Plot

Shaji Pappan and his team are on a time-travel chase, shuttling between two timelines. They appear as different people in each timeline with a different set of enemies. They have different enemies in those timelines, pushing them to confront.

Star Performance

Jayasurya delivered a decent performance. Vinayakan and Saiju are good in their roles. In fact, everyone who appeared in the film delivered what was required of them.

Analysis

Right from the costumes to the set works, the team has done a great job. The 1700s timeline is finely set, and the elaborate sets gain attraction. When one of the timelines is the Aadu timeline, the other is the 1700s era. The concept is fine and the transitions are handled neatly. The film lacks some grip, which is much needed to watch the film throughout. The comedy is forcibly inserted in some places, and in some places, it worked out well. The songs and the BGM are quite good. The running time is too lengthy. If certain unnecessary scenes had been trimmed, it would’ve created a huge hype for the audience.

What’s There?

  • The performances are decent
  • The visuals and music are good

What’s Not There?

  • Except for a few jokes, the rest appeared to have been forcibly inserted
  • The much-needed grip is missing
  • The running time should’ve been trimmed

Verdict

If some unnecessary scenes were trimmed, the film could’ve appealed better. Only for the performances, the film is watchable once!
