Performances  Analysis
Dulquer Salman as Afsal is good with his role of a lazy innocent teenager. Though his mannerisms remind us of his previous flicks, Dulquer has tried his best to live through his character.
Nazriya Nazim as Shahana is good at her expressions, but leaves a space to improve at emotional scenes.
Jacob Grigory as Binoy is successful to render some one-liners to produce some laughs here and there.
Rest of the cast including Sidhique, Geetha, Sreekumar, Santhanam, Tini Tom (Venu Master) have done near justice to their roles.

Technical Aspects
Cinematography by Satheesh Kurup has nothing much to offer, but maintains decent visuals throughout. Music by Gopi Sunder is good throughout the BGM portions, whereas the songs turnout to be just OK. The script by director himself has nothing much to offer for the viewers other than some one-liners. The core climax portions of the movie can be placed on the negative side along with many other negatives as it just gave a feeling - the director tried hard to end the movie all of a sudden and didn't even justify or clarify the purpose, the whole movie was made for.

Futurecreater Box Office Verdict

As the impact of song sequences through youtube, and other media's, the opening of "Salala Mobiles" is worth one. Morning show is crowded all over with the presences of 90% of youth audience. Released today (23 Jan) is not a holiday, and not any other off day and the next days is also the same. Saturday and Sundays have a chance to increase the collection. But not expecting any high growth. 

Verdict

As a kind of movie if you would like to laugh for some one-liners, and some pleasing BGM, then salala mobile is worth to watch . But comparing to recent releases and the weak points in the flow of storytelling makes a big disappointment.
