Gold review: What worked and didn't in Prithviraj,
Alphonse Puthren's film
What worked: direction
Alphonse Puthren's brilliant filmmaking made usual sequences in Gold, even more engaging
What didn't: SCRIPT
Gold had a wafer-thin plot and after the novelty of presentation faded away, it wasn't engaging enough
What worked: cameos
From Nayanthara to Soubin Shahir, from Roshan Mathew to Sharafudheen, the film was packed to the brim with stars
What didn't: duration
At a runtime of 2h 45 mins, the film was overlong and Alphonse's craft seemed self-indulgent after a point
What worked: Prithviraj
Prithviraj aced his role as Joshy, bringing humour to suspenseful scenes in the film
What didn't: subplots
The subplots involving the two father-in-laws, goons and cops became insipid and redundant
What worked: MUSIC
The BGM and songs by composer Rajesh Murugesan and lyricist Shabareesh Varma added zest to the film
What didn't: climax
The climax of the film seem to serve the superstar image of its lead actor, rather than the story itself
What worked: humour
Some of the comic scenes involving Shabareesh, Lalu Alex and Shammi Thilakan had the audience in splits
