Half Hearted Drama

Carnival Cinemas - 17/5/14

Review
-----------

Director B.Unnikrishnan's latest movie 'Mr.Fraud' gives you some promise, mainly because of his last outing with Mohanlal worked quite well (Grandmaster) and also because of the possibilities of the theme, lead actor. But sadly, when you walk out of the cinema, one may feel disappointed because it looks a lost chance at best.

Movie is promising and above average in the first half. It begins with the customary 'back story' seen in big movies a while back and then moves to some fake premises of a concert and robbery. But even with all that its Lal's sheer presence, mannerisms which keep the movie alive. He seems to be in a good form where is able to charm the audience, even with his light gestures. Many of the sequences, dialogues seem forced to the likability of the fans but still heading to the interval with a twist, it seems to be going a notch above from there.

Post interval all such thoughts go in vain as the proceedings come to a dead pan state. There is much happening on the screen but most of it looks quite lame. And one starts to slowly give up on the movie.Even Mohanlal has nothing much to do in the second half. The long drawn out climax thankfully arrives and the end portions inject the customary 'goodness' part, ending it with a 'James Bond' type dialogue.

Technically the making is quite slick and camera by Sateesh Kurup is good. Editing could have been better in the second half. Direction looks half hearted as well. Music is disappointing with no track making an impression. Background score has portions taken from earlier movies of Gopi Sundar.

The only performances that makes an impression is that of Sai Kumar, who disappears quite abruptly and to an extent Siddique. But whatever is the good part of 'Mr.Fraud' is an endearing phenomenon called 'Mohanlal'. With quite an ease which only the great actor can deliver, he wins you over in many a unconvincing scene.

To sum it up, 'Mr.Fraud' looks a lost chance at best. Watch it if you may but with lower expectations and Mohanlal's charming act may save your day a little bit.

Verdict - Disappointing
Rating - 2/5
