Reviews
Neelagiri received mixed reviews upon its release and holds an IMDb rating of 5.1/10, indicating a lukewarm response from audiences. Critics praised Mammootty's robust performance, acknowledging his portrayal of Velan as one of the film's strong points. The Indian Express highlighted the film's "engaging narrative and solid action sequences," which kept the viewers invested in the storyline. However, some reviewers pointed out that the film suffered from a predictable plot and lacked innovation in its approach to the action genre, with The Hindu noting, "While the action elements were executed competently, the storyline failed to offer anything substantially new or compelling." On aggregators like IMDb and archived reviews, viewers commended the film's cinematography and music but expressed that the screenplay could have been tighter to elevate the dramatic impact. Although not hailed as a classic, Neelagiri is often appreciated for its entertainment value and Mammootty's star power, making it a notable film for fans of Malayalam action thrillers from that era.
