Director Rosshan Andrrews is cheating Malayalee audience by making movies once in a while. A director like this, who handles the script very well must do atleast one movie a year. Once in a while only movie like this happens, a movie in which characters can be identified by all with some new info to audience. It's a superb entertainer with no sidetrack slapstick comedies, songs & a love affair.

Story
Mathews aka Mathevoos aka Mathachan(Mohanlal), son of Jerumias(Thilakan), is the owner of 3 acre land in which he is running a farm. Aluva Chandy(Lalu Alex) is a land mafia person who wants to buy Mathews's land too. Problem starts when Mathews tells Chandy that he won't sell his land. Chandy, the man who has influence in govt offices tries his best to acquire the land by creating unnecessary problems with the help of officers and using forged certificates created by Bhuvanachandran(Jagathy Sreekumar). The rest of the story is how Mathews overcome these problems and protects his land.

Performances
Mohanlal as Mathews is not a different or special role for him. But the actor playing such a kind of role after a long time gives some freshness. Lalu Alex as Aluva Chandy is good. All the three female leads are apt, Lakshmi Rai's lip sync needs to be improved. Shankar, Innocent, Sadhiq, Chalipala, Edavela Babu....all did their part well. Baiju Ezhupunna as Aluva Chandy's supporter is a refreshing one on screen. Thilakan has nothing much to do. Kaviyoor Ponnamma is a big minus. Sukumari is wasted.

Though in limited scenes, Sreenivasan as Prabalan/Koshy, Jagathy as Bhuvanachandran & Manianpilla Raju as lawyer simply rocked. Jagathy as certificate maker was excellent in his expressions & dialogue delivery styles. Sreenivasan acted as a catalyst for the second half of the movie's proceedings. Manianpilla Raju in his climax scene was good.


Songs
Director has taken a bold decision that not to have a single song in the movie. If there was a song, it would have been be a speedbreaker for the movie. BGM by Gopi Sundar was good. But repetition of the same BGM in many scenes could have been avoided.

Technical
Art directon was excellent, Cinematography too. Editing was good, action too.

Script & Direction
James Albert, the script writer once again proved his talent. EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!! James developed the story through sequences which will give some freshness to the audience. All the characters in the movie, even an actor appearing in a single scene has got a characterisation. He was able to increase the pace in development of the story gradually and able to make it racy towards the climax.  Dialogues are EXCELLENT. The home work done by Script Writer is clearly visible in all scenes, especially court matters, register office proceedings & above all Jagathy's character and his LAB.

Directon by Rosshan Andrrews is good. He was able to make the audience travel through the problems of Mathews. SUPERB DIRECTION with great technical perfection.

Nothing more to say, GO FOR IT!!!

Verdict : Very Good
BO Verdict : Super Hit


I felt only one negative in the movie. The opening school visit sequence of Shobha Mohan was a bitlengthy. Watch it atleast 2-3 times in theatres. ENJOY!!!
