A familiar storyline but combined with impeccable directorial skills of Prithvi gave us an extraordinary mass avatar of Mohanlal. Every scene, dialogue of Lalettan was a goosebump moment for me.

3.5/5. Most probably the next industry hit! pic.twitter.com/hKfQW9eHLy

#Lucifer an out and out @Mohanlal show very well filmed by @PrithviOfficial . Slowpaced narration is used for buildup of story and characters.Still many goosebumps moments guaranteed.

3.5/5
