Parole (2018) User Reviews

Same Self Sacrificial Goat story line

[jkumarm-61948 · 3/10 · 15 July 2019]

So very typical. Writers & directors alike can never move away from the most used Indian story line of the self sacrificial goat story. Please go & learn to move away from these kind of BORING scripts

Five Star Torture

[megaelecs · 2/10 · 6 April 2018]

Five Star Torture One more torture movie running for almost two and half hours from Mamooty. A movie with a BAD message and a movie laced with tragic incidences. Most of the film-goers watch movies as an entertainer and NOT for torture. High time Mamooty seeks retirement from film world. Only postie point is good location and good photography. A movie definitely NOT worth watching. Just time waste and money waste.

Molecule Review: Parole

[nairtejas · 3/10 · 14 June 2018]

Sharrath Sandith's Parole is an experiment in nonsense. It has a story that sends out a wrong message in the name of kinship, is played out by amateur actors, and goes on for eternity at about 150 minutes, ultimately ending at a note that will make you cringe with pain. Mammootty plays a good man (as always) who wishes that only good happen to other people. But things go massively wrong for him and his family when he is wrongly accused of a sorry crime and is sentenced to life. It is how he tries to absolve his actions eight years from then by going out on a parole is what writer Ajith Poojappura uses to create what hardly looks like a family drama. It sets out to showcase how far a man will go to save his family's life, and ends up vomiting on itself. I don't see any justification in what the protagonist does here, making me question the makers' motivation behind spending so much money to produce this drivel. Except Siddique, Suraj Venjaramoodu, and in only a few sequences Mammootty, everyone else put up a very amateur show, which again highlights director Sandith's novice ways. Parole has been presented like a big drama that tries to impart values, but much like the question of righteousness we all had after watching Jeethu Joseph's Drishyam in 2013, the question asks itself here right from the start of the second half. I do not recommend Parole at all, even though it has a fairly watchable and entertaining first half. TN.

Parole isn't a party film and it doesn't pretend to be one

[CobertNeede · 3/10 · 17 April 2018]

Mammooty is now renowned for releasing films in quick succession, much to acknowledge his love for debutants. With his year kick-started with his cop drama, Street Lights , an above average thriller, i could say he is off to a pretty great start.

Parole is a mediocre debut from Sharrath, with the same prison drama pattern repeated all over. With scenes that lag all the way through, save for some great scenes towards the end of the first half, Parole doesn't work at all in the way the director wishes to.

Mammooka's peformance towers over any other positives of the flick and in a way, saved it. All the other performances were above par, but still isn't the type of script that demands strong performances, except the lead.

The true story tagline should have been used to its advantage, although it never feels like one.

A strict one time watch.
