'100 days of Pulimurugan : 8 Kerala Box Office records set by Mohanlal's.
Bala, Vinu Mohan, Kishore, Makarand Deshpande, Siddique and a few more names are there in the star cast. 'Review: Drishyam is Mohanlal's film' 20 December 2013 at the Wayback Machine. Suraj Venjaramoodu sort of repeats his Pokkiri Raja performance. Jagapati Babu’s inclusion in the movie as Daddy Girija would definitely help the movie in its Telugu release. Kamalini Mukherji was a good choice to play Myna and she portrays the role with the kind of dominance required. His onscreen charm and the ability to pull off stunts were utilized effectively by Vysakh. The stunts featuring many foreign actors also looks okay on screen and the fact that Mohanlal himself has done (quite evident from the visuals) most of those shots adds a kind of spice to the enjoyment factor of this mass masala entertainer.Īs I already mentioned, Mohanlal has given the movie what it demanded from him. The visual effects works are somewhat convincing looking at the modest budget our industry can afford. The music and background score from Gopi Sunder serves the purpose. You get to see the beauty of the forest through Shaji’s lenses and they have also captured the fight sequences in a fair enough way. The overall production design and the way some sequences are captured gives some areas of the story a grand appeal which we expect in a movie of this scale and the success of the director is in those parts. The misogynistic comedies built around that character played by Namitha, the plot that forgets the tiger factor after a point and many other predictable phases that happen in the story makes the script a clichéd one. Except for the fact that Vysakh decided to use a bigger budget, there isn’t much of a style change in his way of approaching films. You get to see hero worshipping and over the top fight sequences at regular intervals of time. The making style of Pulimurugan is largely like a Telugu pot boiler.
