ReviewDirector Haneef Adeni attempts to give a comic treatment to a heist, with Nivin leading a gang of desperate individuals, but the poorly written script does nothing for the film.If, during the introduction of Nivin Pauly in an SUV in Ramachandra Boss & Co, you dozed off for a bit, you wouldn’t have missed much. Chances are, you will still find him driving the SUV, kicking up sand in the desert for whole minutes, before getting out to allow viewers a preview of himself. That this is one of the more tolerable sequences in the film tells you the amount of lameness awaiting you in the rest. Ramachandra Boss features a bunch of actors who have given memorable performances before, but none of them, including Nivin Pauly, can do much in this badly-wanting script about a heist and all that goes wrong with it.

When Torrent came and movies from any place could be downloaded online (mostly pirated copies and therefore illegal), the CDs stopped selling so much. Torrent sites got banned soon enough and even as the smarter ones found proxies, the interest simply waned with the coming of online streaming sites.

MollywoodEven if you watch the film knowing what to expect of Haneef Adeni, 'Mikhael' is disappointing.Sowmya RajendranHaneef Adeni has, by now, established what to expect from his films. Revenge, style, Biblical allusions, plenty of English dialogues and some family drama driving the whole thing. While his first two films were with veteran actor Mammootty, Mikhael is with Nivin Pauly, one of the younger generation's most promising stars. But even if you go in fully knowing the typical Haneef Adeni fare and the fact that the film is about a "matchless macho" hero, Mikhael falls several notches short. The story has repeat elements from The Great Father and Abrahaminte Santhathikal - a family member is wronged, there's a police officer investigating a crime, and you have the hero playing avenger. The film begins with a confusing sequence that introduces us to numerous characters, none of them leaving much of an impact.
