Lag is very high

[danieljames-dj · 5/10 · 12 September 2020]

The movie doesn't have much story, I didn't like it. The lag was also too much.

A Cinema Kerala Audience shouldn't miss..

Mammootty was going through a patch for a small period and here,he is back with a bang.The megactor atlast got a superb role to enact his brilliance and as expected ,he has accepted it with both hands.A scintillating performance from Mammooty with his emotions and acting in a method which confuses audience and make them think whether he is the hero or the villain

On the performance side, Mammootty has given a well-balanced act. With a lot of mystery built around his character, the veteran actor didn?t give away anything. His casual smirk, sudden bust of anger and coquettish demeanor were a treat to watch. From the outset, one might feel that KK is not really a challenging character for an actor like Mammootty but it is his subtle performance that makes one think so. Another top notch performance came from Muthumani who enacted the role of Karthika?s mother.She was in brilliant form with her emotions and dialogues.She asked the questions that whole mothers of the state would like to be asked.Joy Mathew was good in his role and it was a decent performance from the heroine Karthika.

First of all , we must appreciate the screenplayist Joy Mathew.He has handled such a subject that our society is handling or going through in the current situation.His dialogues,his characterization and his brilliance in giving the important dialogues for an actress was also appreciable. Girish Damodar as a debutant has done a superb job but still he should have been a bit better but if we consider he as a debutant,we can ignore.First half goes in a good pace with thrilling mood and second half dropped its pace in Initial phase but Final 20 minutes were damn Excellent.

A socially responsible script.

A movie which didn't hit the audience, don't know why this happen again. Unfortunate ! . A socially committed movie could've gone so far than what happened. Development of the plot was mysterious when it comes to the role played by Mammotty. And the casting done for the daughter played by Karthika is not fitting in the space. . A question that writer got to ask has been highlighted in the last 20 mins. In between he couldn't find the space that makes the audience worth watching. Because it was too dragging to just tell you what it has to tell in the end. Otherwise he could've added sub plots to make it more responsible. . Again a directorial failure but with a good script in hand.

A stretched dot

[harelives · 6/10 · 5 November 2018]

It's a simple story stretched in to two and half hours. And you feel it through out. If you are a malayalam fan, you know how they tweak the story to make your feelings vary along the way. This is just like that. But it has enjoyable moments. Some good sceneries and all. And Mammotty is always a pleasant actor.

Below average

[gireesh-prasad81 · 3/10 · 28 April 2018]

Storyline is a huge drag..and boring and well waste of time

A fine effort

[jordansteel · 6/10 · 13 September 2020]

Firstly, I have seen this called a thriller in certain places which is not true. Those who perceive tension building or questioning uncles character have not got the gist of the movie. It is made abundantly clear that Uncles character is never in question. He could have manipulated the girl at any time if he wanted to. Waiting for anything on that line is a misunderstanding of the plot. The movie us more to be looked at from the point of view of the journey and the social message it sends. Not from a plot perspective cos there isnt much there. The scenery, the surrounding are the icing to it. Could have trimmed the length a little, apart from that its a fine effort.

another boring and appalling one from mammotty

[vishaaalu · 1/10 · 2 May 2018]

I dont know why would someone act in such a film with a very fragile storyline and the one which has a pace slower than a sloth. those who want towaste their 2 hours can go fot it

Uncle:A Timely Movie

[smrazvpz · 10/10 · 28 April 2018]

Joy Mathew's script after acclaimed Shutter won't disappoint you. A real good one!!! Neatly handled the direction of the movie by debutante Gireesh Damodar

When come to acting, Mammootty again amazes us with his intriguing and subtle performance.Everyone has done justice to their character.Muthumani,Joy Mathew and Karthika need a special mention!!!!

Overall a must watch film with an excellent message!!! Don't miss it!!

PS: Not a real thriller like Shutter but it will fill your heart for sure!!!

