Our Rating : 3.25/5

After long wait. the most anticipated film of the year 'Charlie'  has opened to positive reviews.  Charlie is a romantic drama but it can't be compared with Premam or Ennu Ninte Moideen. It has its own  style. With less expectations , Charlie is a decent watch.
Charlie (Dulquer Salman) is a young man who leads a detached life. He loves to travel and wishes to live without any worries.  He leads a crazy and impulsive life.  The story goes through the view point of Tessa(Parvathy Menon) who elopes from her family as she doesn't wish to get married. She finds a shelter in Kochi. Tessa lived in a room which was earlier occupied by someone. His stuff in that room and one call from his creates curiosity in Tessa to find out who the previous occupant was. The film is Tessa's journey to find who Charlie actually is.

The film is not a complete fun film like 'ABCD'. It has its own dimensions.  The style of narration was good and the visuals were outstanding.  The climax was good but abrupt. Dulquer-Parvathy chemistry is added positive to the movie.

The film isn't a pacy one. It takes its own time to get into the track.

Performance

Dulquer as Charlie was brilliant. He could present the Charming character with ease. One of his best performance till date, Parvathy was good as curious Tessa. Her mature acting skills stole the show.  Aparna Gopinath, Nedumudi Venu ,Chemban Vinod, KPAC Lalitha, Tovino,  Soubin ,Neeraj were perfect in their roles.

Music

BGM was good . Songs were average ones.

Cinematography

Charlie is visually extravagant and the credit goes to cinematographer Jomon T John. He proved himself once again with his stunning visuals.

Script and Direction

Writer Unni R is successful in creating a fresh and simple love story. The way in which characters were introduced in the film created difference. The movie doesn't have any big elements of suspense but still engages the audience .  Martin Prakkat's direction was good and he could transform a good script into a better movie.

Verdict : Charlie is A Decent Watch ....

Rating : 3.25/5

Salala Mobiles is Okay For One-Time Watch

Director:- Sharath A Haridasan

Cinematography:-Satheesh Kurup

Music:- Gopi Sundar

Starring :- Dulquer,Nazriya....

Rating:- 2.5/5 Watchable

Walking out of the theatre , I thought about the film & I couldn't find anything that interesting in Salala Mobiles. Yes , Salala Mobiles is a usual film that doesn't have anything to offer or express.

Afzal (Dulquer Salman) a lazy guy who roams about jobless after his studies. His mother Sifa (Gita) asks her brother Salaludheen to advice Afzal and he arranges fund for Afzal for starting a Mobile showroom. Azal & his friend Binoy (Jacob Gregory )begins their business. They named the shop 'Salala Mobiles'. Shahana (Nazriya) is their frequent customer & she visits their shop to get her mobile recharged. Afzal falls in love with shahana at the very first sight but he doesn't express it due to his fear.Things take a turn when Afzal meets Alagar Saamy(Santhanam) a young programmer and software developer on their trip to Coimbatore to obtain mobiles at wholesale rate. He gifts them , a mobile call tapping software. Afzal & Binoy starts using the software for fun & they begin to tap the call of their customers. The local people informs the police about the call tapping. Will the police trace them? Will Afzal be able to express his love? . All these form the rest of the plot.

Salala Mobiles is just a usual rich-poor love story which is watchable. Even though it was promoted as a romantic comedy entertainer, it doesn't offer those much. The first half is watchable but the second half is a little let down and the people may feel unsatisfied with the climax.

Performance

Dulquer was good in his role as a lazy innocent teenager. Nazriya is good at her expressions but she got sidelined in the film. She didn't have anything great to do.Jacob Gregory was good as Binoy as he was able to produce some laughter. Santhanam was good but he deserved a better Debut.Rest of the cast have done justice to their roles.

Music

Music by Gopi Sundar is good throughout the BGM portion but the songs are just average.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography By Satheesh Kurup was fine though it had nothing much to offer.

Screenplay & Direction 

The script by the director himself doesn't have anything much to offer. The jaded script is one of the negatives of this movie.

Verdict:- All together Salala Mobiles Is Just an Average film..Good for One- Time Watch...

Rating : - 2.5/5
