8 on 10 for this movie . It is technically sound flick with a script heavily inspired by The Godfather of old. Mamootty carries this flick through and through. Everyone does a good job in their respective roles but mamooty is unmatched in every scene he is in. There are a few negatives. The 2nd half of the movie takes a cliche route of mostly every Amal Neerad movie since Big B where a character is killed off. The Songs too aren't as good as his previous movies. Unnecessary sex scenes in a song just to tick a box is also visible. Besides this issues , Bheeshma Parvam is a good movie which everyone ought to enjoy in theatres. 8 on 10.

Naradan is a masterpiece. I can't understand all the fake reviews this movie is getting. Best movie of 2022 hands down. A thriller which keeps you on the edge. Tovino after a long time has showcased his acting prowess here. After Mayanadhi, this is his best film. The entire cast of characters has done a wonderful job. This movie gives the term "Picture Perfect" a new meaning. 9.5 on 10.

I see a lot of 4 stars and 5 stars for this movie but honestly its average. The movie takes a long time to get to the point. It has serious pacing issues in the middle which the moviemakers try to cover up using past paced music and comedy but to me it is very evident. The story isn't the best with the outcome very obvious from a mile away. I really felt, the hero and the villain should've been reversed. The villains just suffers too much trauma. Mother dies, people outcasts him, poor, heartbreak and to top it off,hereditary mental instability in the face of all these heinous injustice towards him. The hero has it very easy, his father dies when very young but was always loved in the family and has people who support him, who show him more than enough warmth. Yes, he undergoes heartbreak too but it isn't taken as seriously by the filmmakers since they take the comedic route in its presentation. The movie would've been so much better had Jaison been the villain with him so arrogant and ignorant to everything people do to support him and he focuses on the minor problems of life while Shiba overcomes every obstacle and earns the support and grace of villagers and maybe earn new friends and family over the course of the movie. This would've been a compelling narrative in my opinion. With all that said, this movie is 2/5 stars for me, not because it's bad but because it's average. It was the first ever superhero movie in malayalam and you know what they say "Everyone remembers their first time". This is one I would like to forget. It could've been so much more. Also the cliché route of a dastardly shabby looking villain and a handsome but naive hero is just not a plus in my book. Like this is the creation of a new superhero, so why play with clichés .

Its a bad movie!! Period!!
