Most of us go not to test our intellect or imagination, but just to take a look at Mr. Mohanlal. His on screen charisma and star power attracts us to the badly maintained theatres in Kerala on the opening day, just to watch him.
And if you come out smiling, then it is only because of the good time provided by the superstar. Unnikrishnan was certainly in no mood to take chances, when he got the dates of Mohanlal.
The story may be old wine in new tetra- pack. But what makes the film work to a large extent is the director's smart packaging. Unni is able to tap into the charisma of his hero and create set pieces- comic, action, emotional and dramatic. The film once again proves that Mohanlal the actor is irrelevant in commercial Malayalam cinema, he is THE STAR.
