Shylock (Mamootty) and Sachiettan (Mohanlal) have come to Amazon Prime this Friday. I wouldn’t have enjoyed them in a theatre, but on Prime with enough breaks & other home distractions, in the comfort of my couch they seem watchable in spite of the overwhelming violence, over the top stunts and fan frenzy in the scripts.
Nevertheless, the two leading actors in Malayalam stand out proving they can act any role given to them. The body langugae of these two men, Mammooty’s gesticulations during the song in a dance bar, and Lal as this very shy guy who shrinks away from crowds, done well. Come to think of it, the two films have a similarity apart from being a fan film. What fails in these films is the slapstick comedy, and of course the script.
Vineeth dubbing for Arbaaz Khan in Big Brother doesn’t have the effect he had being Vivek Oberoi’s Bobby in Lucifer.
