Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

PimpinAinttEasy Dear Abrid Shine,it was a great idea to make a police procedural with no real plot - just one case getting solved after another. Though at the end of it, I was reminded of End of Watch which did sort of have the same structure. But your film was not plagiarized in any way.Don't think I did not notice that most of the cases handled by Biju (Nivin Pauly) and his team of officers were ones involving regular people or small time crooks. You did not take on any big shots or political parties and completely avoided mention of any religious face offs which are quite common in Kerala. That is self censorship but I discussed the film with a cousin of mine and he said something interesting. If the film targeted well known political leaders and religious figures it would have been like a Shaji Kailas-Renji Panicker film. Instead, the film was up to its neck in interesting working class characters and their problems.The patriotic stuff and the right-wing attitude of the police officer were slight aberrations. Though it could be true to life. The speech at the school was sanctimonious crap.Major Ravi was miscast in the role of the senior police officer. Sooraj Venjaramoodu stood out in his small role. The praise he has been getting is well deserved.The background score was unremarkable. What happened there? You could have done so much more with this structure. The cases could have been more interesting. Most of them were aimed at getting people to laugh. Nothing wrong with that since Action Hero Biju is a commercial film. The ending suggested that there would be a sequel. I guess I'll watch it.Best Regards, Pimpin.(6/10)

ganesv-61429 OK movie in general but so many loose links and very bad editing. Certain scenes, characters and songs were not needed at all and the heroine was pathetic except her looks and smile. Some characters were introduced with some problems but were left unfinished / missed out. The climax was the most unexpected one and made us sit with wide open mouths thinking how this happened with the heroine!! Very good action sequences by Nivin and he definitely has done justice to the role. Some other police officers/ constables were also good and so were the duologue's. Some good messages were conveyed throughout the movie but i doubt if everyone would like this kind of a movie especially if he is not a NIVIN fan ..and definitely not worth the 8 and 10 stars I would give a 5.5/10

TheDennisBergkampFan This is one of those movies for which IMDb can effectively disable the spoiler button and it would make no difference since the movie has no storyline and thus nobody can spoil the plot for those who are yet to watch it.I have seen more than my fair share of movies. I have seen absolute gems like 'Castaway on the Moon' that very few people would have been privileged enough to watch. I have seen horrendous movies like 'The Chosen One' starring Rob Schneider that even he himself probably did not watch. However this is the first time ever that I have seen a movie without the slightest semblance of a storyline. Action Hero Biju is borderline biography. If you are expecting a movie in which the protagonist uses words like 'Boombastic' repeatedly and beats up politicians just for fun, this is not it. If you are expecting a movie with comedy in the first half and mind boggling suspense in the second half then , this is not it either.If a camera crew followed a honest yet tough police officer around for a month keeping track of the day to day functioning of a police station ,then this would be it.Action Hero Biju is not everyone's cup of tea. This is one of those movies that will split moviegoers opinions down the middle. Half the audience will leave the theater disappointed because this is not what they have come to expect from action movies/thrillers/police oriented movies. The other half will stand up and applaud the director for a very unique way of making a movie without a concrete plot. It is simply a series of complaints that Sub Inspector Biju Paulose handles to the best of his ability. Sounds simple enough but it is the execution of this sequence of events, the attention to details, the simplistic humour, that is the strength of the movie.It kind of reminds you of the movie 'Signs' which was not very well received because the audience over the years had come to accept that the only way to defeat Aliens would be if the American Military bombed the living daylight out of them. So when someone made a very good movie about Aliens having to retreat simply because they could not adapt to water it was met with thumbs-downs and brickbats.Action Hero Biju is arguably Nivin Pauly's best movie to date in terms of acting prowess. Even in Premam his acting skills would come into questions during the scenes where he had to exhibit sheer anger . This one is a near flawless performance. He manages to transition effortlessly from funny cop to tough cop from time to time.One of the brightest spots about the movie is the casting. Though it is a very extensive cast , every single individual comes up with extremely convincing performances. A lot of the cast members might have probably never stood in front of a video camera before but it never shows that they were cast from oblivion and will probably return to oblivion. If there was an Award for Best Ensemble Cast this one would win it convincingly. While every single cast member is at least on par there are a couple of performances that over shine the rest, especially the short toothless drunkard who sings and Suraj Venjaramoodu as the helpless husband whose wife elopes with his friend.There is a show called Bosch that airs on the FX channel. Before Bosch every police show was about that one cop who took on crime single-handedly,gave two hoots about the system and never got along with his co-workers or bosses. Detective Harry Bosch follows procedure to the book , gets along well with everyone and still solves crime. Bosch is a refreshing change from the run of the mill crime shows. Action Hero Biju is the Bosch of Malayalam cinema.If you asked me a month from today I might not be able to describe the movie scene for scene. However what I can tell you that today I spend two and a half hours thoroughly enjoying a very well acted, well cast , funny , well directed movie as did most of the people in the theaterIf you watch it with an open mind nothing will stop you from enjoying it. Watch it because it is different.

mspradeesh786 This movie fails to make impact.It's a failure from the start go...No matter how the makers love to portray a honest officer (the Jana maitri type)...this movie is full of pitfalls. Nivin should only try movies with Alphonse!!!! At-least the latter knows a know how about this lame actor. The music is not in tune with the scenes....The Actor is not in tune with Uniform...and a person like nivin should not have the globe visible in between his legs!!!!!The theme is brilliant...but it is not worth a dime!!!! The only like is...I went to see this movie with my child...who like- Nivin's son- do go to watch movies- to have pop corn.....To them theaters are places to eat their favorite soaps!!!! I did oblige!!!!!
