I still can't figure out the difference between the plots of Spirit, Run Baby Run & Karmayodha. All were on the same base line of a single personality without a family going against the grain. What kind of bullshit is that?
Malayalam industry is to be prejudiced now, as all the mainstream movies suck like their Bollywood counterparts. Mohanlal-he might be the complete actor but his films nowadays are not as complete as it should be. With Joshiy's ever-increasing obsession with heroines taking against their heroes (RBR), Lokpal proves to be very bad in all the film-making terms. Kavya Madhavan was literally wasted. While the two-movie fame supporting girl fares better. Supporting cast have great character portrayal but since the foundation (story, screenplay & editing) all suck to their cores, this 120 minutes of drama is more like a predictable cliché with some improvisation from the west.
The story is just like movie "4 The People" but, yes the outcomes are different and while stealth is adopted in large scale, corruption comes into picture with Mohanlal's friends ranging from ministry to police. We, Malayalis, are done with such cheap tricks of entertainment. Also, there are lots of frivolous sequences consisting dance, music and melody. We aspire something new (Natholi Oru Cheriya Meenalla, etc). Adopting Gangnam Style dance steps, or playing Flo Rida's "Low" in the background won't make movies hit. Get some craft, men!
BOTTOM LINE: Mohanlal is amazing as always, but his complete actor designation may have to be redressed. 4/10. Wait for the DVD!
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
