The much hyped Siddhique movie, which was meant to be Dileep's comeback to series of hits miserably fails in every department to entertain us. Everything was bad here except Mithra Kurian & Guiness Pakru.

Story
Jayakrishnan(Dileep) comes to Ashokettan's(Thyagarajan's)home to become his bodyguard. Ashokettan  asks him to go to college with Ammu(Nayanthara ) and Sethulakshmi(Mithra Kurian) as their bodyguard . There Ammu fools Jayakrishnan by calling from a ID restricted mobile phone & tells him that she's a girl in the same college and she's in love with him. Towards interval she originally falls in love. How they unite is the rest of the story.

Performances
Dileep was a bad choice for the role of Jayakrishnan. Dileep misrably failed in handling the character in second half. At times, he tries to evoke some laugh, but a pure failure. Dileep couldn't handle the loverboy character & mature character transformation towards climax. His action scenes were pathetic as the story requires a better hero who could punch atleast five villains.  Nayanthara was a total failure, especially in sentiment scenes. There is no need of Thyagarajan to do this role which resembles Urmila Unni's character in Sargam towards climax. Harisree Ashokan's character Neelambaran was a straight lift from his same role in Chronic Bachelor. Janardhanan, Cochin Haneefa, Appa Haja, Nandulal has nothing to do. Zeenath was doing overacting. As in Chronic Bachelor, here too Seema.G.Nair was there as Dileep's mother with overacting.

Mithra Kurian as Sethulakshmi was the only character which was developed well & she performed well, especially in climax sequence. Guiness Pakru entertains us with his intro scene & some one-liners & gestures.

Songs
Songs by Ouseppachan is just OK. BGM was too loud.

Technical
Editing was pathetic. Cinematography was OK in parts. Costumes were bad. Action sequence was bad.

Bhagyalakshmi, the voice of 99% malayalam actresses dubs for Nayanthara & she seems to dub for Ganga(Shobhana) in Manichithrathazhu, rest of the time she does like a Fazil's movie heroine. Poor dubbing.

Script & Direction
I strongly doubt that the script was written and directed by Fazil & gave Siddhique's name to make it a crowd puller. Pathetic Script with bad comedies. No genuine comedy scenes were there. Everything was predictable comedies. There was no particular twists in the story as we have seen in his previous films. Script seems to be inspired from various other movies. Especially climax sequence was a mix of bollywood blockbuster Kuch Kuch Hota Hai & Sargam. Is there a person like director in the sets of this movie. Poor direction. All scenes which were meant to be comedies ended up as CHALUS with extra dialogues o explain that. There was no continuity in the proceedings of the movie. Utter crap script & direction. Siddhique seems to be following 80's style of script & direction which won't work with today's audience.

Verdict : Big Bore
BO Verdict : Flop
