It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

After hearing of all the hype about this movie, I finally watched it with my friends and the result was pretty disappointing. There is no denying the fact that Mohanlal has done a pretty good role in this movie. It is good to see our Lalettan in a realistic role without punch dialogues and heavy action. The first half of the movie was pretty impressive. But the second half was a serious let down and the climax a disaster. Don't trust these critics who claim this to be a brilliant movie. The director attempted to make it a brilliant one but the effort didn't pay off. I couldn't find anything brilliant in this movie. In fact, I found plenty of stupid things which deteriorated the experience (like the real villain suiting up as a priest to make use of Babu Antony). The identity of the villain is predictable for those people who have seen a lot of suspense thriller English movies. And the villain overdid it in the final scenes. Overall there is nothing new in this movie other than seeing Mohanlal in a pretty good role. Might entertain hardcore Mohanlal fans.

the work of director unnikrishnan can only be termed as tremendous. the grandmaster,which has variety theme with good acting performances from lead actors like mohanlal,priyamani,anoop menon and babu Antony.after much of awful mohanlal movies like Casanova,and a lot another dump movies ,the universal star is back on track with a tremendous performance in grandmaster.the movie grandmaster is a type of bollywood or Hollywood and improves the quality of south Indian cinema.it has action,brain-work and tremendous suspense at last.at last it is a much watch investigating thriller

The theme of this movie, an intelligent good character and an intelligent bad character, tried and tested formula. the movie failed to impress the intelligent audience. that translated to its average performance. As a movie lover this movie reminded me, my old time favorite, Assassins, by Stallone and Antonio Banderas. Also the branding, reminded the 'Glorious' Bastards. About the casting, MohanLal secured his job as usual. rest of the characters are supporting as usual. Anoop Menon too did a good job. I think the first time I see them both together. Overall The movie has nothing new to tell. 4/10

when a person from kerala thinks of police movies,, what comes to his mind?? a heroic and brave police officer,, who has the capability of beating up 10-15 bad guys at once and who continuously delivers punch dialogues, and mocks and stand up to his seniors who happens to be bad guys. and not to mention senseless action sequences. but grandmaster is an exception to such movies. the hero of the movie does not have super-human abilities and does not deliver punch dialogues throughout. that is the thing i liked most about this movie.in short, grandmaster is a sensible movie with a good screenplay (not an outstanding one though), which does not insult the viewers' intelligence with the senseless clichés mentioned above.the casting of this movie is very good. mohanlal did his role as inspector general chandrashekhar brilliantly. the supporting cast was also good.we can safely say that b unnikrishnan, has matured both as a director and a script writer, and hope he continues to make good movies like these.
