An above average performance by Fahad Fazil barely saves this poorly written and edited film. Fahad plays a misanthropic software engineer obsessed with cleanliness. He is regularly rude and cruel to his co-workers and family but the fact that he is brilliant at his job keeps him from getting fired. A transfer to another city and a Hartal puts his ordered life in jeopardy.
The director uses way too many scenes to emphasize Fahad's obsessive cleanliness and misanthropy. The writing is uniformly poor, many of the scenes are the ones you have seen numerous times in Malayalam cinema (like the old guy talking about how he first fell in love). And then there is the usual collection of kind working class Malayali characters with whom the main character comes into contact with. And of course, the token scene in a "kallu/arrack shop".
Sreenath Basi as Fahad's brother reprises the role of a slacker (similar to the one he played in Da Thadiya). Nedumudi's role is full of clichés. He has played this role too many times. Swathi Reddy is awful. I guess its not her fault. her character is so poorly written, you don't even understand why she is attracted to a guy like Fahad.
(4/10)
