Colossal waste of talent in a single movie. Does not live up to the hype. While I appreciate that the proceeds for the movie went to support struggling actors, I was completely disappointed the turn that this predictable movie line took. With so many skilled actors in the mix, I would have expected more than the standard Joshi fight Boom sound formula around a flimsy story line that has so many open ends. Mohanlal in his initial appearance as the criminal arrested mistakenly I thought would render the story line into an unpredictable route however when I saw how Mohanlal's character reverted to his stereotypical savari giri giri role, it was a major let down. The dialogue and twists and turns were predictable. The fight scenes endlessly boring and the songs were awful. I am disappointed in Dileep pairing with Joshi as I know that Dileep as an actor has an eye and ear for profound story lines. Total waste of 2 hours and 44 minutes of time.

A retired Supreme Court judge Vishwanathan (Madhu) returns home to Kerala to hear the mortifying news that one of his grandsons Arun (Indrajith) is accused of murdering a classmate in a medical college in Bangalore.Suresh Gopi plays the investigating officer pitted against the defense counsel Mammootty (who had incidentally qualified to be a lawyer in real life).The third side of the tale's triangle is provided by feudal scion Themmady (meaning rowdy) Devan Pratapa Varma (Mohanlal).The events lead to a climax that can be guessed by virtually everyone in the audience.Mohanlal has the easiest time since he plays the cantankerous character with the same verve depicted by him in similar roles in countless films.Having seen Mammootty in several movies as a lawyer, the role itself doesn't come as a surprise. But, the twists in the tale do the job more than adequately as the star essays his part with skillful, underplayed aplomb.Suresh Gopi as the no-nonsense cop (another role from the star's checkered track record) suits him to the hilt, aided by the script's chiselled dialogue that accentuates his presence.There are enough nerve-racking thrills in the narration as each star tries to outwit the other and the narrative provides the audience enough opportunity to go gaga over their icons.Joshi had earlier cast Mammootty and Mohanlal in offbeat murder mystery "Number 20 Madras Mail" in 1990 with almost equal opportunities.The only flaw of "Twenty 20″ is that its characters are stereotyped all the way. But it is also the movie's unique selling point because it is an obvious endeavour to exploit the stars' images.Camera work by Sukumar is excellent since each matinée idol has been given flattering shots but everything has been put together without offending the other star(s) in the same frame.Suresh Peters' background score etches the taut screenplay and augments the entertainment.In a nutshell, the film has no wonders and by itself that seems like wonderful news due to its packaging.

First of all credit should be given to Dileep and all the members associated with AMMA, in organizing and presenting nearly all the superstars of malayalam industry in one movie. But the film alone was a let down for me. First of all the plot could have had a better or even a different theme, rather than just another ordinary crime/action sequence alone. Also people like Jayaram,Kavya and all them youngsters(Prithviraj,Jayasurya,kunchako etc..) had horribly weak roles. Now I'm not a big fan of all of them but could have been dealt bit better by director Joshi. Climax is guessable.So in a way you could say this film would have been a big flop because of its story; but was saved by the charismatic trio of mohanlal,mammooty and suresh gopi(although gopi is not in the same class as M&M!!). Nevertheless a watchable flick for the young generation viewers and mohanlal fans, but not necessarily one for the oldies.

Finally the movie came. Lemme say its good. Nothing exceptional but its praiseworthy of the movie makers to give important roles to many of the top stars in the movie without affecting the story. The 5 superstars - Mammootty, Mohanlal, Suresh Gopi, Jayaram & Dileep come up trumps with their performance although Jayaram seemed to have the weakest role among the 5. Good songs, nice action sequences and racy scenes impress you about the movie. Actress Bhavana is glamorous. Not many top heroines have worn bold clothing like she did for this movie in Malayalam cinema so far.What stops me from giving full rating are some loopholes in the plot here & there.Anyway, don't think too much & just go to watch your fav star. There's over 50 of 'em to pick from!
