Well , the most awaited movie of 2014 released today. People waiting to see their mega star on screen with stylish looks. Gangster seems to be the usual old gangster movies which doesn't have an enough good plot.

The story of Gangster unfolds in the city of Mangalore ruled by 3 'Gangsters', Mani Menon(Kunchan), Uncle Sam(John Paul) and Akbar Ali Khan(Mammootty).  The story begins with some animation clips which describe how Akbar became a gangster. Things goes fine in Mangalore until Uncle Sam's grandson Anto (Sekhar Menon) , a sexual pervert and a drug addict reaches the city. He plans to import contaminated vaccines to Mangalore port and sell them at higher rates thereby making much profit. Akbar is against drug activities and he opposes him. Anto plans to eliminate Akbar. In an attempt Akbar's wife Sana(Nyla Usha) gets killed and Akbar gets seriously injured. A disappointed Akbar moves to Ajmer for a pilgrimage with a mind that longs to take revenge on the one who ruined him. From then , it's all about violence. Will Akbar be successful in his attempt forms the rest of the plot.

So that's all about Gangster. The main attraction of the film is the stylish looks of the 'Gangster'. The film has many flaws in it. The film was slow in it's pace. Many sequences were excellent and a few were not up to the mark. The Villain character was not strong enough. As a whole, Gangster is a usual mass movie which never lives up to the standard and hype it made initially before it's release. The film has lot of violence elements and for that, it was given an 'A' Certificate.

Performance

The main attraction of the movie was Mammootty's performance ,stylish looks and dialogue delivery, He portrayed the Gangster very well. Nyla Usha was good in her role even though she didn't get much chance. Sekhar Menon, the villain couldn't live up to the standard of the protagonist.Rest of the cast were good in their roles.

Music

Music from Deepak Dev was good. Background music is another interesting element of the movie.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography was brilliant and lived up to international standards. The frames and angles were perfect , The Makeup man, Art director , costume designer receives appreciation as they made Gangster Stylish.

Direction And Screenplay

The script is the villain here. If the script was a better one, Gangster would have been brilliant. The script  by Ahmed Siddique and Abhilash Kumar was not up to the mark. Aashique Abu direction work was good but the lack of a good script made the direction weak.

Verdict:-Average Mass Entertainer..May Not Appeal to All..

Rating:-2.5/5
