Chandrashekhar (Mohanlal) is a police officer, who has assumed charge of the Metro Crime Stopper Cell, and who finds it extremely difficult to keep things in focus. He is a divorcee who loves his daughter more than anything. It has been ten years since his wife (Deepthi) left him. Of all the letters coming to Metro Crime Stopper Cell, Chandrashekhar chooses one letter randomly, and that turns out to be a letter stating that serial killings are going to be undertaken and gives clue to the first crime. Chandrashekhar immediately takes charge on the case, and the further proceedings along with the neat climax forms the story.
It has been Mohanlal all the way, actually I am pretty happy to see him trimmed for this one. A 'not very excited' Chandrashekhar is great to view on screen. Priyamani as Deepthi was good. Anoop Menon was convincing. Mithra Kurian had put on too much make up. Negative marks for her. Not to mention Babu Antony. After a long time, it has been a beautiful performance from this man, who even without many dialogues, was simply superb.
The negative points in the film isn't there much to be told. The dialogue just before the interval scene where Chandrashekhar points about a clue that the killer has left, isn't told elsewhere in the movie. Maybe that dialogue was just packed for the interval punch.
On the overall, Grand Master turns out to be a decent entertainer for the holidays. Go for it!!
