Reviews

IG: Inspector General received predominantly mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 4.3/10, indicating generally poor reception. Critics noted that while Suresh Gopi’s performance was consistent with his usual intense and authoritative style, the film suffered from a predictable plot and lackluster screenplay. Reviewers on platforms like Indiaglitz pointed out that the film failed to create the necessary impact and the pacing was sluggish, diluting the intensity expected from a crime thriller. The action sequences were standard fare but did not bring any novelty to the genre. Despite the strong presence of the lead actor, many felt that the storyline was formulaic and did not take inventive risks. The movie was also criticized for failing to deeply explore the potential complexities of its central theme, resulting in a somewhat superficial treatment of crime and police confrontation. However, some viewers appreciated the nostalgic element of Suresh Gopi’s larger-than-life police persona, which remains a staple in Malayalam cinema. Overall, IG: Inspector General works as a moderate entertainer for fans of the actor but did not garner widespread critical acclaim or audience enthusiasm.
