Drama movie review - live updates: Audience say Mohanlal film is another misfired attempt from Ranjith

Director Ranjith's Malayalam movie Drama starring Mohanlal, Arundathi Nag, Shyamaprasad, Asha Sarath and Kaniha has received mixed review and rating from the audience.

Drama is a comedy-drama film and besides direction, Ranjith has also written the script and dialogues for the flick, which has been produced by MK Nassar Maha Subair under the banners Varnachithra Goodline Productions and Lilypad Motion Pictures UK. The movie has received a 'U' certificate from the censor board and its runtime is 2.26 hours.

Drama Malayalam movie story: Set in the UK, Drama follows a hilarious yet enthralling journey of a funeral director, who sets out to fulfil the final wish of one of his clients.

Performances: Mohanlal has delivered a brilliant performance, which is the highlight of Drama. Arundathi Nag, Asha Sarath, Shyamaprasad, Kaniha, Baiju Santhosh, Johny Antony, Subi Suresh, Niranjan, Dileesh Pothan, Suresh Krishna, Tini Tom, Shaalin Zoya, and Renji Panicker have also done good jobs and are assets of the movie, say the audience.

Technical: Drama has decent production values and Bijibal's background score, Vinu Thomas' songs, N Alagappan's cinematography and Ranjith's dialogues are the highlights on the technical front, add the viewers.

#Drama : Just like the central character, all the roles here are dead bodies without any purpose or soul.Even an actor like @Mohanlal overacts to bring the humour which ends up forceful.Barring a few genuine laughs in 1st half a movie which shudnt have happened at all,boring.

#Drama : Another misfired attempt from Ranjith !! Apart from a few laughs and fun moments in the first half the movie doesn't invoke any interest. Ends up with a decent first half followed by a below average second

#Drama : Barring @Mohanlal and co- Actors (male) and few laughable moments in 1st half , #Drama is an absolute letdown both direction wise and script wise.Nothing much to offer from #Renjith and its a waste of 2 and half hours as far as a viewer is concerned

Watchable First Half Apart from few melodrama scenes , Seemed fine Lalettan - Baiju combo works #Drama Waiting for 2nd Half Mediocre 2nd Half spoils #Drama Still worth a watch for the performances of @Mohanlal #Baiju ,#JohnyAntony And #DileeshPothan Ranjith Anna

#Drama Interval : Average First Half With Some Funny Moments From #Mohanlal #Baiju Combo ✌️ #Ranjith Fails To Engage Or Entertain The Audience Because Of His Lazy Writing Overall A Watchable First Half #Drama Review : Story Is All About A Dead Body & It's Funeral , #Ranjith Yet Again Failed To Deliver A Good Product With His Half Baked Script. Overall #Drama Is Watchable All For One Man #Mohanlal For His Effortless Act Supported By #Baiju #JohnyAntony #DileeshPothan
