After a week or so after its release, not many are in awe of SaJ. But I think otherwise. Spectaaaaaacularrrrrrrr filmmaking. But as in Big B, the story takes the backstage. Each frame is beauty past compare. You’ll feel like devouring those shots. Masterly craftsmanship.
I recommend the scene in which Bhavana is chased by goons in the rain, Mohanlal and the sharpshooter lurking between tall grass, (though there is a flaw in one of the shots – no sane person will jump into an open area when a sharphooter is trying to get him. Then again, because it was the hero, the shooter misses him), Jacky subduing the shooter through quick successive strokes (looks like Krav Maga) using a big thorn, Manoj K Jayan getting shot, the art direction and lighting of the scene where Jacky confronts Rosario Brothers in their den before the shootout; just to mention some.
The walrus moustache makes Mohanlal look beefier. Moreover, he is plump for an action hero. The spontaneous actor should definitely put more effort in this department.
Inspiration from Desperado can be seen in some scenes, but done smartly. Amal Neerad is a gangster specialist. I look forward to his version of a spaghetti western. I would like to know how he will use a horse in front of the camera.
More than the story, Amal Neerad speaks through the camera and how!
