Pullikaran Staraa- "Worth A Watch For A Whole-Hearted Performance From Megastar"
Rating - 3/5

____
Director Shyam Dhar who debuted with the Prithviraj starrer crime-thriller "7th Day' has come up with a totally different film this time,a simple-feel good movie that's a mixed bag of interesting and lackluster sequences.There is an earnest effort to present an intriguing light-hearted comic-drama,but the final result is just a strictly average film that's saved upto an extent by a dedicated performance from Megastar Mammootty.


The first half of the film is really engaging with an array of light-hearted comic sequences that ensures that the audience isn't bored for any second in the narrative.The backbone of the film is without doubt the enchanting chemistry between Mammootty,Hareesh Perumanna,Innocent and Dileesh Pothen who have come up with noteworthy performances that saves the movie particularly in the second half.


It is with the onset of the second half that Shyam Dhar lost his grip in the narrative with the story getting choked with inconsequential sequences that at times turned unintentionally funny like the totally superflous accident sequence,a bollywood music-album kind of preachy sequence and two easily avoidable song numbers that does not make any sense whatsoever.The second half was for the most part aimless and no way near the first half as far as entertainment value is concerned .


The screenplay by Ratheesh Ravi doesn't care much to make the narrative convincing and instead take interest in inclusion of an array of feel-good sequences that does entertain in bits and parts but isn't really engaging when counted as a movie altogether.There is abundance of double meaning dialogues which could have been reduced for suiting the sensibilities of kids and family audience.The romantic track in the movie was handled convincingly.


The highlight of the movie is without doubt a top-notch act by Mammootty who gave a memorable performance as educational trainer Rajakumaran.Deepti Sati and Asha Sharath were good.Hareesh Perumanna was a delight to watch with his witty one-liners.Innocent,Dileesh Pothen etc gave good support.


Songs by M.Jayachandran were good,but didn't make much impact rather than increasing the length of the narrative.The pick among the songs was "Mathalathenalarale rendered beautifully by Vijay Yesudas.The frames by Vinod Ilampally were colorful and a treat for the eyes.Editing part was handled well by Ranjan Abraham.


Overall,Pullikkaran Stara is a passable feel-good entertainer that's worth a watch for a brilliant performance from Megastar Mammootty.
