Good entertainer
sabareeshvv21 February 2019
A good entertainer which integrates good comedy and an average story. Had scope for big improvements but somehow second half was just average. But with first half being excellent, the movie stands out to be good entertainer. Dileep plays the role easily. Aju varghese and Suraj plays their part efficiently. The stunner is siddique with brilliant comic sense and punch dialogues in first half. Mamta is being sidelined. If you have a lazy weekend, go grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy it. Won't disappoint!

Good (But logically speaking...*#$!)
joppanLive26 March 2019
The movie is OK...There is action, fun, suspense, humor (special credit to Siddique for most of it. Aju tried too many to make us laugh, resulting in doing the opposite at several occasions). Could have avoided the logical discrepancies to make the film logically fool-proof. For an example, there need to be too much to believe, one will store a video clip in an unknown locker at a strange place and handover the locker key to someone hoping one day his daughter will somehow come to know about this locker and find the video clip (Adding more, he himself placed a newspaper crossword puzzle and **** Ohh need some imagination to over complicate things like this!). Instead in this internet era, he could have simply store the video clip in a google drive and share the link, or whatsapp, or use youtube/facebook messenger.....million useful efficient simple ways...

One time watch
sheebakattangal21 February 2019
Plot or thread of the movie is brilliant but the execution by the director and script has failed to excite much. I think the production team was confused and got derailed to fix the genre of the movie. Two positives about the movie are actor Sidhic who has done exceptionally well which he alwas do and priya anand, what a beauty to look at. So, its a one time watch since a movie involves so much of hardwork of its crew and no harm intended, Mr B Unnikrishnan pls retire!!!!

Short review
sarathpillaijl14 August 2019
This movie has got many things right. to be honest i never expected this to be a mass masala entertainer. It came out to be a surprise that this one has everything, humour, romance, mass scenes. The social stigma associated with Dileep might be one of the reasons this movie failed in box office. The direction and screenplay was ok. Fight scenes were well choreographed. The cast is perfect. Most of the members did justice to their roles. The story is superb. With twist and turns, it turned out to be the star of the movie. Overall a good movie

This movie shouldn't have been made
ksviknesh14 March 2019
Poor writing, bad (chali) comedy and amateurish direction. Why did they make this movie in the first place? Looked as if Dilip was in a coma before this movie, he is not at all in the movie... Just doing something what the director asked him to do. The story gets interesting from about half of the movie but then the poor script ruines everything. Aju varghese was just being a bafoon. Worthless movie. Do not watch it in the cinemas. 2 stars just for the camera and the last fight scene.

One-Line Review: Kodathi Samaksham Balan Vakeel (2 Stars)
nairtejas28 April 2019
Dileep is the local Sherlock Holmes with a speech impairment in B Unnikrishnan's convoluted and extremely cringeworthy crime drama, Kodathi Samaksham Balan Vakeel (Advocate Balakrishnan in Court), that has one of the most ridiculous plotlines I have seen all year in 2019 so far and which I am confident will be by the end of the year. TN.

A good time pass movie
megaelecs22 February 2019
A good time pass movie with lot of suspense added. Good acting by all characters. Story is interesting and the suspense is well maintained. Stunt scenes resembles Tamil movie stunts - one "He Man" make believe type stunts Unfortunately the crowd was limited to about 50 persons only.

Worst movie of Dileep
aboobackermohsin12 March 2019
I would say this is the worst movie of Dileep. He still struggles to act and thinks his 2000 style acting will still be accepted among all the good new generation movies.

Look at the way he acted when he realized he is hit with stuttering! Masala songs in malayalam in 2019?? What a joke!

Look at bheeman raghu! What a waste.

Now I think I shouldn't look at imdb ratings for movies... Imdb rating is 7.2 and I would say this deserve less than 5.

Never another Dileep movie in my life.

Still missing something
sharoonsrn27 May 2019
B.Unnikrishnan added comedy to his real flavour this time is good to watch.story and screenplay is ok.The comedy works well ,speacial mention for siddique.Dileep did well. Fights are mass appealing.The college episodes are unnecessary.Harish uthaman,s character deosnt shows an antihero with a caliber.The script lacks pace and a makes little confusion which will down the film

Good performance of dileep as stammering advocate
Akshay_mg21 February 2019
It's a very good comedy based thriller. Most of the comedy and counters are by siddeque who plays the father were fabulous. I couldn't control my laugh during his counters. As an investigation thriller it has a twist on its thread. There is also a twist in revealig his best friend it makes a different feel in our heart All in all its a decent investigation thriller

Best film for timepass
abhiramashok28 April 2019
Actually this is a fully packed entertainer with all the elements for a mass masala film but it never makes you disturbed. This film is a jolly ride. But still I am not satisfied by the director's crafting style B.Unnikrishnan done an average work.

Direction:- 2/5 Acting:-3/5 Screenplay:-3/5 Cinematography :-4/5 Music:-4/5 Stunts:-4/5
