Director- Prashanth Mambully
Actors- Mohanlal , Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, Sudheesh, Leena, Lalu Alex etc
Camera- Lokanathan
Rating- Poor
The Mumbai terrorist attack and the rumors that they had entered Camah Hospital at Mumbai must have ignited the minds who had developed this story line into a two-hour Malayalam movie. But it failed to raise this to a suspense thriller as the team expected. The worst fact is that it used to test the patience of the viewers.
The factors about this film - completing the shoot in 17 hours , simultaneously shot by 5 cameras, and completed in 90 shots-may be the only interesting factors, to the producer. After seeing this film, one really wonders whether such tight schedule is really required to come out for a poor quality film- in editing, story line, creating suspense and the climax.
Super star Mohanlal as Dr .Balagopal, is a famous Gynec and has to treat the wife of State’s Home Minister. But a terrorist group chooses this time to take the Minister as a hostage. The film deals how the doctor, with the help of commandos, helps the Minister and manages to free the hospital and its inmates.
There is nothing much for even Mohanlal to do in this film. The film disappears faster from the theatres as it arrives, which is what these kinds of films deserve.
My advice to the director is to watch another contemporary Malayalam movie which arrived without much ad- The Passenger- and try to learn how a story is developed into a complete thriller and how editing can help a realistic story line. We hope he will learn from his mistakes before attempting his next creation, thus helping the future producers.
