Plot

The movie tells us the story of a man (Mammootty) who gets stuck in some unfortunate circumstances and earns a notorious name in his village as a womanizer. So, he moves to Kochi from Idukki to be known as the better person in the locality. That does not happen even. When Mammootty gets a job in a teacher’s training college in Kochi, he gets surrounded by two women again; Deepti Sati and Asha Sharath. Again new twists happen in his life. What is his weakness? Did he get into trouble naturally or purposely? Watch it in the theaters!

Star Performances

Mammootty looks no doubt romantic but his pairing with Deepti mismatches. However, both of them look good in a song sequence. Actress Deepti Sati looks glamorous. Mammootty is unable to give high voltage performance in many scenes because the director has moved the story to a shallow level. Asha Sarath doesn’t have much scope to match her versatility.

Analysis

Due to poor execution of the plot, Mammooty’s potential had been wasted. Asha makes her comeback to the silver screen after a gap of 2 years. Various scenes fall flat between Asha and Mammootty and even comic timing is totally absurd.

What’s there?

Mammootty looks very handsome in the movie.
Actor Innocent shares screen presence with Mammootty after a gap of 7 years and their combination looks good

What’s Not There?

This script didn’t suit Mammootty.
Songs have been fused without much thinking
The first half is bit entertaining; second half is a washout.
Due to inept handling of the whole cast, the movie gets boring.

Verdict

The director failed to execute the script well, despite the beautiful star cast. If you have no other films to go, just visit the theater. Mammooka and Asha's presence might impress you!
