Reviews

Critical reception for Monster has been mixed, with some reviewers praising the film's high-octane action and Mohanlal's riveting performance, while others criticize its screenplay and pacing. According to 'IMDb', the film holds a rating of 4.4/10, indicating a divided audience. A reviewer from 'Times of India' stated, "Mohanlal's charisma is the film's backbone, and his performance elevates the otherwise predictable storyline." On the other hand, 'Filmfare' commented, "While the action sequences are thrilling, the narrative fails to engage deeply, leaving viewers wanting more substance." 'Rotten Tomatoes' has not given the film a certified score, but user reviews point out the film's entertainment value, with one user mentioning, "If you’re looking for a masala film, 'Monster' fits the bill, but don’t expect a thought-provoking experience." The cinematography received favorable mentions, though some critics noted that the film dragged in portions. Overall, 'Monster' is recognized as a visual spectacle that may not appeal to everyone, yet it has its merits, especially for fans of Mohanlal and action-heavy narratives.
