Comali Movie Review: Jayam Ravi Does a Fine Job but a Dull Second Half Ruins his Efforts, Say Critics
Jayam Ravi's Comali is the regional release this week and it's a one time watch say some critics. While the actor does a fine job and carries the weight of an entire movie on his able shoulders, it's a weak second half that ruins his efforts. The movie starts on a great note with a promising first half but loses its grip after the interval.
As Bollywood gears up to witness its major box office clash between Akshay Kumar's Mission Mangal and John Abraham's Batla House, South has a major offering in Jayam Ravi's Comali. It revolves around a patient who wakes up from coma after 14 long years and is a comical take on how the world has changed in all these years. Recently the movie was embroiled in a controversy after Rajinikanth's fan opposed a certain scene from the movie. Nonetheless, the movie has finally hit the screens and critics are busy penning some words for the same.
Let's take a look at what the critics have to say about the film...
Firstpost (3/5): "Comali is packaged as a jolly-feel-good entertainer, laced with emotions and nostalgia. The crackling onscreen bonding between Ravi and Yogi makes it enjoyable to a large extent," writes Sreedhar Pillai.
