industry is becoming a Gem lately. Specially, Minnal murali wins the heart💖.. Innocent, Special and Connecting Movie... Proud moment for India...
No industry can make a good film overnight... We have been made many good movies since 70's. This is the reason we malayalis have a good aesthetic sense.This is where Bollywood miserably failed.. Since 90's Bollywood lost its genuineness....

Aaaaaaaaa
Exactly Jotaro, I agree with you.
Marval movie budget 500- 1000cr minnal Murali budget 18cr!!
Also Marvel and DC has decades of comics to choose a plot and characters from.
Highly recommend Basil Joseph's sophomore movie "Godha" with Tovino Thomas and Wamiqa Gabbi (from "Grahan"). An underrated sports movie that went under the radar due to the release of "Dangal" & "Sultan" and the almost similiar themes and nature circling around wrestling but does a great job and hilarious as hell.

Minnal Murali is what Gangs of Wasseypur was to mafia/gangster movies i.e, Indianised and attuned to our sentiments and social mores instead of pretending to be its Western counterparts.
gangs of wassepur was inspired from tamil movie subramaniapuram. anurag told that in an interview
Actually the song named "KITHACHETHUM KAATTE " which was played as a background score when Jaison was hanging on the bus has the same heavy breathing pause in the song tooo 🤣😂

We haven't tapped into the written content because of copyright problems. So they just create original heroes, which is more creative and respectable in my opinion. But yes, seeing the comic book superheroes in live action would be cool.
Thats not the case entirely. Properties can easily be bought by production companies. Dharma with Amish Tripathi books, Daggubati with Amar Chitra katha. It's just about it being executed!

Fun Fact brother, in some interview, Tovino Thomas revealed that he wanted to play Guru Somusundaram's character in the movie, but was convinced was by Basil Joseph (Director) that he will be their in sequels, and will be a permanent character, then only he played Jaison.
I was initially a little afraid due to the continuous flops of great budget anticipated films in Malayalam and now when I see Minnal Murali I can say that the vibe that Malayalam films hold is not gone...and I really wanted this to released in theatres because it had a great scope of attaining a place in box-office and also such a rooted character to indian origin with it's many dubbed versions only increased it's scope....But anyways hoping to see it new investments as u said at least in theatres
Flops are stepping stones for great successes

Because of the writing and the acting and set up, I never really found an issue with the VFX or action sequence. The movie was every thing that I hoped it to be and the antagonist side of it just exceeded my expectations. Amazing background score, great writing and set up and wonderful performances..Jammy atleast you were true to your opinion instead of bashing it like that depressing Suchitra Tyagi.
Tbh the VFX at the ending was mind blowing
Director said that since their budget is low, the vfx is minimum and artwork was utilised maximum.
@Mr DeShaun nothing wrong with vfx. Only they faced budget shortage.
Man her review was pathetic and miserable. She clearly gave up once came to know about the duration of the film
@@theattacktitan9885 I agree she goes gaga over all these Marvel movies and over well made Indian movies bashes it out for each and every thing. According to her each movie and series should have a social and political statement and should be a commentary on the society.
What's special in this movie is they have done it in a budget that is very low and limited for a superhero movie and they have done a great job and deserves a lot of appreciation.I just hope If Marakkar's budget was there for this movie it could have been next level
I really appreciate the fact that the story is not only written for a superhero, the story also focuses on the villain and his origin aswell. The thing is with many superhero films it's somewhat almost rare to see a villain and his origin story right along side the superhero. The other thing is the story takes it's time and doesn't rush into the good stuff, it gives you time to know the character's and how the interact with the people around them prior to getting their powers.
I am a very proud Malayali specially when it's comes to our movies . I too always wanted a good superhero film from my state . When I saw the trailer I was so damn excited I can't explain the happiness I felt. Yess the VFX did lack but other than that for me the movie was perfect. I loved each and every character but Guru Somasundaram stole the show . I couldn't take my eyes of him. He lived the character. I sympathized with the character so much ❤️. I loved the movie I hope we do get to see more amazing superhero movies from our country.
I'm a humble grounded down to earth malayali. 😜 But still so happy for the whole team of Minnal Murali.. ☺️

A very good scene is when both the hero and the villain learns each other's identities in seperate ways at the exact same time. Then the villains test his suspicion out with a plan to see if the hero reacts. Drishyam had something like that too. Loved it.

