action hero biju malayalam movie free download hd User Reviews. This is one of those movies for which IMDb can effectively disable the spoiler button and it would make no difference since the movie has no storyline and thus nobody can spoil the plot for those who are yet to watch it. I have seen more than my fair share of movies. I have seen absolute gems like 'Castaway on the Moon' that very few people would have been privileged enough to watch. I have seen horrendous movies like 'The Chosen One' starring Rob Schneider that even he himself probably did not watch. However this is the first time ever that I have seen a movie without the slightest semblance of a storyline. Action Hero Biju is borderline biography. If you are expecting a movie in which the protagonist uses words like 'Boombastic' repeatedly and beats up politicians just for fun, this is not it. If you are expecting a movie with comedy in the first half and mind boggling suspense in the second half then , this is not it either. If a camera crew followed a honest yet tough police officer around for a month keeping track of the day to day functioning of a police station ,then this would be it. Action Hero Biju is not everyone's cup of tea. This is one of those movies that will split moviegoers opinions down the middle. Half the audience will leave the theater disappointed because this is not what they have come to expect from action movies/thrillers/police oriented movies. The other half will stand up and applaud the director for a very unique way of making a movie without a concrete plot. It is simply a series of complaints that Sub Inspector Biju Paulose handles to the best of his ability. Sounds simple enough but it is the execution of this sequence of events, the attention to details, the simplistic humour, that is the strength of the movie. It kind of reminds you of the movie 'Signs' which was not very well received because the audience over the years had come to accept that the only way to defeat Aliens would be if the American Military bombed the living daylight out of them. So when someone made a very good movie about Aliens having to retreat simply because they could not adapt to water it was met with thumbs-downs and brickbats. Action Hero Biju is arguably Nivin Pauly's best movie to date in terms of acting prowess. Even in Premam his acting skills would come into questions during the scenes where he had to exhibit sheer anger . This one is a near flawless performance. He manages to transition effortlessly from funny cop to tough cop from time to time. One of the brightest spots about the movie is the casting. Though it is a very extensive cast , every single individual comes up with extremely convincing performances. A lot of the cast members might have probably never stood in front of a video camera before but it never shows that they were cast from oblivion and will probably return to oblivion. If there was an Award for Best Ensemble Cast this one would win it convincingly. While every single cast member is at least on par there are a couple of performances that over shine the rest, especially the short toothless drunkard who sings and Suraj Venjaramoodu as the helpless husband whose wife elopes with his friend. There is a show called Bosch that airs on the FX channel. Before Bosch every police show was about that one cop who took on crime single- handedly,gave two hoots about the system and never got along with his co-workers or bosses. Detective Harry Bosch follows procedure to the book , gets along well with everyone and still solves crime. Bosch is a refreshing change from the run of the mill crime shows. Action Hero Biju is the Bosch of Malayalam cinema. If you asked me a month from today I might not be able to describe the movie scene for scene. However what I can tell you that today I spend two and a half hours thoroughly enjoying a very well acted, well cast , funny , well directed movie as did most of the people in the theater. If you watch it with an open mind nothing will stop you from enjoying it. Watch it because it is different. This movie was awesome. I had a smile on my face as the end credits were rolling in. I was so engaged throughout the film, my eyes were glued to the screen. In one word, it was entertaining. Action Hero Biju is different from other kinda cop films usually seen in Indian commercial cinema. This one is very realistic in style and shows the day to day activities of Sub-inspector Biju (Nivin Pauly). I was emotionally connected to the different cases Biju had to encounter. Nivin Pauly performed well for the most part, he was the apt choice to play SI Biju. The supporting cast all played their parts well, especially Suraj Venjaramoodu who gave a brilliant performance. The cinematography was good. Loved some of the shots in the film. That definitely gave a different perspective from the usual cop films. Jerry Amaldev's songs were good and the heroine was okay though most of her scenes seemed unnecessary. Overall, an engaging and entertaining picture. Malayalam cinema is going through a good phase. Adipoli! 8/10. At the moment in Malayalam cinema, we have independent and experimental and new wave and creative films on one hand and masala entertainers and potboilers on the other. This film falls on neither, for it is a massively artistic venture by a team who previously gave us a film with similar undertones. Biju (Pauly) is a smart, suave, learned, fit, righteous, and almost self-righteous human being with a paunch who shoved his bunch of educational degrees aside and signed up to become a policeman, now with a glamorous work history of five years. So when people come to him with problems aplenty, he turns his station into a court of sorts and begins his people-friendly (jana-mythiri?!) policing and somehow manages to settle those problems. Always. Whether by his severe bashing-up routine or by shaping his piercing mustache's burns so that the man in front of him pees without even opening his fly - Biju settles the case. That is the fictional tale of a policeman's work - and what the film is all about. If you were to go to the Muvattupuzha police station and have a sneak peek, you wouldn't find Biju, nor would you find him or any policeman like him in Kadavanthara police station. Maybe in Angamaly? Nah. Why? Because what the makers have created here is a fictitious depiction of an ideal policeman, of course, with respect to the current times which are hard and harrowed. So while one cannot call the film a 'true case,' it definitely is entertaining if not believable. Biju handles all sorts of cases: from drug busts to catching 'freaks' (or 'freakers') with afros and fade-in hairstyles, theft cases, family issues, and awkward love stories to name a few, which are all, unfortunately, the current topics doing the rounds in our police stations. The social touch given by the makers is absolutely relevant and true to the effect that we need policemen like Biju. Nivin Pauly is, without a doubt, brilliant. Just brilliant in his portrayal of this suave and sharp cop who doesn't open his hands bare to be greased by henpecked ministers or those powerhouses that we see in other movies. He knows to smash words up their noses and still have no fear of suspension or transfer, because, did you forget, this is fiction! Venjaramoodu is good, but I won't call his portrayal great because it's his sympathy- attracting character that rolls the dice. We all know he is a good actor unless he starts blabbering 'valippu!' I am straining on the film being a fiction not because other similar films aren't, but because the gist of the film lies in this fictionalization of a real-life character who we all see and sometimes (often due to bad things) encounter. As a result, it definitely has its flaws, but the clever elements employed in showcasing policemen at work without involving bureaucracy is the mastery the film reflects. However, people shouldn't believe everything that they see, and with this film, this warning becomes bolder. You will still be going through a plight and the worse days of your life if you are caught with a drug smuggler. Well-directed and aptly shot sequences takes the audience on a field trip to not the life exactly, but the profession of a cop. The intricacies are shown to some extent and it causes joy. A newbie is cast as Biju's fiancée because all she does is talk to him on the phone in a montage that is more music than audio. But I won't blame anyone here, because if you observe the films coming out lately (since 2013), every other one has a new face for an actress. It's because films nowadays are filled with testosterone and mostly narrate stories centred on a male protagonist. Actresses are even behind supporting actors, only put there to satiate the male gaze or to add a romantic tone to the film. People may not even go to the cinemas if the film doesn't have an actress.
