M. Padmakumar is back to his track after a forgettable (I wish to) ride called പരുന്ത് , This time he is prepared and at best. Manoj Pillai who handles camera has made his own place in our industry by growing up with movies like VASTHAVAM, ARABIKADHA & KAYYPOOU from horrible BHARGAVACHARITHAM 3am KHANDAM. S. SURESH BABU is the writer of THANDAVAM & DADASAHIB both became.... now this man comes with a sloppy/dragging yet emotionally dramatic script, with some twists & turns.
This story is about BALARAMAN a lorry driver portrayed by LALETTAN & his daughter Ganga done by ANANYA & Their mysterious life.The heroes character is molded in such a way that the fear in him is clearly visible in his every move. Which only unwinds in the middle of second half- which make it bit draggy.
Balaraman is typical LALETTAN kind of role, having few mannerisms and dialogues (A few),Still his best after Bhramaram. A simple intro which electrifies the theater atmosphere (As usual), his big fat body was apt for Balaraman as he is much older than Kulappulli Sukumaran of Oru Naal Varum. but in the flash back its a completely different LALETTAN slim & fit.
After a long break Kalabhavan Mani shines,Lalu alex, Suraj, Jagathy, Ananya, Palery Mythily all where in a good mood.Sneha has completed her job with two songs.More characters need to be mentioned according to there performance not doing due to twists & turns they make in the movie.
The Naran image is maximum utilized in promos & in action sequences also. The entire movie has only 2 action scenes, first completely resembles with Market Situation & Scene of Naran. Then the second allotment comes with double either Bhramaram or Udayon,s rope trick Climax . Using technology wont make your cinema look better this is the best example for that - flash back scenes were Superbly shot & full Telugu dialogues being pictured in Sepia tone, which were impressive. The most horrible time inside the movies was that folk featuring LAL., Shear guts needed to this.
I was Cheated by media that the climax sequences were shot on dangerous locations.Watch carefully so that you people can also understand.
SHIKAAR- THE HUNT: IS NOT GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST GROSSER OF THIS SEASON THAT'S FOR SURE.
7/10 FOR LALETTAN, M PADMAKUMAR , MANOJ PILLAY & POOYAM KUTTY Forest Range.
ushaaarrrrrrrr
