Mamangam...

Mamangam,  the "all time big budget" in Malayalam, unwittingly run out of steam and is more like a documentary..

  Those who go to cinema bells on  expecting an action packed movie will be disappointed to see a 90% dialogue packed one..

  Mammootty, a class act , through the decades with his versatile roles, just lacks the agility  for a die hard warrior.. undoubtedly a big ask on the legend at his age..

  Much proclaimed his feminine character and the dance sequence never appealing..He deserves a better treatment..

  Fight scenes didn't cause a stir as it  lacks timing and acting is  evident.. Pathetically, those flying scenes reminds you of 'sakthi man' as some still photographs flying than a power packed warrior jump...A big credibility gap.

  Of course, those warrior sending scenes, unnimukundan, the kid, siddique, songs etc. get you some consolation..

  Audience raise eyebrows as to why in the last scene- the all out fight- hero took a back stage waiting to carry the dead bodies to a safe destination than the live ones..The difference between the win and lose was only a brave warrior-mammootty..Still he absconded...May  be to make a square deal with historical events...A tragedy.. A tragedy by all means..

   Neverthless, Film maker's earnest effort to send a mesage across that of 'non violence' is worth applaudable..
