The movie would be a disaapointment if your idea of maths is 1 1=11. However, if you have your feet and nostalgia firmly in place, this movie does not disappoint.
What it offers is a peak back to the spine tingling performances of two of the best dialogue hurlers that malayalam filmdom has ever produced. However, what becomes a dampener is the fact that while the individual movies were the firsts of their kind for each of the actors way back in the mid 90s, the apettite of the normal movie goers have been met more than a dozen times by similar movies in the past decade or so, by the same actors themselves. So, while the movie stands tall amongst the recent set of dialogue hurler movies, it somehow fails to appease the few of us who expect to walk out of the theatre with the same sense of excitement that we had, while we walked out of the theatres after watching the King, or Commissioner.
Now for the movie, when two such iconic irreverant brashful characters come together, what one would expect is for both these characters to be opposed to each other and unfurl their purposes against each other. The success of Twenty20 was driven by the unleashing of one super star power against the other. This movie falls short of using one against the other, and the script does not do justice to the sheer brand name of these two stars – not mammotty and Suresh Gopi – But Joseph Alex & Bharathchandran.
Technically the film stands tall – editing is sharp, cinema
