The
Characterization
Of
Stephen
Nedumpilly
Stephen
Nedumpilly
is
unarguably
one
of
the
most
celebrated
characters
played
by
Mohanlal
in
recent
times.
While
most
of
the
complete
actor's
popular
mass
characters
totally
relied
on
over-the-top
lengthy
dialogues,
Stephen
has
minimal
dialogues.
His
thought
process
is
mainly
conveyed
through
brilliantly
portrayed
eye
movements
and
little
mannerisms.
There
is
always
a
mysterious
aura
around
Stephen
Nedumpilly,
which
made
the
character
highly
impactful.
The
Director
Who
Knows
What
He
Wants!
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
has
undoubtedly
proved
that
he
is
a
brilliant
filmmaker
with
directorial
debut
Lucifer.
Even
though
the
story
premise
was
familiar
to
the
audiences,
the
director
clearly
knew
how
to
elevate
the
whole
experience
with
exceptional
making.
According
to
Prithviraj,
he
showcased
Mohanlal,
the
actor-hero
in
the
way
he
loves
to
watch
him
on
screen,
in
Lucifer.
Well,
the
audiences
loved
it
too.
The
Well-Written
Script!
The
content
is,
and
will
always
remain
the
king
when
it
comes
to
filmmaking.
Even
though
there
was
hardly
anything
new
about
the
core
plot,
Murali
Gopy's
well-written
script
made
it
a
thoroughly
entertaining
experience.
Lucifer
doesn't
totally
rely
on
its
lead
actor
and
hero-worship.
Instead,
the
movie
had
some
well-written
supporting
characters
that
got
great
space
in
the
narrative
and
neatly
placed
entertainment
factors.
The
Brilliant
Technical
Aspects
Each
and
every
aspect
on
the
technical
side,
from
sound,
editing,
VFX,
and
so
on
were
wisely
utilized
in
Lucifer.
For
example,
this
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
directorial
has
not
gone
behind
the
extra-loud
background
music
and
overdose
of
VFX
like
most
of
the
mass
entertainers
that
were
made
in
our
industry
earlier.
All
aspects
were
used
in
the
perfect
ratio,
which
made
Lucifer a
totally
enjoyable
watch.
Brilliant
Marketing
Stragegy
Lucifer
unarguably
pushed
all
the
commercial
and
marketing
boundaries
of
the
Malayalam
cinema
that
existed
till
then.
The
movie
was
brilliantly
marketed
through
social
media,
which
helped
it
reach
more
and
more
audiences.
The
little
ideas,
like
the
decision
to
release
a
character
poster
every
day
before
a
month
of
the
release,
has
totally
helped
in
building
a
huge
pre-release
hype
around
the
project.
