Lokpal,
directed
by
Joshiey
and
starring
Mohanlal,
Kavya
Madhavan
and
Manoj
K
Jayan
in
the
lead
is
a
political
action
thriller.
This
is
Mohanlal's
first
film
to
be
released
this
year,
and
the
superstar
doesn't
let
his
fans
down.
Mohanlal
in
various
get
ups
is
the
USP
of
the
film.
Cinematography
by
Pradeep
Nair
is
praiseworthy
as
the
camera
takes
many
angle
and
closeups.
Dialogues
could
have
been
more
effective
considering
that
it's
a
thriller
with
superstar
Mohanlal
in
the
lead.
Script
by
SN
Swamy
is
good,
but
could
have
been
more
hard
hitting.
Music
by
Tatheesh
Vega
is
average.
Another
'minus'
in
Lokpal
is
that
the
film
lacks
humour
and
that
adds
to
the
lack
lustre
of
the
movie.
The
climax
is
not
enticing
enough
and
leaving
you
with
a
feeling
that
it
could
have
been
better.
Story
Lokpal
narrates
the
story
of
a
man
who
fights
against
corruption
in
the
society.
Mohanlal
(Nandagopal)
runs
Nadoos
foodcourt,
popular
for
its
excellent
cuisine.
However,
apart
from
running
a
foodcourt,
Nandu
runs
a
secret
tirade
against
smugglers
and
tax
evaders.
The
different
ways
that
he
adopts
to
fight
the
smugglers
form
the
highlight
of
the
film.
Performances
Mohanlal
is
undoubtedly
the
'star
of
the
show'
and
steals
the
cake.
He
performs
his
role
with
utmost
ease
and
conviction.
Kavya
Madhavan
is
pretty
as
usual
and
fits
her
role
brilliantly.
Manoj
K
Jayan
sleepwalks
through
the
movie.
Saikumar
and
Shami
Thilakan
have
done
a
commendable
role.
Meera
Nandan
has
nothing
substantial
to
do
in
the
movie.
Verdict
Lokpal
is
worth
a
one-time
watch
-
and
that
too
only
because
of
Mohanlal.
