Action thriller expert director Shaji Kailas surprised with his very lagging type new film “August 15”, which said to be a remake of Sibi Malayil’s mega hit movie “August 1”.
The theme of the film is similar to movie “August 1” in which “One wants to kill & the other wants to save!” .Investigation about attack against Chief Minister is the undertone in which Mammootty acted as the Investigating officer Permal & Nedumudi Venu,C.M along with Lalu Alex,Thalai Vasal Vijay & Baiju Kurupp as senior officers . Meghana Raj,Swetha Menon,Jagathy Sreekumar played a helping role for Perumal.Madhu,Balachandran Chullikkad are co-actors & Sidhique did the role of killer.
The lack of powerful & impactful script is very much reflected in the film. Director made not much more attempts to add thrilling moments. Disappointing first half & below average second half makes the film boring. Suspense couldn’t make much impact in the film. Even mannerisms & style given to Mammootty & Sidhique were ok; it was not enough to make a punch in the film. There are no elements in the film to entertain. BGM is just OK,but not up to thrilling mark . It’s very difficult to enjoy for any sort of audience. Technical works & camera works which were shined in Shaji Kailas’s previous hit films couldn’t find space in this film. In fact, he might have tried to change his directing style, but couldn’t make it success.
Overall, the film is utter disappointing one even I went without any expectations.
My rating:2.2/10.
