I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely the worst movie.
A Disappointing Continuation
Usually I didn't like to write reviews about Malayalam movie.Malayalam languages are most difficult ones in india. But this movie was wonderful. Considering it as a thriller genre, it is worth of giving 10 stars. Unexpected surprises in the film makes it more interesting to watchry is gripping and performances by everyone are stunning. Brilliant script followed with top notch direction,editing, cinematography and performances..!! A great movie and superb story line!!!. A must watch if you are a fan of thriller and suspense movies
View MoreI would begin with saying that this movie was surely a path breaker. It is not the usual Rom - com movies that we see in Malayalam movies It has shown the audiences a new style of movie.I don't like to say more about the plot of the movie but Iam sure that the movie will surely surprise you . As I said the movie is just short of excellent because we might feel the movie a bit slow in the middle but the climax of the movie will make you jump from your seats.
View MoreI watched this film after hearing that the protagonist is a gay person, which is almost a revolution in a conservative society like Kerala. The way gay people are portrayed in the film just disappointed my high expectations. The characters are so underdeveloped and their motives are unjustified by their actions in the film. There are so many scenes that are unbelievably coincidental as the writers could not break the clichés. Using cuts to fake the fight scene was effective, but still such a cliché in Malayalam films. Solving Sudoku is used as a measure of eligibility to go back to work for a police officer who is suffering from memory loss. Unsurprisingly, the same officer is used to solve the same case again even after the superior realizing that the protagonist is suffering from the accident he had. The character done by Rahman was so badly developed and was created as an excuse for making the story the way the writers wanted. And the actor could not help but act badly too. I haven't seen any other films of Rahman from recent years, but in this film, he did such a terrible job. But I'd blame the writers for that. It is surprising that he hadn't had any sexual thoughts about any men for the period of investigation in the second term. His boyfriend visiting him on the last day of investigation is questionable. Chasing scene looked very fake, but acting of Prithvi and Jayasurya were convincing. Comparing to most of the Malayalam films these days, this film still wasn't the worst, so I am giving it a three.
View MoreMalayalam Cinema has, thus transcended into another era with this movie. Mumbai Police talks about friendship, memory loss & the plight of LGBT community. It is bold in its plot & thrilling in its story.Prithviraj's character as well as portrayal is his best till now, as an ACP who loses his memory after a car accident. What unfolds is a grim & tacky story related to Rehman & Jayasurya who were best friends once. Backed by brilliant non-linear screenplay, brilliant music & scintillating performances by each & every one in cast, Mumbai Police succeeds in keeping the suspense intact till it reaches the climax. And the climax is simply outstanding. The life lessons & virtues depicted are good & worth pondering upon, especially due to the professional style. Ballistics, mind games, genius assassination & everything related to it - is what Mumbai Police is about. This will take Rosshan Andrrews to the next level, for sure.I appreciate the filmmakers' guts to introduce LGBT into Malayalam cinema, although I cannot say how it will be received by the Mallu public. But, for me, it was food for thought & a great entertainer. It has some serious references to the Hollywood thriller, The Bourne Identity.BOTTOM LINE: A perfect summer movie for everyone. 8.3/10.MESSAGE: LGBT community should be respected. Sometimes, decision making is difficult when close friends are involved.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES. (if Gay relationship depiction is okay with them)Profanity: Mediocre | Vulgarity: No | Sex: No | Nudity: Mild | Violence: Strong | Gore: Mild | Smoking: Mediocre | Alcohol: Strong | Drugs: No
