I would say, one of the senseless movie, ever made in Malayalam. This scrip writer should not be allowed to write any script for any movie or shows in the future. This is an insult to American Malayalies , American Politics and common sense of the audience .First 20 minutes is somewhat tolerable. Who would believe a malayalee who cannot speak English will be hired to work for an American Governor's election campaign. Another sad thing is that they are showing a clownish American as Governor Candidate.He is then trained for debate by this malayalee who cannot speak English. It is sad to see a realty show Judge Baburaj showing extreme clownish senseless jokes even kids won't laugh. I would rate 0 out of 10 since there is nothing to say good about this movie.

Regarded as the first Malayalam film to be released worldwide in over 500 theaters, Peruchazhi could have been dubbed as a mass-murderer for numbing its audience's senses if it were not for the hardcore Mohanlal fans.In a hall with 60 to 40 ratio of Mohanlal fans and general public respectively, the former managed to clap, shout, whistle, dance, and even mob their non-Mohanlal fan neighbors while we, the general public lapsed into multiple thoughts about Mohanlal's film career. We all came up with a unanimous conclusion: that this film will do to Mohanlal what Mr. Fraud did, NOTHING. I'm positive tha Mohanlal (his Nadodikattu is my most favorite Malayalam film, FYI) will continue to do films, genres notwithstanding.Starting off with how Sunny (Vijay Babu) is desperate to find an Indian political consultant for his boss' governor campaign, the film follows his recruitment of political man of savoir-faire from Kerala, Jagannathan (Lal) and his peers (Baburaj & Aju Varghese) and how they showcase their antics in the US of A in order to succeed in the election campaign. The plot is hands down, ridiculous and that is if you find out what it is. Because, around 3 hours of running time, and all I could see is Lal exercising his portly made-up pinkish brown lips. Jagannathan is supposed to be a politics genius and he tries his local Indian ways to bring about a change in the election in California. The whole US setup is just namesake, because if you were to think about how the story unfolds, you will want to strangle the writers for coming up with such a baseless story. It is flawed, yes, but the proportion of flaws is astronomical.Since the beginning I had a bad feeling about the film because the titles took about 10 minutes to finish and had this auditory dialogs from famous Malayalam films. The jokes are hardly funny, yet the Mohanlal fans managed to overlook that and laugh their stomachs off. He wore a goggles, they clapped. He wore a suit, they clapped. He wore another goggles, they clapped. He wore the US flag as lungi, they clapped. He pouted, they clapped. He shat, they clapped and so on.The direction is bad and I have proof for that. Have you, an Indian, ever seen an American, in films, with poor acting? No, right? Well, you watch Peruchazhi and you will find dozens. The cinematography is the only thing that is average. Lighting, setup, art, music, lyrics (peruchazhi and bandicoot makes about 80% of it, probably written by BlaaZe, last heard from in Casanovva), make-up, choreography, editing, CGI, screenplay - everything is poor. To say that these were poorer than a Santhosh Pandit film would rather be an understatement.Because, the cast, from whom people now have started to expect gold are only delivering cheap copper. It is the time of newcomer directors and writers, but what made Mohanlal take up this project? Why, even the English subtitles were marred with mistakes and typos! Mr. Fraud was a 5/10 for me and when I see my own score for this flick, I am rather worried about what is happening to Malayalam films? Last year, we saw some great films in its history and now, what? Jayaram as a joker in Ulsaha Committee? Mammootty as a joker in Praise The Lord? And now Mohanlal as a joker in Peruchazhi, who falls in love with a fair- complexioned prostitute? Come on!The item song is pure cabaret and has Lal's character ogling at the supposed beauties. Few adults jokes and rants at current affairs of Kerala may have satisfied the niche. Other than few chuckles, brought about by using some famous Malayalam tracks and Lal's old film dialogs, there is nothing to consider. You may as well go and enjoy Apothecary or Mammootty's comeback film, Munariyippu instead.BOTTOM LINE: Peruchazhi, like my partner said after leaving the hall, is only for kids below the age of 10. Because, a kid named Jagannathan, who was sitting beside us was the only person who enjoyed the film the way a person enjoys a film. 2/10 for this debacle. If you were to make a robot watch this film, it would plead you to dismantle it, and after continuous forcing, would do it by itself.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Peruchaazhi is an out and out logic-less entertainer which entertains at most parts. The crew themselves ask us to keep our mind switched off to watch this movie.Peruchaazhi is the story of Jagannathan(Mohanlal), who is a politician in Kerala. He gets an assignment to help John Kory to win in the California Governor election. Jagan and his friends(Aju & Baburaj) reach America and then they helps John to increase his ratings. Will this help John's victory? Will Jaganathan and his ideas become successful?From the plot itself, its clear that the movie is completely a logic-less one. The crew were trying for a complete festival entertainer and they became successful in that at parts. First half was good with a lot of comic numbers and all from the lead cast. But while coming to second half, the script lost its power. Post interval, movie becomes just an average flick.The main saving grace of the movie is Mohanlal's energetic performance. His comic timings and charisma makes us remember the vintage Lalettan. Supporting cast, Vijay Babu, Mukesh, Aju Varghese, Baburaj etc also did their job well. The English actor in the role of John Kory also was good and funny. Heroine Ragini Nandwani was OK, but the character was and the love track was unwanted.Here comes the positives and negatives.Positives*Mohanlal's energetic performance. *Titles(Especially for Mohanlal Fans). *Good performance from the supporting cast.Negatives*Second Half. *Climax. *Love Track.
