‘Thallumaala’ movie review: Tovino Thomas stars in all-out fight fest, with the depth of a social media reel
The HinduA kick to the jaw at the interval and a thorough, mind-numbing rinsing at the climax. Thallumaala Director: Khalid Rahman Cast: Tovino Thomas, Kalyani Priyadarshan, Shine Tom Chacko Runtime: 140 minutes Storyline: Wazim, who shot to fame after a fight at his own wedding with a popular vlogger, has to stand up to a cop who tries to win over the vlogger’s heart One of the few sequences in the film without any fights helps us put a finger on why some parts of this bloody spectacle actually works on screen. Thallumaala is a film in which the fight choreographer has much more to do than the scriptwriters Muhsin Parari and Ashraf Hamza. Among the many carefully-planned set pieces, the ones which stand out, are an all-out free-for-all inside a theatre — with the screen literally going up in flames — and a hilarious one inside an SUV. Even with all its craft, Thallumaala at best has the depth of a social media reel.
