Musical style, image and themes
The band's first performance will involve nearly 40 hit songs of Mohanlal movies using hologram technology.
Criticism
The band drew flak from the social media and some sections of the Malayalam film fraternity for its maiden show at the 2015 National Games of India for poor performance which included lip-syncing to a previously recorded audio tape and for charging an amount of Rs. 1.60 crore for its first show. Director Vinayan had criticized Mohanlal, who leads the band, for charging such a hefty amount, when Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar attended the function without charging any money. Following the criticism, Mohanlal announced that he would be returning the remuneration of Rs 1.6 crore to Government of Kerala.
