Kavi Uddheshichathu..?

Nothing much to recommend in this film except for the scene where Asif Ali fights a snake inside a well. That and the part where the young men from the village attend a selection camp for the police force.

This is yet another film about rivalries between various gangs in a Kerala village that culminates in a handball tournament. There have been so many films about gang rivalries in Malayalam cinema. This film brings nothing new to the old story about the rivalries between various classes of people. Some films like Pulimurugan and Kasabah shock you with the audaciousness of their mediocrity. And there are ones like Kavi Udeshichathu which are just dull, repetitive and banal.

Asif Ali and Biju Menon phone it in. Ganapathi was quite impressive. Lena was insufferable as a tough woman who rides a bike. Balu Varghese was terribly self conscious. Avoid if you can. It is not even worth watching on TV.
