There have often been instances when superstars of Indian cinema have rubbed off filmmakers in the wrong way when it came to their availability and schedule. One such fallout had taken place between megastar Ajith and director-actor Gautham Vasudev Menon. It all started after Gautham was supposed to direct the actor’s 50th film but things did not go ahead as planned.

Gautham Vasudev Menon was left extremely disappointed when Ajith decided to work with Venkat Prabhu instead after making him wait for a long period of time when it came to the dates. He recalled how the Good Bad Ugly actor suddenly went abroad for his racing and after coming back, chose to go ahead with Prabhu’s film Mangaatha, instead. Menon further called out the actor for telling him to wait for one year to go ahead with their movie.

What’s Good: Mammootty’s various looks throughout the film is impressive, except for the final one. The fight sequences are well-executed, and though a few feel unnecessary to the core plot, they’re still enjoyable to watch.

What’s Bad: The film suffers from a weak script. At times, it’s unclear how certain events unfold. The storyline feels stretched, with unnecessary subplots that add little value.

Loo Break: You could take a short break during the second robbery sequence. It lacks the visual appeal of the first and feels like it was added just to boost the robbery count. It seems the makers didn’t put much effort into making it stand out.

Created and directed by Milind Rau, this show is a decent attempt to work around a genre that is tricky at best.
