Mohanlal was most recently seen in ‘Thudarum’, a gripping crime thriller directed by Tharun Moorthy. If you are planning to watch the movie, check out our ETimes review, which reads, “Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Award, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an ‘’80s-’90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around.