Budget doesn't matter. Good Characters and screenplay are the key
18 cr
The movie made me laugh, cry and jump in excitement. The last I felt the same for an Indian superhero movie was AB's Ajooba.
Minnal has ticks all the facets, except for one major flaw which never happens in superhero movies is that they don't kill the villian. Since, Basil sort of choreographed it as a symbolic representation of St.George Killing the devil, which the last scene has semblance to.
More than Tovino, I loved the character arc of Guru Somasundaram, man he needs to be as celebrated as FaFa. Overall a brilliant film, very smart investment by Netflix.
Its a great movie. The only miss i felt was the teaser music. There were huge scopes for goosebumps with that BGM. Thats missing.
correct
Me to bro🙂
1000%
Which trailer is it
Actually i think it was good to not use that music in the movie. For the teaser, to bring the hype is ok. But in the movie which carries the hero and villian equally, putting in the music for only the hero will do injustice to the villian. That is why even in the final scenes, the theme music is put, but in a very gentle way.
That was a really solid superhero origin movie. Parallely how the same incident affects both hero and the villan and how both end up as a hero and villan was really nice to watch.
Some comedy sequences were really good.
When Basil Narrated the Script to Tovino for the First time, Tovino insisted to play Guru Somasundaram's Role !!
But When Basil convinced him that Minnal ⚡ Murali will be becoming a Franchise Tovino agreed to do the Role of Minnal ⚡ Murali !!
( Basil Said it'll be hard for him to Cast anyone else for Minnal ⚡ Murali other than Tovino )

Surely it is a pure desi superhero movie who is desi by heart whose actions are desi rooted to his place and so well mixed up with his surrounding.Never felt for a single moment that "oh he is flying like the Superman" "Oh he is controlling everything like that guy" I mean he is original and not a copy although the powers are same.
A shoutout definitely needs to be given to the amazing background score and the music of the movie. Its perfectly synced with the intentions of the characters and reaches the highs and lows with the watching experience. It would've made a greater impact if released in theatres.
Yes Sushin Shyam is ❤
But the climax bgm felt same like Malik. He could have changed it a bit.

