In this lame attempt to belatedly pat oneself on the back for standing up to the toxic fumes of male aggression and transgression, the dependable Shine Tom Chacko, well, shines in the title role. Shine, a gifted actor even in uneasy circumstances (this being one of them), plays what was once known as a womanizer. This film updates the malaise, though no one really calls Vivekanand a sex addict, his victims acknowledge him as a “weirdo” and “sadist”.
