Performances
The main highlisht of the film is none other than Mohanlal himself. He has done variety of roles in a single film right from a rap singer to an ordinary man. He just rocks. He looks cool and impressive in his salt and pepper look. Siddique too has given a decent performance. Mia looks good and has performed neatly. Dev Gill as the villain is just ok. The rest of the cast like Vijay Babu, Vijayakumar, Saikumar, P Balachandran, Pallavi Chandran and others have given a decent performance.

Technical Aspects
Cinematography by Satheesh Kurup is impressive and catchy at times. Songs are good but, felt it was an intrudence inside the film. BGM by Gopi Sunder was good at places while, it took away the mood at places. B Unnikrishnan, as the director of the film , has tried to use the best of Mohanlal and has succeeded in it but, it did not reach the expected level like the previous outings.

Verdict
If you are a Mohanlal fan too, you might feel that the movie could have been better. It is more like a half baked movie with some flaws here and there. Do not expect much from this Mr Fraud.
