Oru Kuprasidha Payyan (An Infamous Chap) is an enchanting whodunit mystery + courtroom drama with less focus on who murdered a middle-aged singleton and more on the machinations of police procedure and judiciary, but as it rolls out, the contrived nature of the plot emerges and puts you off even though Madhupal directs his actors very well and they put up a believable show except for a few misses here and there. TN.
Saw the movie at the theater. Overall I don't think it was worth a theater experience, but still its a decent movie.
The starting part of the film lagged around a bit. Some parts seemed a bit unnecessary but I guess it was meant to establish Tovino's character. The second half of the film is much more exciting and thrilling. Nimisha does a wonderful job with her acting and Nedumudi Venu is good as well. In some aspects the movie reminded me of the Law and Order American TV series. It opened my eyes to various cases that happens in India.
I'd recommend it for the second half. However its not as good as Madhupal's previous films. I'd give it a 2.5/5.

The story of the movie is not something unheard of. But it has been presented from the right perspective - the perspective from which it needs to be seen. Strongly based on a very recent real incident of an orphan being made a convenient scapegoat by the police on a murder case, Madhupal has made some smart commercial cinematic choices to push the movie's appeal. Tovino has been made a strong and well muscled man while still keeping all the innocence and diffidence of the real protagonist. As Tovino hits back on some of the injustices done to him, the viewer feels some delight where as the real life victim enjoys no such frills.
The other choice is to replace the real life male novice lawyer by a female lawyer played by Nimisha. Nimisha and Tovino have both played their roles really well. Police station scenes have been presented convincingly. Action scenes were done very well in a slightly cinematic style.
However, I do not feel that the movie was as good as Ozhimuri for instance(Madhupal's earlier film).
It is good that through the movie, the incident has come to the attention of the public. Hope the real protagonist gets some support from the public and the police's tendency to arrest the "perfect catch" gets a pushback.
I think the greatest contribution by the makers here is that the makers took the initiative and decision to bring this incident to the masses. The presented subject is a wrong trend that has been there for years. May be, Madhupal chose a more commercially appealing approach on this one to get better audience reach.

One of the finest performance delivered by Tovino Thomas in his career.
Well crafted direction by Madhupal.
Good thrilling story which lead us to know the climax but director disappointed us in climax.After all it is a real story so this is not make any problem.It worths our money ,A one time watchable.
