Chatha Pacha Twitter Review: Mammootty’s Cameo Steals the Show, Netizens Call It ‘Lit Popcorn Entertainer’

The buzz has been slowly building up for ‘Chatha Pacha’ in the last couple of weeks with its punchy promotional material and the intrigue around a surprise cameo by Malayalam megastar Mammootty. And going by the social media reactions to the early premiere shows held in late Tuesday night on January 20, 2026, the film appears to be delivering precisely on its promise: loud, boisterous, and strictly big-screen material.

Directed by debutant Adhvaith Nayar, ‘Chatha Pacha’ is positioned as an action comedy that thrives on style, fight choreography, and mass moments. While the film stars Arjun Ashokan and Roshan Mathew in the lead roles, it is Mammootty’s cameo that appears to have left the strongest impression on early audiences.

Chatha Pacha Twitter Review

Here’s a look at the tweets currently shaping the online conversation around 'Chatha Pacha':

Mama Miyan, “#ChathaPacha Slow testing initial portion as they set up the characters and premise. But once the wrestling kicks in, it's pure adrenaline until the interval block. The second half however dips into generic drama and relies on the megastar cameo for the big save.”

Chatha Pacha Final Verdict

Initial reactions indicate that Chatha Pacha takes its time to set up characters and the world in the first half, a choice that has drawn mixed responses. However, once the action elements, particularly the wrestling and fight sequences, kick in, the film reportedly finds its rhythm.

Viewers have repeatedly described it as a “popcorn entertainer”, with whistles, cheers, and mass moments doing the heavy lifting. The second half, according to several tweets, leans on star power and heightened drama, culminating in a cameo that many felt elevated the overall experience.
