'Red Wine' - Review

Dear Friends,

There is nothing intoxicates and exhilarating in Salaam Bapu's 'Red Wine' though is the good concept. The film is much higher expected thriller because is a combo of the complete actor Mohanlal and the youngest actors Fahad Fasil and Asif Ali. 'Red Wine' released today and is partially disappointed in the making style. Its opinions are mostly average.  

Story

C.V Anoop (Fahad Fasil), a communist and a drama artist who was murdered in an unusual situation at a lodge room. A police officer named Ratheesh Vasudevan (Mohanlal) who comes to probe into the case and he disclose the real culprit.    

Red Wine's story is exceptionally fantastic in thrillers; the first half keeps some answer less situations and more deviates to some thoughts which are good worthies for a nice thriller. But the film mostly drags in some needless scenes have more outstretched and the climax is wasted.

The fine performances of Mohanlal and Fahad Fasil, are more leading up to the thrilling moments in 'Red Wine'. But their acting aren't remarkable because the poor treatment of the film and actor Asif Ali's performance is seems to be repeating himself. The heroine characters of Anusree, Meghna Raj, Meera Nandan have nothing to do much except the others Miya and debut actress Maria John. T.G.Ravi, Sudhir Karamana, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Jayakrishnan, Sunil Sugatha etc. have done full justice to their roles.

'Red Wine' is fell behind in Salaam Bapu's direction which completely disappointed in its second half. The film's starting is good when Salaam shot the main factors even the simple things. But 'Red Wine' has a speciality; the investigation completely leading through the flashbacks of each characters which are closely linked. Besides as an investigation thriller Mamman.K.Rajan's script offers the friendship, social commitments and some significant issues but he couldn't correctly maintain it. Manoj Pillai's visuals are apt and Ranjan Abraham's edit, Bijipal's theme score and Bg correctly follows the script.

Grade:   Impotent 'Red Wine'

Rating:  2.5/5
