Analysis
The story is simple, with the director relying on spoofs and satire to carry the proceedings. While the film has its moments, it gets repetitive. Though the cast delivers what is needed for a comedy film, writing could have been better. Mithra Mandali is a mixed bag, with both entertaining and drag at times.
Siddharth SJ’s cinematography adds value to the proceedings. RR.Dhruvan’s music is entertaining, with funny lyrics and novelty in the BGM. Peekay’s editing is average, with many drags that could have been avoided. The dialogues are funny and engaging.
Mithra Mandali is a decent comedy film that could have been better with more sensible twists and fewer drags. While the performances are commendable, and generates laughs. On a whole, th film is worth watching for fans of satire and comedy. If you’re looking for a light hearted comedy with some satire, Mithra Mandali might be worth a watch.
Rating: 2.75/5
