But these potentially interesting moments are left as loose threads, in order to make the scenes grand and over-the-top. Whenever the villain uses the same method to kill multiple people on the hero's side, we all know how the villain is going to die, don't we? When the director establishes that the region the film is set in doesn't have cars, we secretly hope that the film would take us by surprise. The screenplay is lazy and predictable to the T. Lack of novelty is another problem the film faces. Although Nedumudi Venu, Jai, Anushree and Mahima Nambiar's characters emote well, there is a feeling that they could have been used better. A lot of banal scenes get spiced up because of what he does. The other characters appear as mere props, barring Salim Kumar who appears as novelist Manoharan. In the climax fight sequences, it becomes long enough to pull a lever that's easily a few meters away. And what's his superpower? His towel's length increases as and when he wishes. But writer Udayakrishna and Vysakh, the director makes him a superhero of sorts. We know he is the Megastar and it is okay to have scenes to satisfy his fans. He has delivered the role in a style that is needed for a commercial mass movie. We see Mammootty in a larger than a larger-than-life avatar, who has a solution to any problem. But later on, this transforms into a film that comments on politics, and that's where things spiral downwards. 'Madhura' Raja (Mammootty) comes down to the town of Pambinthuruth to bail out his father and uncle from a case. There are jokes thrown around mercilessly, half of which don't work, but it doesn't make you frown. Megastar Mammootty's Madhura Raja starts off as a family drama that doesn't take itself seriously.
