This is really an excellent review. Keerthichakra is just an average movie.Don't expect anything extraordinary. It's just normal movie with all masalas.It can be well named a Masala Patriotic Tamil Movie(remember RB Choudhary is the Producer). If it's enjoying a good initial pull Lal's star value is the only reason.See the Tamil version is already bombed at the B.O. One wonders if the director had really been part of Indian Army. I really don't understand the role of Sphatikam George, Shammi Thilakan, Kochin Haneefa, Biju menon, Swetha Menon etc. The only good thing about the movie is the encounter in the climax.

@kumar i think you are talking about Aran, you may be one of those who watched the film inTamil Nadu. Its really different fromMalayalm version, Keerthichakra. In malayalam no masalas are added, really a serious patriotic movie. About tamil version, mohanlal itself disowns the tamil movie. So if you are a tamilaian go and write this review to Aran. I am person who watched both Malayalam version is really worth. No phaltoo comedy scenes and masalas there. So please keep some sense. You've written the comment in a wrong forum.You can write this message for Aran review. It may be a masala tamil movie. But its a serious patriotic malayalam movie. Watch both and feel the difference.

Gentleman,
What ever I've said is about the Malayalam version. I really feel that you are a hardcore Lal fan( Don't worry he nor the rest had nothing to perform as the characterization was poor.) Would u have called it an excellent movie if Lal was not the leading actor . I really doubt. I would reiterate, the only highlight of the movie is the Hindi( or Kashmiri whatever) song and the encounter in the climax. Some scenes are captured realistically as well. Can u justify the role of Sphatikam George( I feel it was created only for the hero to make some bombastic dialogues.) and the Guy who listens to a Radio and later gets killed in an encounter( Can you deny if I say it was copied from a Hollywood war film- don't remember the name, Vinayan's War and Love has a similar character), Kochin Haneefa, Shammi Thilakan,Two Comedians from Tamil, Swetha Menon( I don't understand the logic why the director wanted involve human rights commission in a Terrorists killing ... :-) )and Biju Menon etc. etc... Can U tell the Villain and Shammi Thilakan has done justice to their roles?? Moreover there is no flow and no completion of the scenes .
