Moviegoers are saying

Pallichattambi delivers a disappointing period action drama that feels trapped in outdated commercial formulas, with audiences consistently calling out its predictable plot, weak action sequences, and cringe-worthy sequel baiting. Despite solid technical elements like Jakes Bejoy's background score and decent period visuals, the film struggles with poor dubbing, dragging first half, and what multiple reviewers describe as laughably bad wigs and elevation scenes.

Pallichattambi struggles to deliver on almost every front. The story is weak and highly predictable, relying on outdated, overused mass-elevation moments that fail to create any real excitement. Instead of building tension naturally, the film leans too heavily on familiar…

It felt like a cliched movie. Prithviraj’s character couldn’t made any impact to me and Tovino was good in his role. Please don’t do any sequels for this story.

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…

Disappointing. The story felt predictable, The action choreography was weak, even though the technical side didn’t demand much more. The lighting and Jakes Bejoy’s background score were good, but apart from that, nothing really stood out technically. Kayadu Lohar’s…

I genuinely couldn't believe this was a 2026 film. Every frame screamed "2005 commercial cinema"—and not in a nostalgic way. The story is paper-thin, the dialogues are painfully cringeworthy, and every hero elevation scene is staged as if the audience is supposed to erupt…

Strictly below average. A pretty predictable film overall. i found parts of it slightly boring, especially the Tovino–Kayadu love track. it only takes up a small portion of the film, but those scenes just didn't work for me. a lot of portions in the first half felt like a…