He is a real cinema lover who gives importance to other regional films
I liked that the villian was given a great origin story and will love to see a sequel to the movie, maybe in the same village or even in America(no spoiler here). Some might be complaining about the length but I loved it for the same, more time for character build up.
Dear Villain , I don't know your name but you are one of the finest actor I have seen ever. This movie made me you big fan.
The movie also shows that no one is born bad..even the antagonist isn't all bad still something tragic happens to him which I am sure led us also to behave or act same.. so in that way director also tried to tell us that there is goodness in everyone..
2 back to back great movies (Minnal Murali and Kadeesele Briyani) from 2 great industries from India (Malayalam and Tamil) in Netflix has one thing in common- the 'super' villains are great! And the actors, the most underrated great Tamil actor Guru Somasundaram is the villain in the Malayalam movie, and the talented Malayalam actor Hakkim Shah is the villain in the Tamil movie. Is this a mere coincidence or are both industries complimenting each other? I would like to be the latter.
Jammy bro, eagerly waiting for your Kadeesele Briyani review
Love from Malaysia.
Yeah kadeesele biriyani was awesome
The budget of This film is 30cr, remember films like 2.0 are wasting their budget on its star studded cast instead of production and crew. You can clearly see the love poured in the making of Minnal Murali film.
@Dharshan SM yeah bro, I appreciate the 3d attempt but you know what I am saying is, If I'm not wrong Rajini sir's salary was 80cr at the time of 2.0. I wish they poured that money on production it could have become great.
I think its 20cr
Its budget is 20 cr
@@rebel6809 yeah bro 20-30 but not above that range reports vary
Budget is 18 cr
The end scene of the hero killing the bad guy is very similar as how the father's entry act in the play.
Great to point out 💥
It's an allegory of St. George killing the dragon. Basically just victory of good over evil.
Honestly I loved the villan more than the hero Tovino & other actors were brilliant but Guru somasundaram literally stoled the show !!!
I had noticed Guru Somasundaram from the movie '5 Sundarikal' (which is his first Malayalam movie). So when I saw Minnal Murali, I was like, "I've seen him somewhere". Towards the middle of the film I recognized him. Never have I been too happy to recognize an actor from one of his earliest movies😄.
9.5/10 really recommend it. Finally I can say proudly about a indian superhero
In absolute agreement to your last line " Root and cheer for this character in theaters, like in No Way Home " ,An Indian superhero universe is much needed
Malayalam movies makes me feel proud !!! They are breaking all barriers
I really enjoyed this movie because it was not just about the superhero aspect, it was about a perfect balance between that and the protagonist (and antagonist's) day to day life. I find that some superhero movies do get lost in the "superhero-ness" of it all; all the powers and the fancy effects. Which I am not complaining about! It's great to watch and a visual treat, and I suppose that's what they are made for. I just found Minnal Murali a real enjoyable watch because it was not just about the powers and strength; there was storyline above this too. Maybe because it was an origin story, but I really enjoyed the plot. And I did not feel like I was watching a "south indian" film - this was an Indian film, and the fact we get that sense says a lot about how beautifully this movie has come together. I hope this paves the way for more movies like this in the future, from all regions, and in all languages :)
Love your reviews!! Keep up the good work! :)
The very first scene had me, that guy in custome standing in fire was very brilliant shot. Both actors hero and villan have done great job, I am really surprised that they made such a good movie without any propaganda and movie can be watch by everyone.they really did very excellent job. We need sequel now.
It was a very self aware movie, they knew what they are signing for and i love that they did not try to be more than it is, is was light hearted and did not try to be take it self overly serious. There are a small number of movies that can catch your attention just by the small glimpse of their trailer.
With the limited budget they had...they did a fantastic job...yh vfx isn't top class....but it wasn't bad...and also bcz its more practical effects than vfx it doesn't effect the viewing experience..but must say.. this should have released in theatre,
I absolutely loved this movie, the story arc of Guru's character. Especially the uyire song at the house made me feel a lot of emotions.
I'm so glad that it is a good film. Can't wait to watch it. Being a fan of Superhero movie genre, it always excites me when a new superhero film comes out.
See its a desi superhero so don't compare it with marvel and dc ,
Within low budget director Basil did a great job in a superhero film
@@shahadhashafi3439 Ofcourse I won't be comparing it with DC or Marvel. Not every superhero film has to be. I'll judge it for myself and see what it is
I liked how the hero and villain had parallels and how the writing kind of looked into what may be called as a thin line between becoming a hero and a villain, both the villain and the hero had similar circumstances except the setting they were brought up, Jaison had a family setting that nurtured him while shibu had a problamatic childhood, I really wish this movie had more budget to back the writing but also satisfied I wasnt looking too much into the action scenes to gratify me as I could connect with the characters, this happens very rarely with this genre.
For those fools comparing Minnal Murali with Marvel and DC.
Avengers End game made with a whooping budget of 35 crores USD and Minnal Murali with 18 crores.
If it is hard to have some commonsense atleast pretend like having some.
Your pretentions will help the Mollywood industry to grow furthur.
💯
You can't expect better VFX for a 20 cr. I liked the movie overall, villain performance was superb. I read Tovino actually wanted to play villain part.

