The comedy sequel Mohiniyattam hit theatres on Friday, marking its release as a much-awaited sequel that promises a blend of humour, chaos, and engaging storytelling.

Directed and written by Krishnadas Murali, the film stars Suraj Venjaramoodu, Divya M. Nair, Vijay Babu, Jagadish, and Saiju Kurup in key roles, and follows a family trip that quickly turns into a chaotic and comical situation as hidden secrets begin to surface.

Now let’s look at what audiences are saying about the film.

One viewer on X described Mohiniyattam as an “absolute banger sequel that goes beyond expectations,” calling it a complete laugh riot that keeps the audience hooked throughout.

The user praised the entire cast, especially highlighting the performances of Suraj Venjaramoodu, Saiju Kurup, Vinay, and Baby Jean, noting that the latter’s dialogue delivery stood out. The viewer also appreciated the engaging screenplay with no dull moments, adding that it turned out to be “one of the best theatre experiences.”


Another viewer on X hailed Mohiniyattam as “one of the best dark humor films ever made in Malayalam,” adding that among films released in the past decade, it clearly stands out in the dark comedy genre. The user described it as a complete laugh riot and said it is “101% worth it,” strongly recommending it as a must-watch theatrical experience and calling it yet another banger.


One viewer on X remarked that from the statutory warning card to the end credits, Mohiniyattam is a rib-tickling laugh riot and an out-and-out terrific entertainer. The user added that whether it is the plot, performances, or technical execution, the sequel has “knocked it out of the park,” praising it as a thoroughly satisfying cinematic experience.


Another said that Mohiniyattam as an instalment does complete justice to its predecessor, praising the film for nailing its off-beat dark humour and absurdity. The viewer described it as “an absolute banger of a movie,” highlighting how well the sequel lives up to expectations.
