Surrounded by hate and a negative image, Dileep is trying hard to make his comeback. I watch movies for their content, and I do not let actors' personal lives cloud my judgment when it comes to watching a film. Given the chance, I approached this one with an open mind.
The story revolves around the mundane life of a caretaker in a posh residential building, which takes a turn when he forms a special bond.
The narrative is entirely focused on Pavithran, played by Dileep. If this story had been released in the '90s, there's no doubt it would have been a box office success. However, today, both the plot and execution feel outdated. The screenplay is weak and is stretched to such an extent that it tests your patience. I would be surprised if you don't find yourself pressing the fast forward button to get through the movie.
Dileep has returned to his usual element. He is a brilliant actor-there's no second thought about it-and I enjoyed his antics throughout my childhood. But now, seeing him engage in buffoonery feels cringe-worthy, to say the least. He really needs to contemplate his choices of films, both in terms of acting and producing, if he genuinely wants to achieve success. Additionally, a series of new actresses join the cast, each with limited screen time, and they all perform well in their roles. Johny Antony and Raadhika Sarathkumar are decent in theirs.
The comedy sequences work in parts and could be enjoyed as isolated reels, but as part of the narrative, they falter. The songs are merely bad, adding only length to the film. The scenes with the dogs are heartwarming and resonate with the audience. However, the movie ultimately fails to connect with viewers and does not entertain.
Reiterating the point, the world has moved on, and it's high time Dileep does too. His old techniques won't suffice anymore, and the chances of failing, as seen in this film, are at an all-time high. Watch a few comedy sequences by fast-forwarding; otherwise, just ignore it.
