As we come out of the movie, we would feel the title refers
to the actor director-combination. Mohan lal - Sathyan Anthikad combo has
always churned out memorable movies. This one is not one of their best outings
but delivers most of what the ‘brand’ promises.
Mohan lal as usual has given a superlative performance. His
impeccable comic timing, screen presence exuding grace and charm, we
malayaalees are indeed lucky to have him. Though the story revolves around
Manju Warrier’s character, her role doesn't have enough meaty situations to
bring out her best.
Sathyan Anthikad’s world is full of ‘basically good’ people.
There are no evil characters. Flawed, yes. But never outright evil. So it was
kind of surprising to see the buildup given for THE villain. I even had a couple of names in my
head as to who would play that role. But then who am I kidding! The villain is
given a name and just looms in the background as the epitome of all evil and
never shows up. Don’t get me wrong. I am not complaining. It did sync well with
the general feel of the movie.
The turn of events seem a lot contrived and the characters
very much clichéd and not that well written. But Lalettan's histrionics and the
general feel goodness makes it worth a watch.
