Mammootty is on a roll, as right now, he is just looking to secure his legacy by acting in several movies that will explore his acting prowess while he can. Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam, Kannur Squad, Kaathal: The Core, Brahmayugam, Abraham Ozler, Rorschach, and Puzhu—these films are some of the finest movies of this septuagenarian who still has the vigor to deliver better films and roles in the coming years. Turbo, on the other hand, is a typical commercial entertainer that only focuses on Mammootty as the savior figure who comes forward to help the people he loves. Directed by Vysakh, this is his third outing with the megastar.

Turbo Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Mammootty, Raj B. Shetty, Sunil, Anjana Jayaprakash, Shabareesh Varma, Bindu Panikkar, Dileesh Pothan
Director: Vysakh
Turbo Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
What’s Good: The fight choreography and visuals, especially with Mammootty, are genuinely electrifying. Mammootty‘s precision and stylish delivery of knockout punches make every fight sequence a thrilling spectacle! The Hollywood pop culture references, like Turbo Jose’s mother mourning Tony Stark’s death or a local don channeling Vito Corleone with a similar mustache, clothing, and demeanor, add fun and nostalgia to the movie.
What’s Bad: The movie had a few plot holes towards the end and lacked iconic music. Although the soundtrack was good and served its purpose, it had no standout tracks that left a lasting impression. In some scenes, a turbo spooling noise and horn sound are used as background sounds for Mammootty’s character before he appears.

Malayalam cinema, the film industry of Kerala, has been witnessing a remarkable resurgence in the past decade, with a new generation of filmmakers and actors bringing fresh and innovative themes, styles, and techniques to the screen. The new wave of Malayalam cinema, also known as the new generation cinema, has been praised for its realistic, rooted, and diverse narratives that explore various aspects of Malayali life and culture. The new generation films have also challenged the conventional norms of mainstream entertainment, such as the superstar system, the formulaic plots, and the stereotypical characters.
One of the prominent figures of the new generation cinema is Midhun Manuel Thomas, who is not only a director but also a prolific screenwriter who collaborates with multiple directors for his writing projects.
Midhun Manuel Thomas began his career in 2014 as the scriptwriter of the romantic comedy film Ohm Shanthi Oshaana1, which was a critical and commercial success.

OpinionThe box office fate of the last few films written by Udaykrishna has more than made it clear that the audience is no longer tickled pink by such regressive, formulaic narratives.Even as a one-liner, Christopher, directed by B Unnikrishnan and written by Udaykrishna, sounds like a fan service superstar vehicle. Mammootty plays a vigilante cop who shoots down rapists in encounters. Considering that writer Udaykrishna (and director B Unnikrishnan) has only crafted hypermasculine narratives featuring men playing the proverbial saviour to women, the execution of the film was on predictable lines – long and mid shots of the stoic hero strutting around the screen in slow-mo, women desperately looking up to him, one-dimensional antagonists, and other shenanigans to glorify the fan vehicle. As usual, despite there being four women actively occupying screen space, they were reduced to mere props. That includes Sneha who plays Home Secretary, Aishwarya Lakshmy as an investigative lawyer,...

Monster, Mohanlal’s new film written by Udaykrishna and directed by Vysakh, comes with many problems. Four days before the film released, there were reports of a ban in Gulf countries because it has Lgbtqia+ content. The filmmakers had however not given an official statement confirming or denying it. Perhaps it is because the Lgbtqia+ content comes out only towards the end of the film, forming its climax and the answer to the crime the film has been trying to solve. Even if you brush aside the poor scripting and filmmaking and annoying characterisations until then, you have to call out the brash,...

Mollywood Mammootty gives his hundred percent and makes ‘Madhura Raja’ look lot better than what it is. Fahir MaithuttyYouTube screenshotUnlike Mammootty's other action blockbusters in 2000s like Rajamanikyam or Big B, Pokkiri Raja never had novelty in the sketch of its lead character. Raja and his story were already a rehash of his other characters from the past, so when a sequel to Pokkiri Raja was announced, it came as a surprise. Perhaps one aspect that stood out in Pokkiri Raja was how it still gave space to Prithviraj Sukumaran in a Mammootty movie, allowing him to have a blast in the first half, before Mammootty arrived at the interval. Despite being slightly loud, Suraj Venjaramoodu's Idivettu Sugunan also raised few laughs in the movie. When you come to the sequel Madhura Raja, you already miss these two factors.
