SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

July 4 is one of those rare cases where a good story was pretty badly brought out on screen . One would expect a few good laughs when going for a dileep movie, but humor carried very little weight age. Dileep did do justice to his role , so did siddique , khaneefa etc .Roma was also impressive but the make up used was disgusting . I wonder why the movie makers in these parts think that the success of a movie is directly proportional to the amount of paint used on the face of the hero or heroine. The script left much to be desired. There were a lot of instances in the movie when one felt that the director was purposefully trying to stretch the movie. The most likable part of the movie were the numerous twists that were there in the plot . The last twist which wound up the movie was pretty decently done, canceling out the otherwise "gone awry" script. The movie is worth a watch if u are a dileep fan or if u feel u have too much of time to waste, just like that. The movie should have been much shorter and the script should have been given more importance than it actually got. There were loads of twists and turns , but in the end it failed to impress.
