 * Not actually negative. It seems mixed. The Times of India, Malayala Manorama reviews are positive: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/malayalam/movie-reviews/odiyan/movie-review/67085824.cms, https://english.manoramaonline.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/2018/12/14/mohanlal-odiyan-movie-review-shrikumar-menon-manju-warrier.html, https://www.filmibeat.com/malayalam/reviews/2018/odiyan-movie-review-rating-3-5-mohanlal-excels-this-journey-through-manikyan-s-life-280488.html. Also, not all review you listed above are highly negative, only the Indian Express review is outright negative, India Today, Firstpost, and The News Minute critics have moderate opinion. While Sify has an above average opinion: http://www.sify.com/movies/odiyan-review--verdict-watch-it-if-you-are-a-mohanlal-fan-review-malayalam-smouatbegfeeb.html. 137.97.178.108 (talk) 18:55, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

The film created an history by releasing on a harthal day in Kerala and winning the hearts and box office. It collected 11.48cr on its first day in Kerala and a total of 32.99cr worldwide, which is the greatest of all the Malayalam movies.

1) Under PRODUCTION →-> Sub Heading :Development (1st paragraph) On 4 February 2017, Kerala Kaumudi reported that a 3D film titled Odiyan and starring Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachchan, written by Harikrishnan and to be directed by commercial director V. A. Shrikumar Menon in what will be his feature film debut, was in "deveopment".

Please correct the deveopment spelling to Development ✅

2) Under PRODUCTION →-> Sub Heading :Development (1st paragraph) This story was based on folk tales of Odiyan; Harrikrishnan did not undertake any additional research.[2].

Please correct Harrikrishnan name spelling to Harikrishnan ✅ for consistency with the rest of the article.

3) Under PRODUCTION →-> Sub Heading :Development (2nd paragraph)  On 26 March 2017, Mohahial confirmed the project officially via social media.

Please correct Mohahial name spelling to Mohanlal ✅

4) Under PRODUCTION →-> Sub Heading :Pre-Production(1st paragraph) Menon said Odiyan is likely to release in 2017 itself, but is uncertain as the film requires an extensive post-production with a large chunk of time need to be spend for visual effects.

Please remove the Comma after the word "itself" ❌ improper grammar

Add in the box office section: "Odiyan with a gross collection of ₹1.26 crore became the second highest-grossing Malayalam film in Tamil Nadu, behind Premam." Source

Note: Currently it's in third position after the release of Lucifer (2019), which broke Premam 260 days gross collection in 24 days. 2405:204:D309:2C98:1D0D:7572:D447:3DFF (talk) 08:53, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Please add the plot:

Manikyan, a notorious shape-shifter, returns to his village after an exile of 15 years. His arrival causes much unease to the villagers, especially Ravunni Nair, who has a personal grudge against him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.77.2.93 (talk) 05:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Good language. It would be helpful if you can write a full plot instead of a one-line sentence. I doubt whether the Wikipedia volunteers sanction this if you write it in a single line. Please refer WP:PLOTSUM for the writing guideline. Best wishes. 2405:204:D384:BCFD:CC94:5D75:ADFD:3EB2 (talk) 14:05, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
