#Shylock so far
Classic case of how a lead actor stands tall in an otherwise normal script. This one is an out n out mass show by @mammukka.
Entertaining so far. Will be a treat to fans 👍

A disappointing mass entertainer in which #Megastar screen presence and perfo is the only saving grace.Decent first half and a plain 2nd half. Needs a better execution and an engaging screenplay badly!
2/5
Below Average!#ShylockReview

#Shylock is a treat for fans and mass masala lovers with Mammukka’s characterization working big time. Routine story. Second half starts well, a normal flash back portion and ends with a bang again thanks to that man again

#Shylock – Treat for mass masala entertainer fans. The movie truely belongs to @mammukka for his terrific energy level & perfomance. In an usual revenge drama what keeps the film full on high is the never seen before screen space of Mammootty.
Sure shot at Box Office !!
