‘Dheeran’ Opens To Mixed Social Media Buzz: Netizens Praise Performances, Criticise Screenplay

The much-awaited Malayalam comedy drama ‘‘Dheeran’, directed by Devadath Shaji, opened in theatres this Friday and has quickly sparked a mix of reactions across social media platforms.

Headlined by Rajesh Madhavan in a characteristically eccentric role, the film brings together a stellar ensemble cast including Manoj K Jayan, Ashokan, Sudheesh, Sidharth Bharathan, and Vineeth Radhakrishnan.

Set in a picturesque village and built around a delightfully chaotic road trip, the film blends situational humour, emotional undertones, and light-hearted drama. Backed by Lakshmi Warrier and Ganesh Menon, with music by Mujeeb Majeed, the film carries modest ambitions but delivers some laugh-out-loud moments.

Now that audiences have had a chance to catch the film in theatres, let’s take a look at what social media is saying.

One user appreciated the performances of the veteran actors and Rajesh Madhavan, whose comic timing stood out. The non-linear narrative structure of the film also earned praise, adding a layer of freshness to an otherwise simple plot.
A good comedy entertainer backed by the superb performances of all the senior artists.
Rajesh Madhavan👍
Non linear narration is a plus.
Most of the humor works.
Okayish direction.
But the last 30mins is a big letdown. Poor climax.
Try this for the comedies.

Another viewer found the rural charm and quirky characters to be endearing, though they did note that the screenplay felt loose in parts. Taking to the X platform, he wrote: “Dheeran is a feel-good entertainer with modest ambitions. While the screenplay lacks tightness, the movie offers a simple and sincere viewing experience, especially for those who enjoy rural stories with a comic undertone.”


Another user wrote: “Decent one time watchable fun entertainer, Senior actors combo superb especially ashokan & sudheesh. Technically good.”

Another moviegoer shared that while they liked Dheeran for its engaging start and the strong performances from the veteran actors, they felt the film lost steam midway. According to them, it had the potential to be a clear winner if only the screenplay had maintained its grip throughout. Despite its promising premise, the rest of the execution felt average.
