    Watch it only for some great scenes between Mohanlal, Murali and Geetha
    Lal Salam is a very haphazardly directed movie. The first half is extremely drawn out and boring, with fervent and unnecessary flashbacks. The movie picks up pace only after the characters' hairs start graying out. It then becomes a treat to watch, with some terrific dialogue scenes, with Mohanlal especially standing out. He pretty much owns the movie. And then you cannot help but feel disappointed, with such a contrived ending. A movie with great potential is dragged down by bad direction and an overall bad plot line (of course excluding the great parts in the second half). I'd still rewatch it for those few classic scenes though.
