Story: A pantophobic and timid Ayyappa Das from Alappuzha turns into the gunman of Pannyanoor Mukundan, a firebrand political chief from Kannur. Will his job offers him a brand new perspective on life?

Assessment: Malayalam cinema has seen many political movies like Meenamasathile Sooryan and Lal Salam that talks communism and its historical past in Kerala. The ideology has used artwork types very creatively to connect with folks on the grassroots degree, to grasp their struggles and battle for his or her rights. Sadly, because the years handed by, we began seeing movies which might be peripheral and not directly turn into pure public relations ventures. In such movies, we see actors taking part in ‘superheroic’ politicians who often splurt out ‘thug dialogues’.

Hemanth G Nair’s film, starring Suraj Venjaramoodu as Pannyanoor Mukundan, a political chief from Kannur, may be added to the latter record. The technically good movie with moments that offers thrills and chills with violence, fails to look deep into the characters featured.

Ayyappa Das, performed by Dhyan Srinivasan is a cop from Alappuzha, who obtained into service below dying-in-harness guidelines. He’s pantophobic and timid. Since he joined the service with political affect, he’s requested by the celebration to affix because the gunman of Pannyanoor Mukundan at Kannur, the land of political murders. The film additional speaks by way of Ayyappa Das who struggles to grasp the place, it is politics and it is politicians.

Actors have carried out the characters properly. Music has been very a lot been used to create an atmosphere and heroism. A couple of visuals that glorify Pannyanoor Mukundan may have been edited out.

The movie have a number of moments that give goosebumps to ‘communist’ buffs. Nevertheless it additionally tries laborious to create icons which might be being celebrated round as ‘man with two hearts’. It’s a film ‘for the communist’.

PS: A fast gender thought. So, how can a frontrunner assist males who bodily assault a girl and destroy an autorickshaw simply because she is from one other celebration? Is not this a democratic land which embraced communism that supported the working class.
