Sadly Over-hyped
I wanted to but couldn't!
i must have seen a different film!!
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Perumal is back with power and style,but with a story unthrillling,with little suspense. Mammooty looks fit,handsome and dashing in the movie and is full of style and looks better than in the old installment,but is struggling to catch the eyes of the viewers due to a loopholed script.Sidhique as the psychopathic villain is o.k,but has nothing new to present.Actresses doesnot have a big role to play and just come and go.Lalu Alex does a commentable role as a witty,cool DGP. Script by S.N.Swamy is the biggest let back of the movie and is goofy and amateurish as compared to August 1.The interwowen politics seems as if an advertisement by the ruling party.The Background Score of the movie is a big relief compared to the less thrilling script.the second half of the movie is fast-paced and bearable.VERDICT:: A movie for the die-hard fans of Mammookka to see him in a cool,stylish,handsome avatar.No good script offered,the movie is certainly not recommended for a movie lover or even the masses.My Rating:4.5/10
