Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

anirudhshiji I watched this movie in theatre with no big expectations. But this movie turned out to be one of my favorite movies of 2012.About the story , it is a usual story but newcomer Srinath Rajendran has made it interesting and really entertaining. The twist at the end was great .About acting , Dulquer Salmaan , the son of superstar Mammotty , has done an excellent job as Lalu alias Harilal , which is quite strange for a debut performance . Sunny Wayne has also done a good job.I felt the music was quite average but it is entertaining.VERDICT: An entertaining crime drama with excellent performances from the cast .

Cinish Narayanan This being a personal favorite, this is more a blog and less a review.The purpose of this writeup is to find out for myself why I like this movie a lot and why I tend to go back to this time and again in youtube.The movie is full of 'thara humor' ( poor jokes with a stark disregard for various things at various points.) I enjoy such poor jokes a lot and this movie keeps the string of humor alive all through the movie.The bold , risky and out of line lives that the protagonists are leading has a tendency to attract people like me who have led a more or less well defined youth life. I have not had friends who would get into trouble for my sake nor would I take any undue trouble for the sake of my friends. And I miss that kind of life. I miss having friends who would standup for me and I miss having friends I would standup for - all the way, risking lives/ physical pain.I miss having exercised a lot of guts in my life. Life has been pretty easy and straight forward and I have never let my heart run away. The life in the movie is definitely not advisable in real life. That is what movies are for - to live lives unlivable.The plot was quite engaging and kept the life of the movie going but that is not the central piece of the movie .When two viewers discuss the movie , the last thing they would discuss would be the details of the plot. The situations in the movie and humor in the movie is what people would discuss. With regards to performance, Dulqar and Sunny Wayne have both done excellent renditions. The situations in the movie are fresh and with a peculiar humor. The songs by Avial are interesting too with a very traditional Kerala touch.Various times I have picked this up just to watch either Dulqar/Sunny Wayne's performances. The climax is slightly unconvincing but that is fine. To summarize, from an objective review perspective, watch the movie for Dulqar Sunny Wayne Avial's songs Humorous situations/threads.And from my side, personally the reason the movie attracted me is that I have not experienced a lot of camaraderie in my life and I am trying to live it through the movie.

Binoy Santhakumar (bonzybino) Seen it all elsewhere, in different movies in different languages, could easily spot shades of movie making style from Quentin Tarentino & Guy Ritchie. whoa whoa whoa!! hold it right there, its a malayalam movie man. And that's where "Second Show" wins albeit its a run-of-the-mill gangster movie.The narrative style and the background score, the comedic element, the cuts and mixing which reminded me of Guy Ritchie movies, the violence galore and the rush of blood youtheism are all well packed in this stylish gangster movie. Fresh faces only helped the aberration, everything blending well for the movie. Dulqar Salman gets an ideal launch vehicle but his dialog deliveries and intonations have plenty of room for improvement. Sunny Wane as Nelson Mandela steals the show. The casting were all good. A word of caution for women and family audience - this is a strict no no!! I loved the fact that i watched a malayalam gangster movie with some stylishness and substance - at least the manner in which the movie was made deserves appreciation. Alright, drawing comparisons with the likes of "Bigfellas" seems ridiculous, but yes, lets call it a desified version of such Gangster movies handsomely made.
