Too much of everything

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Set in a very traditional 'valluvanadan' (a region of Kerala known for its affinity to art & culture) scene, this movie is easily one of the best movies in the history of Malayalam movies and quite possibly Indian movies in general. The story line depicts how a feudal lord, given his irreverent and spend thrift nature, is much vulnerable within. The vulnerability is exposed when the lord is told about his adoption as a kid by his ailing mother. What happens after that is depicted to absolute perfection by Mohanlal. Such performances that captures every bit of imagination and attention of the viewers runs through the whole film, by all the supporting cast. Couple that needs to be mentioned are that of Innocent and Oduvil Unnikrishnan.All in all, if you do not watch this film, you are at loss!

Devasuram is one of the most successful Malayalam movies and was directed by I. V. Sasi starring Mohanlal. The movies has a cult following and the characters in the movies are fondly remembered by the Malayalees. The rivalry between Mangalasherry Neelakantan (Mohanlal) and Mundakkal Shekaran (Napolean) is the main theme of the movie.Only the name "Mangalaserry Neelakandan" is enough. Beautiful Movie. Nice Direction. Devasuram adds feather to the Mohanlal acting. Acted by Mohanlal as "Mangalachery Neelakandan". Just the name says the power of the character. Character selection in this movie is excellent. Napeolean as "Sekharan" is another highlight of the movie. Then the character of Innocent. Wah... Then Revathi, Nedumudi venu and all main characters done their work extraordinary beautiful. Climax Scene is one of the highlight of the movie. Music by M.G Radhakrishan is excellent. Esp the song "Vande mukunda hare" sung by himself is amazing. Another main character is Oduvil unnikrishnan(peringodan). Nice Screenplay by renjith. Totally one of my favorite movie

I'm a self-declared mohanlal fan in spite of his recent crap releases. I have watched devasuram umpteen number of times and every time i watch it i do realise that it is not his best performance but then what makes me watch this film is that perhaps there is nobody in Indian cinema who can do that role better than him. When mangalessery Neelakantan depicts his street fighter and spendthrift image i got to believe it. He doesn't leave a chance to question his different forms of dominance over society in the film as questionable from the analysing viewer point of view. His arrogance has a charm not just to the people whom he insults but also to me as a viewer. Its amazing how this man can control his histrionics so well. His scolding of Warrier ironically exudes a kind of respect that probably is the best in Indian films,famous for its father-son relationship dramas,though they are not father-son. His subsequent change of attitude(after knowing the truth)is fantastic.and so is his subtle romance with revathi who herself is very good in this. A must see for all mohanlal fans and non-mohanlal fans.

Not many films of Mohanlal combines the romantic aspect as well as the action parts well. This film appears to belong to the minority. There is real chemistry between Revathi and Lal. This film also has one of my favorite scenes. The sequence where Revathi upstages Lal after dancing for him is certainly an all time great scene. All the characters are etched well in this film (a rarity in Malayalam films). The only short comings are the allownces made for audiences in the form of fight sequences. The movie could have been so much stronger had it been dealt with a little more subtleness.
