Odiyan

Odiyan Manikyan returns to his village Thenkurissi after a self-imposed exile of 15 years, following the deaths of two people.

The only times where the movie picks up speed is during its four action scenes, each better than the other, and climax battle of Odiyans taking the cake. 

Mohanlal as the shape shifting Odiyan is on top form, both during the scenes that require to do action and also emote. 

Keeping aside the superstar tag, Mohan Lal did whatever he could do for the film with utmost dedication and commitment.

One of the major drawbacks of the film is that it is has a slow-paced narration with not many gripping scenes throughout the film. 

On the whole, Odiyan is a pretty regular revenge drama which lacks proper punch in it. Though Mohan Lal did justice to his role, 

Mohanlal is outstanding in the film. He played his character very well in the movie and the transformation he has shown is very much inspiring.

The film has got a decent camera work. Shaji Kumar’s cinematography is impressive as all the visuals have come out well. The music is scored by M Jayachandran and the background score of the movie is outstanding. 

The film Odiyan has a decent point but the director has conveyed it poorly. The narrative structure of the film hardly makes an impression.
