The director, I guess, meant this work as a comical look into the social issues of the Kerala society. The story starts as Mr Jagadeesh writing a letter to his wife. He had come to find a job and failed. In the letter, it is written about his intention to commit suicide soon after. The letter reaches his wife at his home village. As with any village in India, everyone knows everyone. So the news spread about Jagadeesh's suicide. Different people have different outlook and feelings towards the tragedy. For example, the village tea shop owner (Salim Kumar) is more concerned about the number of visitors to mourn and their food plans which directly profits his business; the village political members (Jagathy and co) are concerned about improving their political mileage by faking the sadness, a village elderly is more concerned about the future of Jagadeesh's pretty wife and the gossips of her imagined lover, their long lost relatives start appearing to fight for scraps of family's property etc. The incident becomes the talk of town and the house becomes a place of social gatherings. It is to such a situation Mr Mukesh appears from nowhere and takes it his responsibility to help the family till the body arrives. No one knows who he is or what his intentions are. Comical acts are spiced more by the local SI of police, Mr Suraj Venjaranmoodu.
I should say that the acting and comics were indeed refreshing till 3/4 of the movie. From then onwards, it starts to drag and the last 20 mins it turn serious. This mixture of emotional play killed the movie. Why can't they make a comical movie as comical? Why do they think that every movie needs all kind of emotions in it? My personal rating is 2.5 out of 5…
