Nivin Pauly Mikhael Review | Box Office Collection

After two consecutive super hits with Mammootty ( The Great Father & Abhrahaminte

Santhathikal) , one of the youngest successful director Haneef Adeni now team up with Nivin

Pauly and Unni Mukundan .The genre of the new movie is same as the previous two from

Haneef Adeni. Nivin Pauly’s Mikhael is a mass thriller angle movie and that reason is more

than enough to pin up good expectations on the movie.

The story of Mikhael surrounds around a character named Mike, who is a doctor by

profession. A series of murders that happen, which is connected with Mike’s like and there by

Macro Jr (Unni Mukundan) also came into picture…..rest of the movie flowing in a thriller

manner…

Haneef Adeni is well-known for etching out scripts which have emotional, thrilling as well as

mass elements in the right proportions. Mikhael also follows a similar format. Mikhael has a

usual story line and the writer in him tries to overcome that tweaked in some interesting

elements in the screenplay. However, the striking sequences like the ones that he had created

in his previous movies are missing here. But, he has smartly played by coming up with

smartly placed punch dialogues, which work out pretty well.

He maintains the stylish quotient of the film with his packaging style and has presented his

protagonist with the deserved mass elements. The build-up that some of the scenes give for

the characters are impressive but it does go overboard at portions. The first half of the film is

high on emotional elements and there are some moments of lethargy but he pulls the film on

the right track with the second half where the tempo raises.In fact, it is in the second half that

we get exact mass of the movie. However, he was only partially successful in maintaining the

thrill factor throughout the film.

Songs set to tune by Gopi Sunder are good. The BGM by him is simply stunning with some

of the scenes getting elevated to another level. Vishnu Panicker has set up some stylish

frames that suit the mood of the movie. Editing by Mahesh Narayanan is fine

Nivin Pauly impresses with his portrayal of the lead character. The mass portion of the

character were convincing in his hands and he makes it a point a give lot of moments to cheer

for his fans. Unni Mukundan looked astonishing as Marco Jr and has come up with a fine

performance. At the same time, his character deserved more detailing and depth. Siddique

once again proves why he is one among the best of the actors around with a stellar

performance. The film also features Manjima Mohan, Kalabhavan Shajon, JD Chakravarthy,

Ashokan, Babu Antony, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Sudev Nair etc., in lead roles.

Bottom Line

Mikhael is worth to watch one time. This one would definitely appeal you, especially if you

are a lover of stylishly crafted movies with a good share of mass, emotional and thrilling

elements. But again Nivin Pauly were seen average performer on the Mass dialogues.

Box Office : As the duo Nivin Pauly and Unni Mukundan have good fan following as well as in-addition Haneef Adeni's previous two super hits also will be a positive factor for Mikhael's good theater run. Expected to be the top runner of 2019 as far released.
