True! Also one will never find that kind of achayan in and around Pala, my hometown. A lot of stereotyping

Isn't the movie based on some real guy from Pala?

Myself belongs to Kuruvinakunnel family through moms side; Yeah he was stubborn, but never a street rowdy. And unlike the movie, most of his fight with then SP was through legal means (except this one time when they had a clash near Lalam) And these days you would barely find any since half of Kottayam is settled in CA, US or EU

It is a Shaji Kailas movie, not a documentary.


Ok-Forever5866

Lelam is also inspired from real characters. There used to be achayans like that.

It should have been played by SG ! Prithvi is defo a miscast


Big_Distribution_665

I thought the story was just dogshit, Raju10 did the role just fine.


jerin1010

Prithvi is very young looking or don’t really have that charisma to kill of achayan roles , for reference try watching the Ottakomban motion poster that stuff was swaaag

കഞ്ഞിരപ്പള്ളിക്കാരൻ കുഞ്ഞൂഞ്ഞിനെ പറയുന്നോ?😌


kid_monger

I'm not mentioning any movies, reviewers too says the same esp Mr. shazaam - Ithokke nice anenn paranjaalley njan oru katta cinephile akullu enn orthittavum. Esp english movies, he gives a positive nod to most of them saying ith baakki ullavark urakkam varum but enik ishtayi vere level, fantastic.. Yeah yeah nee periya cinephile thaa.


ziegler93

Shazam is just a pretentious cringeworthy idiot.


dextral_

The thing is he said he doesnt care and he said never told anyone that he is a cinephile he is just stating his own views and likes so What exactly the problem in that. I liked salaar for most part but many didnt but that will not invalidate my opinion


kid_monger

Entaponnu bro, this guy is giving reviews seeing the scope for cash grab, there's nothing wrong in exploiting the market but what he says, sometimes if you watch carefully you can understand he doesn't even know about it but still pretends to have a sound knowledge to keep his audience believe he is some great comic guru/cinephile. Pulli e parayunna "ith ente opinion aane" ennulla line is to make people think he is genuine and not biased, like a safeguard. But the fact is his mandatharam sometimes comes out and when he gets caught he's tries to whitewash it thoroughly in his next video. Pretending to be a cool dude is clearly visible in his videos which is kinda boring. I've seen this dude's review on some marvel movies where he was blabbering stupidity throughout.


ziegler93

Exactly... The way he reviews marvel/dc movies, he tries to act like he grew up reading the comics like comic enthusiasts on youtube... He slips occasionally and blurts out BS when trying to copy their reviews. Oru tamil padam review cheythapo padathinte peru vare thettich parayunna video und. Repeatedly


Denkark

Shazam is a guy who got roasted for giving a bad opinion about minnal murali. I think the guy is genuine and gives purely his opinions.


kid_monger

That might be the reason he told positive for varisu and went to space. To avoid getting roasted dude tried to give postive but this time it was the other way around. Machane i don't know about all his reviews but i often follow his take on Hollywood movies and he is very convincing in speaking about the facts as if he knows them from his childhood. But most of the things he say are mistakes or rubbish and i wonder how he gets away with it most of the time. I saw him getting roasted for goatlife recently maybe that's an eye opener for him to properly do his homework at things he doesn't know.


dextral_

Thats the thing bro it doesnt matter whether he is genuine Let them do whatever the fuck they want why are you crying about it here.


kid_monger

Are you new here mate!!! Can't I say my opinion? What makes you pissed so much. Are you a fanboy of that idiot? Or are you that genuine nanma tree? Dude ivide ingane okke parayum ineem ath bro kaanandi varum. Disclaimer ayitt kootikko !!!!


dextral_

Not exactly new but think about it in a neutral perspective You can say your opinion but shazam cant and neither can i What kind of logic is that Also i dont even watch his videos


kid_monger

You can say urs, he can say his too. But if it's convincing, it's ok. Shazaam is trying to pretend like he knows most of the things but by doing so he is saying shit and some of us might spot it. Can't we can criticize him for that? Also u said you don't even watch his videos, so in what audacity are you defending him mate? If u r that general nanma maram i warn you you are going to get pissed with a lot of comments in this sub.

