sequel

.

A netizen on X stated that one should try to watch the film with an open mind, “Whoever claimed that this movie was bad should to see it again with an open mind. The story, the music and the visuals were all homages to vintage western spaghetti movies, as everyone has already mentioned. This film doesn't deserve this fate. #MalaikottaiVaaliban.”

A cinephile wasn’t that enthusiastic about the film, however, expressed the anticipation for the sequel, as the climax hooked the person. “#Mohanlal & Lijo would’ve been disappointed but me would love a sequel on #MalaikottaiVaaliban where they have rectified the drawbacks. The Tail End was premium Dank!& 3 cheers for the concept @Mohanlal,” the post read. https://twitter.com/mattskumar/status/1760888445558485292
Another netizen noted that if there wasn’t so much buzz prior to the release, the film would have clicked with the audience, “If there hadn't been undue hype, this particular introduction scene and the subsequent epic fight scene would have garnered much more appreciation!”

Another movie lover wrote, “When Stanley Kubrick meets Sergio Leone. Lijo's aesthetics with Lalettan's layered performance is fresh to watch. Loved it

#MalaikottaiVaaliban.”

A netizen wrote, “Watched Malaikottai Vaaliban. It was a good experience. The background bgm during fight sequence was very annoying. Lalettan perfo. Emotions. Screenplay could have been better. Tale end of the film really demands second part.”
