      Around 1:29:30, when john is explaining about his childhood story, he says about being born in Manhattan. Assuming he was a 90's kid, the picture at this time of Manhattan has the newly constructed WTC, there is no way this would have been possible.

    10/10
    Best Movie ever in Malayalam
    I had started this movie almost with no expectations since I had seen many political scenes involved in preview. Then the BGM fixed me to the seat. The story was fresh and made us wonder how better can it get,I was not a DQ fan, but this made me a die- hard one. About the acting DQ had done a very role of a playboy-Brat- type and Aparna as a matured-responsible- one. The script is brilliant . This movie showed a satirical part of politics in Kerala. Honestly speaking I had watched around 80 times and still didn't get bored . I'm sure everyone will just love this movie full of life and Zest . They should take more movies like this.