Minnal murali : lightning 💥⚡
This film was soo good. Best Indian superhero movie. Fresh idea and didn't copy other superheroes. I loved thovino's acting. I am looking forward to see more minnal murali stories
Nowhere near Krrish 3
@@parthagoswami5135
Krrish story was shit
It's total paisa vasool . Perfect acting . Fantastic story and amazing music .
It's a Guru somasundaram show, what i like about the movie is it really shows the path of both Jason & Shibu from the very beginning of the movie, & the main theme of the movie is "Choice" as both of them are put in the same situation & have same power's but what they choose to do is the thing that defines them be it when Jason was about to get arrested or people attacking Shibu one decided to surrender where the other choose to attack & it really broke my heart when Shibu lost the only thing that he ever wanted just moments after getting it i am proud to say we have our own superhero now
Story, action, COMEDY ,ACTING . AWSMMMMMMMM
Came for the hero, stayed for the villain! Such a compelling backstory for the villain and his eventual path down the rabbit hole owing to the people around him... Basil did justice the superhero genre and paid tribute to some of the best known superhero movies with subtle references along the journey. #minnalisheretostay
I am very, Very Picky about movies. I just don't enjoy all of them. I don't watch a lot of Indian movies and i certainly don't watch a lot of Superhero movies from the West. I scroll thought Netflix for like 15 minutes before turning it off and reading a book. But Minnal Murali was something I found scrolling through Netflix a day after it's release. And i decided to give it a shot because I was bored.
And damn me for making that choice, because I loved every second of it. I watched the movie in one sitting and rewatched it again 3 days later.
The film is not without flaws. But the effort is so sincere and genuine that i couldn't help but love it and recommend it to my whole family. And they did watch it because they knew how picky I am, so this movie must have been extra special.
A scene at the climax where a kid takes a look at Superman comic and at Murali and says superhero..... My inner geek felt proud ❤️.
This is how a superhero script should be written. Bollywood should learn afterall
I just loved this film! So honest and so rooted proper indian superhero origin film. Well done the whole team. It's unbelievable that it's made with 25cr just imagine throwing some 100 cr budget the output will be amazing. Way to go Malayalam industry
It's under 20cr bro
What a Movie....🔥⚡😯 Especially the character building and naturality...great script and screenplay ⚡
The screenwriting was so on point, the pace, the buildup everything so fucking good.
Omg.. Shibu's character is love....❤❤❤
When I saw a post by Netflix with Tovino, harshvardhan kapoor and abhimanyu dasani in it, promoting minnal murali, I really thought there would be an end credit scene mentioning surya and bhavesh joshi for a potential crossover but sadly the timeline doesnt match☹️
Oh my... I like the way you think. A pan india superhero universe wld be next level. Just imagine
They could skip timeline to present day. Make it like his body doesn't age much and do a crossover.
These kind of movies does not work at theaters in any other languages .
Having just watched the film, I can say, Minnal Murali is one of the best superhero movies put up this year and I'm not exaggerating. This is a near perfect superhero film in terms of story, screenplay, characters and especially, the villain.
The villain here is simply one of the best I've seen in a long time in Indian commercial cinema. He's a perfect supervillain with great motivation and absolute intimidating presence. I'm not gonna spoil for others but the actor portraying him has done a masterful job. This film should be as recognizable and popular as KGF and Bahubali. Better watch this than Pushpa.
Let's hope we get a sequel.
I will say this once again malayalam movies are the finest in the whole of India
The fact that a Superhero movie set in a village in Kerala, with a titular character named "Minnal Murali" who gets superpowers from a lightning strike and fights a villain named frickin "Shibu" (in other words, a movie with such a ridiculous plot), turned out to be THIS good is one of the biggest miracles ever 😂😂
From watching your stories on Instagram regarding Minnal murali to getting notified that the video is live on the channel. I was curious about the movie becoz of your excitement on the same.. And now after the review there are hopes again that we might have our Indian superhero , people will be ardent for... Hopes are high ❤❤
Seen minnal murali..how is it . 🤔
Watched the movie today and Guru Somasundaram my man... What a performance... I got really emotional for the villain character.... Great superhero movie from our Malayalam film industry.... And as the climax dialogue of the movie, Its only the beginning, Mollywood is going to have its own superhero universe.😍👍
