Once upon a time in Kochi
A small cinematic drama on drug syndicate set on the backdrop of Kochi.
The plot of the movie is about a young dynamic Police officer who sets out an investigation on the drug mafia in Kochi over his very much personal loss & sentiments,and the event that happens forms the skeleton of the story.
The story is relevant currently but the way Nadirshah treated the movie was a bit cringe for the audience. He tried to mix few humourous moments in the movie but failed miserably.
Mubins debut attempt as a lead actor in the movie was good as a performer. Good performances by Arjun Ashokan,Devika,Johny Antony & Shivajith. Nadirshah made good use of few so called Villains of Malayalam industry in humour areas.
Story, Screenplay by the hitmaker Rafi was not upto the mark and this makes audience come to a judgement that he might have reached the saturation point.
The storytelling formula used by mixing present and past through flashback created confusions and no connection between scenes were felt in certain areas and Shameer Muhammed couldn't be of any help in the editing table.
Rating - 2.5/5.
