Rating:
3.0/5
Director Rosshan Andrrews, who has earlier directed award winning films like Notebook, Udayananu Tharam and few more, has now teamed up with talented young actors like Prithviraj, Rahman and Jayasurya for his latest directorial venture Mumbai Police. When compared to his previous movies, one can not deny the fact that he has taken this film one step ahead. The power packed story coupled with brilliant performances by lead actors will definitely impress the Malayalam viewers.

Mumbai Police is a crime suspense thriller, which is engaging with enriched visuals and Prithviraj-Rahman-Jayasurya's electrifying performances are the main highlight in the movie. Rosshan's engaging screenplay and thought-provoking dialogues, Gopi Sunder's music and background score, G Diwakar's fantastic camera work are the other attractions of the movie. The director has implemented advanced technology in the film.

Rosshan Andrrews has chosen a unique story of friendship among three police officers, which has been written by Bobby Sanjay. The movie is all about how these young police officers investigate a case, which causes a nightmare to the mafia and the underworld of Kochi city. It is not an ordinary police story and the director's arresting screenplay makes you sit on the edge of your seat and watch the film.

Mumbai Police has a novel concept, which appeals to the new generation. It has a gripping and engaging narration, which keeps the audience glued to screens till the end of the movie. The are some most unpredictable moments, which are sure to take the viewers by surprise. The realistic approach is the biggest asset in the script.

Although Rosshan Andrrews has tried his best to make it fast-paced, the film ends up in parts. This is mainly due to his detailing of every aspect. He has tried to give an authentic look to movie, which lands him in trouble. If he had taken care of it, the movie could have been much better.
