Expectations
ZERO - yup had no expectations from the movie after a series of flops that Molywood's Mega Star gave us, but decided to watch it FDFS since it belong to Crime/Thriller genre, one of my Favourite.
Story
Story is about Balachandran (Mammootty) an angry cop who is always fights with people and constantly in suspension. One day a kingpin politician's sun is brutally murdered and crucified. Eventhough under suspension Balan starts his own investigation. Whether he nabs the culprit forms the rest of the story.
The first half was very interesting with plenty of one liners and moving entertainingly at a leisurely pace. Mammootty was in his elements and after a log time seems intrested in te proceedings with his uber cool suspended-cop act. But all hell broke loose in the second half. It is hard to beleive that the same guy wrote the 2nd half. Once again, after JOV, after a promising beginning everything gets ruined in the 2nd half.
If the 2nd half was better the film would have had better prospects at the box office.But now that's highly unlikely.
The supporting cast of Mamookoya, Mani, Siddique, the 4 teenage debutants where good. Heroine Ragini Divedi is a disappointment even in the 2/3 scenes she got
Dialogues were surprisingly good, there are many to please fans.
Songs were Bad. Direction was average, Editing was OK, keeping the run length under 2hr 10mins. BG was avg too.

Not disappointing, because there was no expectations, an average film for normal viewers, Fans can watch it for ikka's perfomance in the first half.
Rating 2.5/5
Box Office Flop
Final Word: So Close Yet SO Far !!!