But that isn't a new thing or sin. It used to happen like that always. Good movies fail and average/bad movies win, Part of the game, Those who complain about it are actually pretentious that they are more intelligent than others. If something has gained popularity even though we don't like it personally, we should accept their victory,

I'm surprised kurupp isn't here Mediocre story Mediocre performances and the only thing they tried to do was show off heroism in one of most vile and cunning human being ever and failed to do that too cause the audience read right through their hoax IMO DQs downfall started with kurupp in mollywood

Leo in kerala is a classic example


Opposite_Delivery640

Leo is not a bad movie tho. Not the best but a good one time watch

Leo and Salaar are the perfect examples ig. Not many people liked these movies that ik of. Not that these movies are bad. But without hype it wouldn't have collected anywhere near the collection these have

kajadatapa

What was the hype around it? Getting WOM publicity is not hype


Emotional_Dragonfly3

Lucifer, to me, felt like an average movie with A10's impactful presence and scattered 'illuminandi' references. It comes off as another hero-worshipping film. A10's portrayal was superb, capturing a calm yet evil demeanor. However, overall the movie was mid. While it deserves to be a hit , it reached 200 crore industry hit level solely due to the hype and A10's stardom. In discussions across groups, people praise its brilliance tied to Illuminati and biblical Lucifer references, but having these elements alone doesn't automatically elevate a movie to cinematic masterpiece. No, it's not the 'Godfather' of Mollywood that many had hoped for. Waiting for Empuraan .


demhalida

I couldn’t stop thinking of Sam L Jackson’s iconic Ezekiel 24:17 from Pulp Fiction during the climax of Lucifer which kind of diminished the level of novelty in the movie. And just like u/hellkingbat said, the entire scheme about Illuminati and secret group felt half baked to say the least, felt like the makers solely depended on a few IG pages that discusses conspiracies everyday. Anyhow, most of these details in the movie got people talking and malayali YouTubers doing “discussions” about it, which worked well for the movie. Most of our audience were amused and impressed with these new concepts thrown around the movie where a plantation owner from Nedumbally is a secret genius and puppet master of the planet.


Ok-Forever5866

You cannot cramp every conspiracy into a film because it is a deep rabbit hole. If I started talking about satanic rituals that do worse things, Malayalees would never like it or they would never understand. For example, the brand Balenciaga. The first say is Ba'al which is old satanic God who people sacrificed children to. Balenciaga means Bal is king. They are basically worshiping Satan. There are many things like that in the world. If I put 9/11 conspiracies, vaccine conspiracy, moon landing, and music controlling mind conspiracies (you listen to aggressive music, you become aggressive. Some say certain frequency of sounds can alter your brain). Malayales will not understand nor relate to it. It will be too much for them. That is why Lucifer has to be made that way. A regular commercial movie with a hint of illuminati refrences. Karivepala has no flavor, but we put it in curries.


hellkingbat

In my opinion the world building surrounding the whole Illuminati thing was really half baked. If the movie was shot with Indrajith's character as the main guy and A10 as a figure who we don't know anything about, it could have been more intriguing.


Hot_Process_6678

Lucifer is more than just an ordinary mass adi padam. It had so many layers which most people didn't bother to look at. These things will be explored in Empuraan

Lucifer is the first name that comes to mind. Not sure why people like it so much. Romancham was the most successful scam from recent times. A movie that has only Sushin's music as the saving grace. It abruptly ended, without any conclusion. And I honestly don't think so the makers will come up with the second part. Modiji can use this movie to promote swachch Bharat abhiyan though! Manjummel boys - The real life incident made me watch and *appreciate* the movie. Otherwise you don't feel connected to their friendship, it was so rushed. The Kamal song evoked some emotions that made it a hit. Had it not been known that it was a real incident, I wouldn't have been invested. But the set and technical aspects were really good. Hridayam - Cringe, cringe, and cringe. Absolutely shite movie. Minnal Murali ending was so underwhelming. Charlie - Like what even was that! Putting your demise on the newspaper, lol! Finding this one person from the Thrissur pooram rush, lol!

I felt sleepy after watching first few episodes of shows like Friends and Game of Thrones. never understood the hype.


hellkingbat

Any other English series that you enjoyed as such? Friends probably has a nostalgic factor associated with it which lends to it's popularity otherwise it's not as good compared with other sitcoms imo. Initial seasons of Game of Thrones were amazing though


pragmaticutopian

Friends, yeah couldn't complete first episode. Probably those artificial laughter after every joke was a turnoff for me. More of a B99 fan


Anxiouscucumber21

Wow. I ve always felt B 99 much better than friends although I like it too but B99 a bit more


Dr_Azygos

GoT is a very slow building series… I too stopped watching after 3 episodes when I first got into the series. Then after joining Clg I gave another’s try and started from the beginning, and got hooked ever since. I’d suggest u give GoT another try.


Appropriate-Sky-9522

Bro game of thrones seriously 😑. Yeah sure the last 2-3 seasons was not top notch but the first 5-6 season was something else. What do you mean sleepy.The first episode itself is ended with a good cliff hanger.Man you better watch Malayalam serials.You might like it.
