Reviews
Someone on Reddit (r/MalayalamMovies) said that Malik (Chief) is a combination of superbly shot sequences, and I agree. For that's what Malik is. Nearly 3 hours of intense, captivating cinema going back and forth through the life of a wayward son and his gang as he works towards the betterment of his life and his people while struggling from society, politics, and communalism. It's a masterclass in filmmaking - especially the way it is shot, paced, and performed - that will be essential viewing for film students in India. Watch it.
