Dear Mammootty, why are you marring your legacy?
Pullikkaran Staraa rests on a wafer-thin plot, forget the lack of focus in the narrative, the over-stretching, the unnecessary scenes (such as that bus accident), the occasional double entendre, the questionable editing and the unremarkable music. The fact is, there are many possibilities staring us in the face in Rajakumaran's training sessions with his teacher students. Those passages genuinely have something to say, but instead of keeping its eye trained on them, the film relegates this part of the hero's life to the margins, remaining obsessed instead with ending his bachelorhood.(more)

This Mammootty starrer disappoints
The director could have done without the 'Tapp Tapp' song and an accident sequence that add no value to an already stretched out narration. Mammootty's Pullikkaran Staraa is not the film we were hoping to watch this Onam.(more)

Pullikkaran Staraa Movie Review
At 135 minutes, neither the star nor the story help the film stand tall on its feet as a decent entertainer. If not a die-hard Mammootty fan, the movie is an avoidable fare.(more)

Manages To Shine At Parts!
Pullikkaran Staraa manages to shine at parts. There are some good moments in the film, which would bring smile on your faces. But, the film heavily depends too much on such scattered moments and thus testing the patience of the audiences, at times. The film definitely is a watchable one but fails to go an extra mile.(more)

Pullikkaran Staara doesn't shine much as it looses focus in the screenplay.
The shallow screenplay and dialogues limit the ability of every actor to continuously enthrall the audience with their comedy numbers. Apart from a few good jokes here and there, even Mammootty who has successfully handled comedy in the past appears to be wobbly. Dileesh Pothan and Innocent's characterisations are disappointing while Deepthi Sathi has done an average job. Asha Sarath has not much to perform but handles her role neatly.(more)
