Forget the story (not much of it anyways) or the variable speed shots (best seen in the cult graphic novel movie 300), this flick is all about the man - you know who. While it probably goes a bit overboard in projecting Prithviraj, the movie really runs on him and is possibly the first completely hero-centric film in Malayalam cinema in a long while.
And Prithviraj is probably the first true action-hero in Malayalam. The last guy to even have thrown a challenge would have been Gopi-saar in one of my all-time favorite movies, Commissioner! Prithviraj has arrived, ladies and gentlemen.
Make way, retire (M & M, this means you) and swoon over! (Give up, would be the advice to the not-so-better half of Manju Warrier)
To those of you who are wondering why I am commenting about a movie, two answers. One, I loved the performance and, two, BVN is on his way to the US, to embark on an MBA. Guess that means I stand in for him till he re-joins from over there.
Safe travels, mon amie. I hope this is a short interlude and not a long sojourn. We will all miss you!
