if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This is a brilliant effort by renji panickier and joshy, they created probably the best political thriller in malayalam. The movie revolves around a cruel businessman (NF Varghese) who uses people for his personal glory and some sincere journalist who wants to expose him to the public. The person who steals the show is late NF Varghese who acts as Vishwanathan. His character was carefully developed by panickier and the actor gives full justice to his role.He was even better than murali in some scenes. The background music when he comes and the actor's immense screen presence and his dilagoues deliveries add more depth to the character.Suresh gopi and Biju menon were good too. Rest of the cast was its usual itself. It was quite interesting to see Manju warrior in a explosive role where she uses abusive languages to tease one of the police officers. One of my best scene in the movie's are 1) Suresh Gopi is beaten by the police and the villain comes and consolidates him. (not like usual Hindi movies) 2) The sudden death of Biju Menon 3) Climax of the movie. Though direction is very good, it is renji panickier who must be given credit for movie. Dilagoes were just enough and developed each character carefully. A must watch for action movie lovers and fans of both renji panickier and suresh gopi.
