Moviegoers are saying

Pallichattambi emerges as a deeply polarizing period action drama that has left Malayalam cinema audiences sharply divided - while some appreciate its 1950s setting and technical elements like Jakes Bejoy's background score, the overwhelming majority slam it for weak action sequences, poor dubbing (especially Kayadu Lohar's lip-sync issues), and director Dijo's sequel-baiting tactics reminiscent of his previous disappointments.

Random Puthuppally guy got more claps than Tinova in the whole movie. The sequel bait syndrome was slowly leaving Malayalam cinema, and Dijo proudly brings it back. Set in the 1950s, the era portrayal was kinda nice and probably the least thing to be good in the movie. The…

Tovino Thomas is like the "Japan National Football team" we all love at the World Cup - winning our hearts by their performance, hardwork and etiquette, but only an empty trophy cabinet to show for it. In 2018, Belgium was the villain, but today it was the Screenplay…
