Spoilers ahead…
Even after a tragic backstory, Mammootty is asked to do so little that he powers along solely on the basis of his charisma.
No means no. That’s what Christopher (Mammootty) wants for women. But very often, toxic and powerful men do not take no for an answer – and the women end up punished. It’s been a while since I have seen women put through as many gruesome rapes and burnings and other forms of torture. Christopher is the cop who ensures that the men responsible for these crimes end up being punished. He simply shoots them. It’s been a while since I have seen a cop so trigger-happy, even in the midst of crowds. There’s probably a genuinely serious drama to be made about how – at least from a certain point of view – extrajudicial killings are the only way to punish those who have the power to escape the clutches of the law. But Christopher, directed by B Unnikrishnan, is not that movie.

Seeing the anger and frustration in this review, I’m thinking it may be possible to devise a sequel to Chup in which an earnest film critic quenches his fury by murdering lazy / hypocritical movie-makers.
Chup 2 – Tu Chup!

But unlike Tamil / Telugu stars , Mammootty will immediately release a movie that has him perform like a dream and cools down Baddy and the rest of us..
So no tension boss…

Surprised not to find a review of Rorschach here. That movie was astounding. Mallus seem to be the only industry making a significant number of complex, rooted, no-nonsense movies. As much as I hate making blanket statements

I’m sure this film isn’t great, but how come you don’t review — or diss — other B. Unnikrishnan or Mohanlal disasters? Sorry, but can’t help concluding that you’re as biased AGAINST Mammootty as you are TOWARDS Mohanlal.
