Major Annan movie - We will always go with mixed feelings. Mixed feelings only because his last outing in Picket 43 was good, and recent form of Lal.


Starts of with a UN Operation which is not upto the mark. Kids of the hero characters joining the mission in UN and setting the stage for flashbadk. Does not evoke any feelings with the viewers still Veruppichittilla. Major Mahadevan's Intro comes in between. Nothing great an usual Intro. Then comes Major Sahadevan - Lal in aged role. Paying homage to two War Heroes. Then to the flashback of why he pays homage to those war heroes. Here comes the 2nd Intro of Major Sahadevan - Nattile intro. Idhu kollaamaayirunnu. Pinne naattile family sentiments, kootukaar angane oru military cinemacku venda cheruvakal okke. It has come out okay - Again veruppichittilla and I think will appeal to families. First halfile scenes vechu promo cheyidhal Vishu season-il athyaavasyam cash vaaraam. Pinne goes to the War Front with punch interval scene created just for Fans. Pakshe kollaamaayirunnu. Ee oru scene kondu first half ends with a positive note. Athyaavasyam nalla claps undaayirunnu at Interval.


Then 2nd Half. Again War front. Ororutharude sentiments-um praaraabdhangalum aayittu angane angane... Adhinte idayil Allu Sirish-inte Love Song-um - Aa song nalla veruppickal thanne.Pinne bhayankara cliche sentiments which does not evoke any feelings with the viewers. Then comes the much needed relief - Tank Fight. Adhu nalla kidu aayittu cheyidhittondu. Superb. Then Shadevan and his troops sets out on a revenge attack. Pinnedangaottu pattaala uniform-il ulla oru Street Fight pole ondu. Indian Captain and Pak Captain angottum ingottum Simham ennu visheshippickunnu, vedi veckunnu pinne thokkokke upekshichu malpiduthathil erppedunnu, dialogue, idi, dialogue idi... Endhiro endho... Ee Major-inokke ithra vivaram ille...


Angane padam avasaanickunnu... Randu Rakthsaakshikal Major Mahadevan ippozhum nenjil kondu nadakkunna randu rakthasaakshikal..Adhinum maathram aa randu per endhenkilum cheyidhu ennu viewers-inu maathram thonnunnilla...


Positives
Tank Fight - Excellent
First Half Family Moments - Can attract families


Negatives
Clicheyude koombaaram
Fans-inu vendi maathram ulla kure scenes
Oru War story-il ninnum ettavum koodudhal pradeekshickunna - Romanjam - Totally missing
Mohanlal's portrayal of Major - Oru Pattaala Major-inte yaadhoru mannerisms-um kondu varaan kazhinjilla - Physically as well as in Dialogue Delivery.


Overall Summary - Watch it only for Tank Fight


Crowd Response - Claps at Interval. At the end oru tharam nisangadha.


Rating - 3 / 5.
