ANIL RADHAKRISHNA MENON after 24 NORTH KAATHAM, that was my calling card for the movie with an impressive trailer. Does the movie entertain us??? Lets see





Story
Watch the trailer here


All the 7 thieves meets at a jail and plans to hunt down a common enemy of two - Krishnanunni & Nobilettan

Performances
Prithviraj was fine, so as Asif Ali who got a good intro scene, Nedumudi too. It is Chemban Vinod as Marty who steals the show. Terrific dialogues and expressions. The one who played his asst too scores. Neeraj Madhav as Narayankutty too got a couple of scenes to score. Sudheer Karamana as Leaf Vasu was a superb characterisation and he did his part in a superb way, but used less in second half. Joy Mathew is typecasted again, so as Irshad and Mukundan. Lishoy was good in his role. Another person I have to mention is director Lijo Jose Pellissery who was superb, especially dialogue delivery as a Thrissur priest. Reenu & Sanusha were okay in their role.

Songs & BGM
Rex Vijayan disappoints except the Title saying song portion. BGM was fine.

Technical
Nothing special, Editing was fine.

Script & Direction

Both departments handled by Anil Radhakrishna Menon. Story plot is nothing new, but the way story unfolds and the characterisations make the show different. First half was a kind of introduction and flashback of all the seven thieves. Towards Interval, they plans a robbery. First half was good enough with enough genuine comedies, especially situational ones. But second half, though the proceedings were engaging, could have been a lot better. I think script was in a confusion whether to give prominence to the 7 characterisations making a robbery or the robbery plot with 7 thieves. He chose the second option in my opinion. The climax portion was predictable and the post climax part killed the party and standard the movie set till then.

Real Hero is ANIL RADHAKRISHNA MENON, the director. A director with vision, at the same time racy and slow enough which the subject demanded.

Overall a director's flick with good first half and could have been better, still engaging second half with not so impressive twist and post climax

Verdict : Engaging Entertainer
