I was very confused whether to analyze the film in the view of a critic or as fan. But, the makers had already told that the movie has been made with fans in mind. So here is my fan’s eye view of Twenty 20.
Twenty 20 is a superb masala entertainer from the word go. The movie is an intended thriller but half the things you see can be predicted 15 minutes into the movie. A special mention about the script writers. The Udayakrishna-Sibi K. Thomas duo have done a fantastic job in sketching out the characters. The characters of the superstars have equal importance. The comedy is what makes the film work apart from the trademark punch dialogues of the stars.
Mohanlal, Mammootty, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram and Dileep share most of the screen time, but the other characters also make their presence felt. For a Malayalam movie fan twenty 20 is a roller coaster ride. Suraaj Venjarumoodu and Salim Kumar steal the show in the comedy department. The actors look good and all of them carry the movie on their shoulders very well. This is the stron point of Twenty 20.
The music is a big letdown apart from ‘He Deewana’ which is colourful and youthful. Costumes of the actors are very good. Camera work and editing are excellent. Action sequences are also very well choreographed. Direction by Joshiy is also good keeping in mind the star power he had to handle. Another special mention of the man behind this well made venture.
The only complaint I have is the movie’s length which is nearly 2 hours 50 minutes.
For a fan, Twenty 20 is an absolutely enjoyable fare. With twists and turns, comedy, action and a truck load of star power, Twenty 20 has the potential to rewrite almost all the existing records in the Malayalam movie industry.
Better music and a 15 minutes less, this movie would have been an almost perfect entertainer.