Capsule Review: Uncle (6 Stars)

[nairtejas · 6/10 · 28 July 2018]

If Girish Damodar had trimmed his debut feature by 30 minutes it would have made for a more entertaining show. But still in its current form, Uncle is a great description of the current harried times we live in. Mammootty plays KK, a bachelor of sorts in this road movie and who seems like a man of principles. He is known among his friends as a philandering womanizer who roams around for business trips and dips his beak in the water while at it. Such a perception - where he does not have any principles - puts one of his friends in dire straits when he learns that KK is now driving on his way from Tamil Nadu to Kerala along with his daughter. The friend's anxiety is synonymous with what the society thinks will happen between KK and this minor-aged college student. The same feeling is what the audience goes through as the film takes them on a long road trip between the two Indian states, giving enough dose to detect something amiss. And that is where director Damodar hits gold. Despite the overlong narrative that starts to bore after the first hour, Uncle manages to make its point. I am ready to ignore the preachy undertone of the climax, but the film does earn some brownie points because of its depiction of the people at large. How hatred, insensitivity, and police apathy come together to create a world that live by stereotypes is what Uncle aims to send out. Except for Karthika Muraleedharan (who has been well cast, BTW), the entire cast do a great job, most notably Mammootty himself and Muthumani. Joy Mathew is also a treat to watch as he portrays the fears of a responsible dad with absolute finesse. There is a strong message in Uncle, and for that alone, I would recommend it. From a cinematic point of view, it still is a long shot from being called the best. Amateur sequences involving cars, slippery dialogues, and a general roughness in the screenplay are to be blamed. TN.

Very Lagging and Borning

[kiranrs-16897 · 1/10 · 5 May 2018]

This is a very boring film. Climax is little better.Film has unwanted mobile calls is very irritating.

Uncle

[santhosh-10290 · 1/10 · 5 June 2019]

Worst Movie. Everybody acted very well in the movie. Mammootty's Character was not at all understood in this movie. The movie had no interesting scenes. The movie was so boring without any story. The movie had many unwanted characters and unwanted scenes. The movie lagged a lot. Worst Movie.

Not engaging at all...Disappointed..

[joppanLive · 2/10 · 10 August 2018]

This movie could have been told in 20 mins, instead of dragging it to 2:25 hrs. I felt this movie almost boring, and didn't expect a Mammotty movie to be this empty. Though the message of the movie is clear and loud, the development of that message into a full fledged movie failed miserably as it lacks the desired enthusiasm and the much needed suspense element that a movie in this genre requires.

Don't watch

[jubssss112 · 1/10 · 4 December 2018]

Pure waste of time. 10 minutes of story stretched to 2.5 hours

Most irritating borinh film in Mammooty's career !

[rajikn-73222 · 3/10 · 28 September 2022]

I couldn't believe this is the same director of Shutter...such a boring dragging film...never felt so frustrated, u expect some kind of story, u even imagine this could turn out to be a thriller, but this is one big bore of a film that can satisfy only it's director...the climax scene potrays clearly that the director is a leftist...why bring nonsensical political promotion in a film ?? Actors should stop doing films for the sake of friendship...what could have been strictly a short film (that too not an interesting one) turns out to be a film that tests ur patience...i feel sad for the people who watched this film at the theatres...i'm sure it's one of their most frustrating disappointing movie going experiences in their life which is unforgettable...

Will make you wonder when a plot twist will happen but it never does....BORING

[jacob_speeds · 4/10 · 4 August 2018]

I decided to watch this after seeing good ratings and reviews online but I really shouldn't have even attempted to watch it. The beginning went well and established that something was eerie about the situation of the characters. Tension was very slowly being built up to a point and I was eagerly waiting for the turning point. The movie was getting very close to ending, something so very unexpected by super dull happens and the film ends. Why did I waste my time with this utter bore is beyond me. It's not a Thriller in any way so do me a favor and don't watch this unless it's just for mamooty's performance.
