Rasaleela can be seen in your third rate Telugu movies and not in malayalam movies.

Only good thing in Second show

was that it showcased Sunny Wayne (Kurudi) who is definelty a powerhouse performer (Check his brief but effective cameo in Thattathin Marayath as Majeed leader of the Smart Boys gang) Dulquer was just so so and movie was average

korean touch???????..this will be a new piece of information for the director himself. \second show was an amateurish movie in its every department..

Bachelor touch had a Korean touch. In fact Korea asked for director Amal Neerad to be deported there for torture, after they saw how badly he copied their movie

Bachelor party was inspired from Hongkong director Johny To's "Exiled", not from any Korean Movie!

Year 2012 was not a good year for Malayalam film industry. Hope we can expect good movies in the year 2013.

Not second show
by dicktracy on Jan 02, 2013 01:53 PM  | Hide replies

but ANT instead would be correct, And a honourable mention for Spirit, the only Superstar movie that made the cut last year.
Grandmaster was a tepid thriller, and others including Flopmaster Mamootys movies were duds.

My top ten list for the year would be:

1. Ee Adutha Kalathu
2. 22Fk
3. ANT
4. Diamond Necklace
5.Ordinary
6. Thattathin Marayathu
7.Spirit
8.My Boss (the better Dileep comedy of the year)
9. Da Thadiya/Friday (both were a bit above average)
10. Trivandrum Lodge/Ozhimuri/Akashathinte Niram

Trivandrum lodge was a huge letdown...it had good photography,.performance ,music but the content was not effectively presented...Beautiful in 2011 was a much better movie from Anoop Menons stable...the biggest problem with Trivandrum Lodge was though it attempted some daring dialogues the content especially the selling of the lodge did not have any emotional impact on the audience...the movie just seemed to be going on without any meaning

Friday ,Ozhimuri should have been in the list instead of the average Second Show and also Mohanlals Spirit was good...not seen Da Thadiya so saving comments for it later...

Good List, take out Trivandrum Lodge maybe, that was a mixed bag, Jaysurya was excellent, Dialogues and music in parts was good but also too much at times

True Arike and Manjadikuru should have been included. Dude have you seen Baavuti? Its just a spruced up version of the old Raapakal, even Mammooty has nothing much to do actin wise. Only merit is that among all his releases this was the only decent one, nothing more. He will redeem himself this year with Lal joses Emmanuel i feel .
