Puzhu - Spell binding performances!
14 May 2022
Will this man ever cease to amaze? I don't think so! At 70, this living legend is still finding himself!

Spectacular performance from Mammootty! I hated him so much in this movie which proves how terrific he was in a never before seen avatar as a toxic parent in this quite hard hitting and disturbing slow burn!

A masala of issues have been added into the hot pot which includes toxic parenting, caste issues and more....but it is Mammootty with his spell binding performance that holds us till the end! I feel that the movie has issues on a script level, but it's a must watch for great performances by all, especially Mammootty and Vasudev Sajeesh as his son. Parvathy has done justice to her role as well as Appunni Sasi, who did a great job.

Kudos to debutante Director Ratheena and a big thanks to her for finding and showing us yet another face of Mammootty. His most chilling face ever! He is one brooding scary man here!

Hoping to see more from her and many more new female directors!
