STORY:
A college student (Mathew Thomas) writes a Facebook post against Chief Minister Kadakkal Chandran (Mammootty), after his security staff blocks and assaults the youth when entering a hospital where his father is admitted, while the CM is visiting. The post kicks up a political storm with the opposition led by Jayanandan (Murali Gopy) targetting the CM. However, this is just a starting point, with the script skirting aimlessly from one issue to the next, to rest on the core theme of Chandran’s quest to cleanse politics by championing a ‘right to recall’ bill.
MOVIE REVIEW:
After The Priest, Malayalam superstar Mammootty’s much-anticipated film ONE has released today, on March 26. Directed by Santhosh Vishwanath and written by Bobby & Sanjay, the film also stars Murali Gopy, Siddique, Joju George, Nimisha Sajayan and Shanker Ramakrishnan. Mammootty plays the role of Chief Minister of Kerala Kadakkal Chandran in the storyline penned by screenwriter duo Bobby and Sanjay. The superstar’s powerful dialogues and stylish avatar managed to keep the audience hooked to the big screen.
One is getting a mixed response from the audience and critics alike. One of the Twitter users wrote, “The best thing about ONE is megastar mammootty he carries entire film on his shoulders.” On the other hand, a section of audience is disappointed with the film. “#One Average reports for first half . Nothing impressive so far . Bobby Sanjay failed to create a strong script for first half . Hoping movie will be on track with second half and climax,” a moviegoer tweeted.
