Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Priyadarshan too has also made greetings. From the beginning of the film a lot of laughter and finally the movie that weighed the audience. Mohanlal is an Unnikrishnan sir. Unnikrishnan approached his daughter to catch the jail climber. This closer becomes love. Several crises are decided and decided to get together. But they can not get together because the phone call is not available at the right time. Even in the middle of the traffic block, the hero is not even seeing each other. We do not even forget background music on this scenario.

Plot stolen from the Hollywood movie "Stakeout". Last day I saw this movie on Zee studio.I was not at all surprised Priyadardshan's Boeing Boeing(Malayalam),Garam Masala(Hindi) and Chandralekha had stolen plot. As usual he had made minute changes like villain becomes heroine's father for vandanam and the climax has a bit of changes. Also hero and heroin is separated in the climax of vandanam. Whereas in Stakeout the hero and heroin remains one. Also in stakeout the hero is a bit older than mohanlal in vandanam.The climax of stakeout doesn't have the bomb planting etc.In stakeout the help for villain comes from outside the jail. but in vandanam the villain gets help from an insider of the jail. If you exclude these things both the movies are the same.

I first saw this movie as a kid. I enjoyed the comedy and fast paced movie thoroughly. Till the heart breaking end. Later on I used to watch it only till the last half hour when the drama begins.But as I grew up and had my own share of experiences. The climax seemed more realistic to me. I started watching only the climax!!!!!!!!!!Overall a great movie, great comedy, great songs, decent story line.... The scenes enacted by lal, mukesh and jagadeesh have been etched in every malayalees mind. Especially, the cycle chase, the glue episode, church scene. Heavily borrowed from English movies, the film has room for a good laugh as well as leaving the movie hall with aheavy heart Enjoy

This movie came in the wake of Chitram's super success. It starts off with plenty of comedic routines by Mohanlal and Mukesh, and then the plot unfolds. The highlight of the film is the last scene (can't tell you that). Definitely worth watching.
