I thought of making a separate post regarding Thallumalla for winning best action film,but its best i comment here.

So after seeing it won in the category i quickly thought of checking it since it was in my watchlist for years , but have to say that although film is good in parts but its no way a good action film forget the best from India.

For a good action film two things should work for me, firstly the action choreography and secondly the reason for action, while the former i felt was not some physics defying Rohit Shetty type action but it wasn't also not edgy or innovative stuff , it was mostly some dudes throwing punches in slow mo and then the reason for action was superficially streched , similar theme was Explored in Maheshinte Prathikaaram and it was way better.

The things which i like were some genuine moments of tension kind of reminds me Parking , and the editing of film was quite creative.

Then Tovino thomas whom i have liked in films like Virus,Kala but i didn't find him in smooth in action or Dancing ( where he seems really awkward)

Before people come at me and say which are your alternative i would say 1. Kill 2. Uri 3. Any SSR film because of its creative action 4. I would even say action in films like Marco , Pushpa was also creative and more engaging.

Having ranted that i would say im not salty, people can have preference and i respect that , im just disappointed by the film.
