the audience applauded

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Blistering performances.

The film is about a police officer who tries to uncover and stop an unknown serial killer who sniped three victims and plans for a fourth one. A villain who kills their good wives as a punishment for their misguided followers. That's the thread of that movie.

Malayalam cinema has produced a bunch of detective movies and unfortunately most of them stands below average because of their unhealthy plots. A few movies stands apart and one of them is Mukham. Unlike a regular detective crap the movie owns a strong plot(Usually an investigation movie ends up in a suspenseful scene where the convict will be one of the actors who showed up least in the movie). Mukham a.k.a face is the story about a police officer played by Mohanlal investigates a series of murders and finds the killer is selective in choosing the victims. I have seen this movie many times and it is one of my favorites and the best.
