Story of a small time village thief –Gopalan- whose pet item is stealing “Katla” ( Malayalam word for wooden frame) from all houses in the village called Unjalady. Aiming big fortunes, he went to town where he met another similar thief played by Salim kumar. They changed their usual track and went to kidnap a girl from a rich family. The story changed from there with fighting and revenge till the end.

Comedy films are nowadays dealing mostly with situational comedies. You will laugh at the various situations planned for the same .
Music is mediocre. No song is worth remembering. Luckily the viewers are spared with minimum songs.

Film towards the end is boring. Action scenes and court scenes are unrealistic. Director finds hard to wrap it up which becomes a pain to the average viewer.

New actress- Ms Varma- has nothing big to offer, though she is present throughout the film. With a flawless body and an expression-less face, she looks attractive with make-up. But really she needs to work hard for staying in this industry..

Salim kumar is better where as Jagathy seems to be tired of doing such silly characters. Manoj K Jayan as villain has come back after a gap and so is Biju Menon. Dileep should now consciously look for films with at least some realistic story line.

Overall- my 10 year old son- liked the film. When I told him that I didn’t like this, he said he found me laughing at some jokes. So that’s it. You can laugh at some of the situations. But this will not help you in liking the film.

Comments- If you want to be crazy, go ahead and waste your time & money for this film.
