Mikhael
has
come
up
with
a
lot
of
promising
prosepcts.
Director
Haneef
Adeni
is
teaming
up
with
hit-maker
Nivin
Pauly
for
the
first
time
and
that
too
for
a
film
with
a
mass
thriller
angle
and
that
reason
is
more
than
enough
to
pin
up
good
expectations
on
the
movie.
Has
Mikheal
lived
up
to
those
hype.
Read
Mikhael
review
here
to
get
the
answer.
Plot
The
story
of
Mikhael
surrounds
around
a
character
named
Michael,
who
is
a
doctor
by
profession.
Mikhael
has
a
younger
sister
named
Jenni,
who
lives
with
her
mother
and
stepfather.
The
film
takes
us
through
the
series
of
events
that
affect
their
family.
Script
&
Direction
Haneef
Adeni
is
well-known
for
etching
out
scripts
which
have
emotional,
thrilling
as
well
as
mass
elements
in
the
right
proportions.
Mikhael
also
follows
a
similar
format.
Mikhael
has
a
cliched
story
line
and
theme
of
revenge
and
the
writer
in
him
tries
to
overcome
that
tweaked
in
some
interesting
elements
in
the
screenplay.
However,
the
striking
sequences
like
the
one's
that
he
had
created
in
his
previous
movies
are
missing
here.
But,
he
has
smartly
played
by
coming
up
with
well
placed
punch
dialogues
and
a
tricky
narrative
pattern.
He
maintains
the
stylish
quotient
of
the
film
with
his
packaging
style
and
has
presented
his
protagonist
with
the
deserved
mass
elements,
especially
in
the
second
half
of
the
movie.
The
first
half
of
the
film
is
high
on
emotional
elements
and
there
are
some
moments
of
lethargy
but
he
pulls
the
film
on
the
right
track
with
the
second
half
where
the
tempo
raises.
In
fact,
it
is
in
the
second
half
that
we
get
to
savour
the
exact
gist
of
the
movie.
However,
he
was
only
partially
successful
in
maintaining
the
thrill
factor
throughout
the
film.
Performances
Nivin
Pauly
impresses
with
his
portrayal
of
the
lead
character.
The
mass
portions
of
the
character
were
convincing
in
his
hands
and
he
makes
it
a
point
a
give
lot
of
moments
to
cheer
for
his
fans.
He
has
done
a
good
job
in
the
emotional
sequences
as
well
Unni
Mukundan
looked
astonishin
as
Marco
Jr
and
has
come
up
with
a
fine
performance.
At
the
same
time,
his
character
deserved
more
detailing
and
depth.
Siddique
once
again
proves
why
he
is
one
among
the
best
of
the
actors
around
with
a
stellar
performance.
The
young
gorl
who
did
the
role
of
Jenni
has
come
up
with
a
fine
performance.
The
film
also
features
Manjima
Mohan,
Kalabhavan
Shajohn,
JD
Charaborthy,
Ashokan,
Babu
Antony,
Suraj
Venjaramoodu,
Sudev
Nair
etc.,
in
prominent
roles.
Other
Aspects
Songs
set
to
tune
by
Gopi
Sunder
are
good.
The
BGM
by
him
is
simply
stunning
with
some
of
the
scenes
getting
elevated
to
another
level.
Vishnu
Panicker
has
set
up
some
stylish
frames
that
suit
the
mood
of
the
movie.
Editing
by
Mahesh
Narayanan
is
fine
and
he
tries
to
make
the
film
smooth.
Verdict
Mikhael
is
not
a
flawless
film
but
still
the
film
definitely
qualifies
for
a
decent
watch.
This
one
would
definitely
appeal
you,
especially
if
you
are
a
lover
of
stylishly
crafted
movies
with
a
good
share
share
of
mass,
emotional
and
thrilling
elements.
