Its about the movie, twenty20
The film Twenty20 produced by actor Dilip’s production company Graand Productions for AMMA [ Association of Malayalam Movie Artists] as a fund raiser for the association is the first ever Malayalam movie containing all super stars in Malayalam and most of the members in industry. The film contains Mammootty, Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi the most prominent figures of Malayalam film industry in fairly equally important roles. The film also considers a role for more than 60 Malayalam cine artist, which includes some one with role, some one just for fantasy and some one seen just in a flash.
The film which is designed in a way, as to provide roles for everyone is 100% an entertainer. The film never tried to give equal importance to all by providing equal number of dialogues or same heroine instead it just plotted one to the apt role, even it reminds the old roles performed by them.
As expected the film was never a collection of characters cropped and glued, instead a story is there behind the film, and a wonderful pattern of narration from the Director Joshiy. The film and the narration is centered to Mohanlal, whose performance is awesome as usual. Mammootty, who also shares an important part in the screen also played the role in amazing manner. The man who needs a special applause is Suresh Gopi, who shines again in police uniform that makes the story to a real thriller. Jayaram, Kalabhavan Mani, Dilip, Madhu, Manoj K Jayan, Indrajith, Sidhique, Mukesh, Jagathy, Salim Kumar and Sukumari also had done those small roles in neatly. And some one mainly young stars like Pridviraj, Kunchako, Jayasurya became just dancers for a cameo song by Nayantara. (How to provide that much role, its a question!)
The major part of the film is screen play, dialogues and direction. Though the story contains nothing new, the way of narration without stressing much to super starts and moving through incidence makes it interesting, while the dialogues, specially crafted for the stars, makes the movie a crispy one. And on the case of direction, its done by Joshiy and its a perfect Joshiy movie.
The major drawback seen for the film are two – the poster design is simply manipulation over the I am Legend poster. Cross examine here Twenty20 and I am Legend Can’t you make your own poster?
The second drawback is the three songs, simply bore to hear could be nominated to this years worst music trophy, though the visualization is done is a good manner, and the Nayantara’s pub song, is one among the best ‘such’ song Malayalam ever had.
The movie is simply an entertainer, and has nothing to be new in it.There are certain stunt and some over heroism, still it is fine to watch as a whole movie. And if your are one who celebrates movie watching, enjoys Mohanlal in mundu, Mammootty performing in front of the court and of course get thrilled when Suresh Gopi splashes dialogues with English h words, arrogantly to his superior – this film is one for you. It is never a money loser and surely a mile stone in Malayalam film industry.
Hats off to the makers.

……..Dilip’s production company Graand Productions for AMMA [ Association of Malayalam Movie Artists] as a fund raiser for the association is the first………
nice blog… nice design..
The film and the narration is centered to Mohanlal, Is the film a mohanlal centerd one? I dont heard so, any way lemme see the movie,.. you are the one guarantee…
me like the movie too……….:)
songs are bad.. as u said its worst!
Ya Hiran. I agree with you. The Film is a superhit. I wonder how did they make the movie providing equal important roles to the trio Mohanlal, Mammootty, S.G and Dileep as well.
My favourite scene in the movie was the introduction of Mohanlal in a sentimental scene and then suddenly he jumps to his natural “Heroic” manner (The Mundu action). Well, after all I’m a Mohanlal fan….
Oh,
So its a good movie! Anyway, i like that poster part. Lack of Professionalism? Or might decided to reduce the expense over these works!
cheers
you liked that scene. That might be the only scene which makes a super heroic approach and unrealistic things to the story… will that happen? when someone see that its a play what lal did, they could inform court and court could take action on him for cheating court. Hope hiran tried to review without telling the story, I am sorry,
Being a fully-entertainer film Twenty-20 have many unrealistic events. That particular scene was not only the single one. The strength of the Film is not its story, but the heroism and dialogs. So there is not much to blame about the unrealistic scenes. The effort taken to make a movie as such is appreciable while maintaining the star status of each and everyone.
Fully-entertainers are much different from movies with a story-base, so its not worth to compare between them.
The film IS having a story. That itself is a plus point. We had many heroic films and other films which contained unnecessary and stupid climaxes. The film is just a entertainment and it does what an entertainment is supposed to do. Apart of all those things, making a film which does not make any issue to the film fans, its something hard. They did that well.
Right. I agree with that….
Nice review. You are posting about a commercial film for the first time

the best film in malayalam industry……..
