If we take the last couple of films of Mammootty, there is either class or mass in it. His latest film Fireman
doesn't have either of these but is a watchable experience and finally
director Deepu Karunakaran has something to cheer about after his
unsuccessful previous flicks that did not evoke much interest at the box
office. Within the limited framework of our Malayalam film industry,
director has succeeded in presenting a
first of a kind mission operation of a fire rescue team that is not
perfect in every sense but definitely the movie is an above average one
that cannot be discarded.
Vijay is an officer of Fire and Safety wing and the film is centered around a rescue operation by his team. Their mission or task is to save city from a gas tanker from exploding that falls from its vehicle as a result of an accident.
Nothing unpredictable in the film from the start till the end and one can easily guess what will happen next. Also the film follow the traditional or conventional way of story telling without any of those "new generation stuffs". And to my knowledge and as claimed by the makers, a movie on a rescue mission from a fire fighting team is the first of its kind in Malayalam. If this piece is wrong, please correct me.
Direction has its flaws and dialogues at places did not go well but overall if you take the movie, it is presented well and did not make a boring experience on screen.
On the acting side, it was quite an easy role for Mammootty and from the look of things he had to put in some efforts physically as a Fireman to carry and operate those fire fighting equipments. Unni Mukundan could have been better while Siddhique, Sadiq, Nyla Usha and Salim Kumar played their part on the supporting side.
Technically the film is just passable. Cinematography and edits were okay. Visual effects were not that impressive and could have been done better. May be a bigger budget may have stopped the makers from spending lavishly on that aspect. No songs are in the film as per the demands of the storyline but background score from Rahul Raj was done quite well and created the right mood and tension.
Overall, Fireman dedicated to all the fire fighting staff of our country is a watchable above average film. Not a perfect fire fighting mission but in the end it does not let you down either and my personal rating for this movie is three out of five.
Rating - 3 / 5
