Aaraattu

Mohanlal, of late has lost his talent to detect good scripts. The film Aaarattu although set up on a generic Indian masala action flick, it lacks its serious tone midway with dialogue sand references to the star's previous films.

The references keep on going to an extent that it turns irritating.

Mohanlal may have shed his sloth like acting and reclaimed his energy post "Marakkar" and " Big Brother", but the script is garbage.

For a man who penned "Cid Moosa" "Runway" "Twenty Twenty", this is rock bottom. Udayakrishna seems incapable of bringing in quality to his scripts post his break with Sibi K Thomas who also isn't doing well. Pulimurugan, Masterpiece, Aarattu.. Udayakrishna needs to reevaluate his thoughts and ego.

With all the film references, jokes that doesn't hit anywhere and a lead full of energy with nowhereto go, this is Mohanlal's version of "Shylock" This film is barely watchable thanks to Mohanlal and Siddique. The action sequences were well choreographed although it suffers from excessive anti gravity. Rest is pathetic.

Rahul Raj's BGM felt good initially, but listening on loop made it unbearable.

Maybe a good watch for Mohanlal fans.

Avoidable for movie lovers.
