Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

An absolute waste of money

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Jemima
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

I don't understand ,based on what this movie is taken.Through out the movie ,they have tried hard to adapt some Hollywood stunt elements.The most boring and irresponsible Malayalam Movie ever.No story line, Poor editing, Poor Direction, Worst Music, Horrible dialogues.Apart from some comic scenes,the film is nothing.I wonder if 'Arya' read the script before acting,as we can't see any scope for his role in the movie.Camera work is good,Can give some marks to his work only.I don't understand why some bgms copied from amen.'Prithviraj' and 'Indrajith' are good actors in malayalam,but they have chosen a wrong subject here. Hats off to the poor people who suffered three hours in cinema.

This movie is made just to kill time and empty our pockets.I went to watch this movie only because i was impressed by that director's last movie amen.It was wonderful and i expect something more from this movie.But it made me feel bad for two hours and for the whole day.I suggest everyone kunjiramayanam instead of this bullshit.It at least have a story.But this bullshit not even stink.I never expect this from prithviraj and indrajith.I had a very good impression about prithvi on seeing the movies like memories and 7th day .But this movie destroy that impression.Any one who see this review are requested not to go for this movie.

Lijo Jose Pellisery's "Double Barrel" A.K.A " Eratta Kuzhal which was under production since early 2014 was undoubtedly the most anticipated Mollywood movie of 2015 from my side due to a wide range of reasons,a few being its whooping budget of around 16 crores,the sound technical crew headed by Lijo and of course the presence of an ensemble star-cast including my favourite actor Prithviraj Sukumaran alongside Indrajith,Arya and Asif Ali.A gangster spoof at the first place,Double Barrel is beyond doubt a brave attempt from Lijo Jose Pellisery who has comeout with something different every time he wielded the megaphone.Even though there's still big room for improvement as far as a smooth experience is concerned,Double Barrel,which gives the feeling of reading a comic book will not letdown at least a small section of the movie buffs who love experimental flicks.For a close viewer who loves films from the directors of the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Guy Ritchie,Double Barrel is sure to find a place in the heart with its technical integrity and unorthodox treatment devoid of clichéd elements that we usually come across in films.Visuals by Abhinandan Ramanujan making use of Red Dragon Camera deserves a special mention for the perfection in each frame.Action choreography and visual effects utilized during the shootout sequences too were really impressive but editing by Sathyaraj was pretty mediocre resulting in lack of continuity in between the narration.Music by Prashant Pillai was suiting the narration,but none of the songs can qualify for repeated hearing.The background score by himself was impressive.The slow pace of the narration and inherent lag along with quiet a few numbers that backfired will surely evoke negative response from a major section of the audience and as such a box office success seems laborious for the makers,which was expected once the promos were out.The second half in particular is a roller coaster ride with impressive and sombre sequences tallying with each other resulting in a mixed response once the end credits start to roll on screen.Maybe too much experimentation with the narration keeps the movie far from the reach of the normal mass audience who are looking to chillout for sometime this festival season.Coming to the performances,Prithviraj Sukumaran and Indrajith pulled off the humorous characters Pancho and Vinci convincingly,evoking laughs with their hilarious antics.The foreign actor who portrayed the role of Blacky was refreshing and received claps for his Malayalam version dialogues.Vijay Babu was impressive as Billy.Arya,Sunny Wayne and Chemban Viniod were adequate.Asif Ali had very little screen presence,but did his part well.Among others Rachana Narayanankutty,Sabumon Abdusamad,Pearle Maaney,Sajid Yahiya etc did their job well.Overall,Double Barrel is a bold experiment that's targeted at a niche audience who love avant-garde film making.Nothing more nothing less!! Verdict::August Cinemas's latest endeavour Double Barrel is a rarity in an Industry like Mollywood where experiments come in less number.The 158 long gangster spoof is a roller-coaster ride with its fare share of ups and downs,so my advice is to try it at your own risk if you have taste for experimental movies.
