For any aspiring artist, Joju George is a name that is bound to inspire them to reach for their dreams. From a junior artist who was one among the crowd to emerging as one of the most talented actor in the industry is no mean task & it is a testament to his hard work, passion & unwavering belief in his ability. Hence when he had announced that he was venturing into direction, it had created headlines for obvious reasons. Finally after more than a year into its making, the movie have hit the screens & to be honest, it was certainly a credible effort.
Giri (Joju George) & his buddies were the main players in the Thrissur mafia syndicate who stuck with each other through thick & thin, so much so they were literally a big family. The movie unfolds with two youngsters, Don (Sagar Surya) & Siju (Juniaz) who worked as mechanics make an entry into contract killing with a murder right in the middle of the city. Soon enough, they cross paths with Giri who beats them up for misbehaving with his wife. This sets off a series of events which literally puts the city into high alert.
Apart from calling the shots, Joju has also penned the script which had the template of a typical cat & mouse revenge action drama. Even as the story was quite normal, what made it truly unique was the attention that he had given to each main character & the emotional equations involved between them. So much so, we absolutely detest the antagonists & root for the opposite side to have their vengeance. The manner in which Joju has executed the whole thing gives it the feel of Joshy's directorial style. The technical aspects were top notch be it Venu & Jinto George's cinematography, Manu Antony's excellent cuts which made the action sequences thrilling & music by Vishnu Vijay, Sam CS & Santhosh Narayanan that blended well with the mood.
Kudos to Joju's choice of artists was a mix of freshers & known faces and his selection was spot on as most of them did complete justice to their roles. The best among them is undoubtedly the brilliant performance showcased by Sagar & Junaiz who were so convincing in their body language & expression that it was literally hard not to hate them. Joju as usual was top notch along with Abhaya Hiranmayi and ably supported by Bobby Kurian, Seema, Prasanth Alexander etc.
Verdict: The USP of the movie is undoubtedly Sagar & Juniaz who has given exceptional performances. It also proves Joju's ability as a film maker who gives an engaging flick which was technically well executed. Do check it out!!!
Rating: 3/5
