Malayalam movie Kandahar Review and Initial reports

Mohanlal in Kandahar
Our God's own Superstar Mohanlal's latest film Kandahar has released two days ago and to be frank, this film has fell well short of it's expectation. As per the theater reports, this new Mohanlal starer will surely end up as a loser at the Kerala Box office for this Christmas season.

There are a lot of drawbacks related with this film. According to Major Ravi, his new Malayalam film Kandahar is all about family relationships of the military people and then arises the main question that why did he named his film Kandahar, which will give the impression that it is all about the mission to rescue the hijacked plane at Kandahar.

I would also like to ask him, why did he used his iconic character of Major Mahadevan in this film, that has nothing to perform at all. Even, the character potrayed by KPAC Lalitha is much more notable one than the lead role by our Mohanlal. I felt it that our Mohanlal has done just an extended cameo in this film, just like in the films like Janakan etc.

Also, what was there in special for that role enacted by BigB of Indian Cinema, Amitabh Bachchan? It was just an ordinary role when compared with the high standards of our BigB. I also felt, the actual hero of this film, Ganesh Venkatraman was not fit for his role, which was underperformed by him. Major Ravi in his brief role was good to watch and the most disappointing fact is that all the female leads in this film has nothing to do at all.

Another doubt that comes in my way is that why did Maxlaab promoted this film in such a manner, giving hope to the Malayalam film viewers that this film might just be like the previous films from the Mohanlal-Major Ravi combo, Keerthichakra and Kurukshetra. No one can blame the viewers for expecting this new film to be an high voltage action drama, since the promos and trailers presented it in such a manner.

Finally, I would appreciate Major Ravi for his vision to make a military film that deals more about the emotional part of a military man than the usual patriotic heroisms done by our army heroes. But the script let down the film in that aspect too and as a result, this new film, Kandahar ended up as an overall disappointment to the viewers.

A film like this was not expected from the historic banner owned by our own lalettan, Pranavam Arts International, which had made a lot of memorable films in the past. All in all, this new Mohanlal starer, Kandahar, will be a film, that everyone will like to forget as soon as possible..

Dear Laletta, hoping for better films in the future..........

  6. PLEASE READ IT FULLY-APPEAL BY A HAPLEES FAN
    You people(FANS) are spoiling mohanlal big time.Speak out against movie which are indeed duds rather than praising them.maybe am a bigger fan of him than you all.i was the president of the all kerala mohanlal fans cultural and welfare association (cochin unit).but the unit o longer holds existence.
    the main thing i need you people who love mohanlal to understand is that just turn back and see how we started to love mohanlal as an actor.It was not because of the movie kandahar,or oru naal varum or maybe not because of his almost 70 percent movies released in the last decade.its because we have watched him act his heart out while growing up.some of the immortal evergreen classics that we have been fortunate enough to watch.yeah indeed after 2005,there are a few..it would be really bad not to take note of Rasathanthram,Kirtichakra,Vadakkumnathan,Chotta Mumbai,Hallo and madambi.but the chunk of movies released during this period baring the above said ones have been big duds at the box-office and have failed to steal the hearts of those who love the actor in MOHANLAl.We should take note the fact that its mohanlal who is the actor with themost versatile acting talent among the lead actors here in malayalam.by saying that am not degrading another great contemporary acor MAMMOTY..but mammootty seriously has his limtations but mohanlal clearly scores above in some subtle and effortless acting prowess in most of the sequences be it hasyam,nritham,wit(not slapstick comedy),in addition to his other varied acting skills.
    But then why should he show..errr... i mean waste his talent acting in some half baked,crass ,and over the top movies where script holds no importance.Its high time he stops acting in such crap movies because he is already into a age group where his physical and mental stamina demands good selection of roles.and for that reason a big thumbs up should be given to mammotty for the selection of his roles be it pranchi or best actor this year for he understands the pulse of the audience and acts henceforth.maybe laletan is unlucky that he gets to act in movies with poor scripts most of the time..ITS JUST THE SIMPLE FACT..READ THE SCRIPT BEFORE COMMITING TO A MOVIE.it can be a new or an established director,but the script is the true superstar.I REPEAT NOT THE STORYBOARD WHICH LAL ALWYZ TENDS TO READ,BUT THE SCRIPT WHICH HE SHOULD compulsarily READ.Am sure most of the fans out here would unwillingly agree with my thought,but the ego in you is not allowing you to speak out,fearing it is bad for the image of our lalettan.But i assure you it is not.It will help him grow out of the shackles he is in now.Kandahar IS JUST A BELOW AVERAGE MOVIE..POOR MOVIE WITH A VERY WEAK SCRIPT..EXCEPT LAL, KPAC LALITHA AND MAJOR RAVI ALL OTHERS VERY BELOW PAR MEDIOCRE ACTING INCLUDING BIG B..AND MY VERDICT..THE VERDICT OF THE TRUE LAL FAN..-MOVIE 'MAY' GAIN AN INITIAL..AND THE THE MOVIE WILL DROP DOWN FULLY.IT IS SURELY NOT GOING TO BE IN THE HIT CHARTS.THE ABOVE SAID REVIEW BY THE ADMIN IS MISLEADING AND BIASED.I request all fans to stay united and request laletan to judiciously select roles so that he remains the laletan we admire,the laletan we love and the laletan we follow.pinning hopes on christian brothers for next year to start with.namaste

  9. Hello Frnds..I am the admin of this blog...
    We didn't said the movie is bad.. The movie is good when certain subjects are considered like patriotism, theme and all..


    My ques are

    1. What is the need of Amitabh Bachchan in this movie?
    2. Why Major Mahadevan? In this film the central attraction goes to Ganesh Venkitraman...But the Maxlab marketed the movie in the name of Major Mahadevan..
    3. All the above is the right time to release the movie..as now is a feastival season...

  12. hi all,

    its can not be termed as a okie movie..its complete trash like Major Ravi's previous two flicks. And for Mohanlal, he needs to take serious decisions regarding the type of movies. We as fans and teh fan clubs in Kerala are destroying the actor in him.
    Am from bbay and i still remember the hype created when i was in Kerala for Sagar Alias Jacky movie. After seeing the movie..i felt cheated as to how a calibre and class of this actor can do such nonsense movie.. Outside the theatre i saw huge board of Lal and saying taht this movies is superbb...i just called up that lal association president and blasted at him for his misleading comments. I wanna say taht even we are fans of Lal like you..but we dont support his nonsense like U..
    I just wanna adress his choices of movies..
    I wish him the best for 2011
