Mr.Fraud is a watchable entertainer. Neatly crafted script directed with Technical Finesse.The movie was definitely stylish.( My definition of style is not walking in slow motion. It's the way the characters are presented and how they carry themselves in a stylish manner. BGM can only act as a catalyst). B.Unnikrishnan has orchestrated the scenes pretty well and managed to cover up for the wafer thin story line.Even though the climax was predictable, it was neatly executed. I would rate this movie above his Grand master in all aspects, but didn't reach to the level of his earlier one - "Tiger". All actors did their job pretty well. Siddique and Saikumar excelled in their respective roles. Mohanlal was mesmerizing, to say the least. Subtle and powerful performance. One should appreciate the effort taken by Unnikrishnan and crew to come up with this genre of movie in Malayalam. It's not an easy job at all and small flaws in script can result in movie becoming a disaster. That is where Unnikrishnan has succeeded. Nothing much to say about the first and third songs. Second song is enjoyable for semi classical lovers. Mohanlal's 5th attire in the end sequence was funny and avoidable. Only buffoonery in the movie was that. If you are a Mohanlal fan, it's a must must watch. If you are a neutral movie lover, you can definitely watch it without getting bored and get entertained. I belong to the latter category, and I enjoyed the movie. PS - I am not comparing this with Dhoom, as Malayalam film industry cannot afford to create such a movie. This is an entertainer compared to movies like "Lokpal, Gangseter, Daivathinte swantham Cleetus, Karmayodha, Singaravelan, Kammath & Kammath etc".
