The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Iniyum Kurukshethram is typical of the action movies in malayalam in 1980's where a corrupt and defunct system forces the protagonist to take up arms. Mohanlal is an upright Police Inspector who is in love with his morapennu Sobhana and lives with his cousin brother in his Uncle' house. Both the cousin brothers are in love with Sobhana their rich Uncle's only daughter. Mohanlal is in confrontation with C.I Paul the rich Abkari who is the defacto Govt in the town.This might be one of the few films where the hero loses from beginning to end. The climax is a major letdown . The performances are above average but with an outdated script the movie pans out badly . At many places there was dragging and the Hero is shown ineffectual at most times.The film may have been OK 25 years back but looks very bad now. I am giving 3/10 and avoid rating Waste of Time
