Shylock has also been released in Tamil as Kuberan with the same cast.In a village in Southern Kerala bordering Tamil Nadu lives a wealthy man named Raja Rathnam Pillai ( Sai Kumar). Shajon, Siddique, Baiju Santhosh, John Vijay, Hareesh Kanaran and others have done justice to their roles. Meena, the popular South Indian actress, too makes a comeback after two years. The veteran actor has delivered an electrifying performance in Shylock, which also marks his first on-screen collaboration with popular Tamil actor Rajkiran. Mammootty impresses with his punches and kicks, with Gopi Sundar's brilliant background score to boot. The action sequences choreographed by Anl Arasu are a visual treat. The latter half, in fact, restricts the flow of the film as emotions take centre-stage and the pace and energy of the film drop. While the first half is filled with punch dialogues and mass scenes, the second half of the film focuses on the back story and ends as a revenge drama. One also wishes they would have come up with more original one-liners for Boss, along with a less-cliched storyline. Jointly scripted by newcomers Aneesh Hameed and Bibin Mohan, Shylock has comedy, thrills and the revenge elements in it, but the mix isn't perfect. The superstar's stylish appearance and mannerism, and his punch dialogues, create a mass aura around the 'Boss' character. It's Mammootty's third film with Ajai Vasudev, after Rajadhiraja and Masterpiece.
