Mohanlal, the Malayalam superstar, had three releases this year, with Hridayapoorvam being his latest. The story follows Sandeep Balakrishnan (Mohanlal), a simple man running a small food business, who undergoes a heart transplant. While the plot hints at emotional depth and family drama, the execution is sluggish and overly simplistic. Malavika Mohanan and Sangita Madhavan Nair appear natural, but their scenes with Mohanlal, though intended to add charm, feel repetitive and underwhelming. It may appeal only to die-hard fans willing to watch the superstar in a low-key role.
