Malayalam cinema is brimming with talent and potential. There are many youngsters making films based in milieus and about themes that were ignored in the dark ages of the late 1990s uptil around 2009. So it is quite disheartening to see young Nidhin Ranji Panicker (son of the legendary Ranji Panicker) make such a generic film that appeals only to the masses. But the film's box office record indicates that even the masses rejected this insufferable garbage after the first weekend.
Mamooty phones it in as Rajan Zackariah. This must rank as one of his most uninspired performances. He dances rather than walks in many of the scenes with horrible populist music in the background. The talented Varalakshmi is wasted in a loud role.
Nothing about the film really works. It is all very shoddy and uninspired. It is a film by a lazy filmmaker in a privileged position. It comes across as one of those awful films directed by Shaji Kailas in the 90s or early 2000s. This film released in the wrong decade!
