Odiyan Movie Review: LIVE Updates Of The Much Awaited Movie Of Mohanlal!
  • Odiyan is all set to weave the magic within a few minutes of time. In many of the centres, the first show began at 4:30 AM in the morning and in other centres, the show is set to begin at 6 AM.
  • The theatre atmosphere is electrific with the fans gearing up to give a grand welcome to the much awaited movie. Not often we get to see early morning shows like these and Odiyan is here to create some new history. Waiting for the magic to unceil on big screen.
  • The wait has come to an end and the show has just begun.
  • A decent first half that has its own set of moments to offer with our own Mohanlal in top form. The intro sequence is a blend of class and mass, which is sure to give goose bumps to all. The action sequences are top notch and Mohanlal does those in his own amazing style. Much like Mohanlal, Prakash Raj and Manju Warrier too score heavily with their acts as Raavunni and Prabha respectively. However, there are hiccups in the narrative that pull down the film at portions. Slow paced at parts but still the film manages to keep the interest in tact so far and the first half has ended in an interesting way leaving the audiences eager to know more about the second half.
  • Let's wait and see how the second half would turn out to be it.
  • Well, the expectations were indeed higher on the second half of the film. But it has to be said the latter half doesn't rise above the initial half. Too many predicatble elements. However, the emotional elements have worked out pretty well with the actors in top form and hence, creating a connect with the audiences. Climax action sequences does keep the audiences engaged but not up to the hype.
