I kinda had a good feeling about the movie thinking it's Vineeth Srinivasan and the guy wouldn't go anywhere near a below average movie, Guess I was wrong entirely!!

The script is actually not so bad i would say, but the casting totally ripped it off! A lot , i mean a lot of scenes feel pretty cooked up and the characters are making a fool out of themselves throughout this film. The background scores seem sarcastically funny,maybe the director intended the same. However the dubbing totally went south with the character of shine tom Chacko, the lip movements and the dialogues are totally out of sync like even a kindergartener can figure that out. In many scenes especially on the second half of the movie I felt like shine was pretty much behaving like an MDMA junkie who's about to loose his it. The character enactment by all the peeps on screen are subpar and even a noob film school fresher might have put them to shame. Also no genuine logic applies here on screen while they are trying to show a hacker at play with shine and others. The ip addresses shown are common subnet numbers any tech savvy human can make out also the data recovery screen they show is almost like some stuff from kochu tv.

It's 2023 and they are still doing this!! #facepalm The only thing I liked about the movie was the climax and a lil comic acting from Vineeth for a couple of minutes. I would definitely not encourage anyone to watch this.

A police officer try to frame a innocent paper boy but it's not workout... Because that paper boy seems good hacker and intelligent soo it backfires to him... Good story and poor execution... One time watchable movie..!

Other review... A self deprecating police officer who is down on luck and hasn't had any career promotion's tries to frame an innocent to make fame, but it backfires on him.

The movie falls somewhere between good and bad. It has noticeable direction flaws and even experienced actors deliver subpar performances. The script lacks originality, and when compared to "Mukundan Unni Associates," it falls short in greatness.

Nevertheless, it's a decent watch. In the last few minutes, Vineeth Sreenivasan nailed the entire show with his humorous mannerisms, and Sreenivasan, known for his witty dialogues, makes a commendable return to Malayalam cinema. It's heartwarming to see father and son sharing the screen.

All in all, it's not a terrible choice for a movie night. Keep your expectations in check and enjoy it as a time-killer.

Even though this movie received brickbats from around the corner, I gave it a go since veteran actor Sreenivasan and his famous actor-director son Vineeth Sreenivasan joined hands for a full length role.

It tells the story of a police officer who is a laughing stock due to his foolish antics. He frames a guy for a murder of social media celebrity because of his inability to find the real culprit. This comedic murder investigation takes a hilarious turn as when the suspense is revealed.

The idea of making a comedy investigation movie is great, as Indian cinema in general hasn't explored that genre much. The movie starts on the right note with the central lead being a laughing stock for his buffoonery as he investigates the case, but slowly it just gets too silly to believe. Even the scenes in court are mere mockery, and the same goes for everything else, which makes it hard for viewers to take anything seriously. It definitely is a good opportunity lost, where you start to cringe after a point.

Vineeth Sreenivasan adapts to the role with perfection, and such characters suit him. Sreenivasan is decent, and it's always charming to watch yesteryear actors. Shine Tom Chacko is in his usual element, and Malavika Menon is fine in her limited screen time. The romantic track between them comes across as a sore thumb, and featuring them in a romantic song just adds to the runtime, which could have been easily avoided.

A movie like this needs the comedy angles to be strong enough to make you laugh until your stomach aches. Sadly, nothing of that sort happens here, and you only get a few chuckles in a few scenes. Director Jaylal Divakaran's drama is a below-average film that could be watched when you don't have much else to watch.

"oola" film like the name of one of the characters. Very bad film making. There is nothing good about this movie especially with such a star cast. Over acting by everyone - guess they were made to. Court scenes very similar to the ones in the recent movies. Looks like they were "inspired" by lot of movies. Waste of time, money and effort.
