Fireman (film)
Vijay predicts that the tanker accident was pre-planned by a man identified as Achari, to break his criminal friend out of the central jail.The next day, Vijay and his team, who are supposed to attend the funeral of their dear colleagues, get an emergency call and decide to thwart the accident.[2][14][15][16][17] Deepa Soman, writing for The Times of India, rated the film 3.5 out of 5 and said, "The movie keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout and there is no dull moment.The freshness of the subject and its intention in recognizing the tribe of firemen is commendable," and she appreciated Mammootty for his performance as a fireman.Still it has all elements in place to keep the critics quiet, satiate the fans and common audience alike in the days ahead.""[19] Applauding the film's cast and performances, direction, cinematography, editing and score, but criticising the graphics works and the incompleteness in screenplay, Akhila Menon of Filmibeat.com gave a rating 2.5 out of 5 and wrote a verdict, "Kudos to team for materialising India's first fire force based movie."[21] Pramod Thomas of The New Indian Express, however, said, "The movie throws cold water on the fire of expectations of an average spectator.The only saving grace of the film is that it tells a hitherto untold story of the heroics of firemen and deserves a salute for the same.
