[5] [6] The music was composed by Christo Xavier, while Vishnu Sarma and Shameer Muhammed handled the cinematography and editing respectively. [7]
Turbo was theatrically released on 23 May 2024 to mixed reviews from critics. [8]
"Turbo" Jose, a Jeep driver from Idukki, gets in trouble and is forced to relocate to Chennai, where he gets entangled with Indhulekha and his friend Jerry. However, a bunch of surprises in the form of Vetrivel Shanmugha Sundaram and others await Jose in Chennai.
Turbo was made on a budget of ₹70 crores. [9] The film was officially announced on 24 October 2023, by Mammootty. [10] The principal photography commenced in October 2023 in Coimbatore and wrapped up on 18 February 2024. [11] [12] [13]
Turbo was released theatrically on 23 May 2024. [14] [15]
On its opening day Turbo earned ₹6.25 crore from Kerala, making it the highest opening-day gross for a Malayalam film in 2024. Turbo grossed ₹7.40 crore in India on 23 May 2024. [16] On its second day, the film grossed ₹19.1 crore worldwide, making a total of ₹26.50 crore. [17]
Anna Mathews of The Times of India gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Mammootty, like Malayalam cinema, is at an energetic high. There is a clue about a part two and this is a sequel that audiences will be waiting for." [18] Goutham S of Pinkvilla gave 3.5/5 stars and wrote "The 2-and-a-half-hour flick would surely satisfy many movie lovers who are craving an out-and-out action movie. On a side note, for anyone who is a fan of Jawan or Tamil cinema in particular, make sure to stick around for the tail-end for a surprise, potentially leading to a sequel." [19]
Sanjith Sidhardhan of OTTplay gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Mammootty aces the five action scenes in Vysakh’s directorial, but it doesn’t rise above that. The generic script and a weak villain robs Turbo off the power to deliver a knockout punch." [20] Janani K of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "'Turbo' is a predictable action drama with a few quirks in the bag that make it a watchable affair." [21]
Arjun Menon of Rediff rated 2.5/5 stars and wrote "While Turbo may not break new ground, it serves as a testament to Mammootty's unwavering allure, captivating audiences across generations." [22] Anandu Suresh of The New Indian Express rated 2/5 stars and wrote "Even as the script drags on endlessly, Vysakh's movie is predominantly salvaged by Mammootty's no-holds-barred performance, operating in top gear, complemented by Raj B Shetty's remarkable presence as the villain." [23]
Latha Srinivasan of Hindustan Times wrote "The movie uses an interplay of comedy and fights to move from one situation to the next. Unfortunately, most of the comedy falls flat so it’s upto the fight sequences to save the day". [24] S. R. Praveen of The Hindu wrote "Vysakh’s ‘Turbo’ will be remembered for recycling all the old tropes that have been part of its genre since time immemorial and for its reluctance to try anything new." [25]
Turbo is the biggest big budget film under the production of Mammootty. 70 crores are being spent on the film.
