Starring : Self-Proclaimed superstar Prithviraj a.k.a Puluthiraju as DCP Niranjan
Language : Malayalam, English , Hindi, Tamil (Reason: Puluthi can speak all four at random).
Runtime (Actual Movie): Doesn't matter. It feels much longer than it actually is.
Runtime (Slo-Mo): About an hour. (Now, who taught film-makers like Amal Neerad and B Unnikrishnan that more super-slo-mos mean style?)
Release Date : 17th Nov 2010. Bakrid. (Relevance: Spoiled an otherwise enjoyable holiday)
Make Up : Puluthi is portraying a fiery cop but the thick lipstick and rouged cheeks make him look like a wimp.
Worst Dialogues : Puluthi (To superior officers, villains etc), "I dare because I'm daring, damn daring".
Classic!Puluthi again (This time, to Home minister), "....I'm speaking for the oppressed and the repressed and the suppressed and depressed and the.....", the list goes on and I lost track.
A gem indeed! Puluthi (To Sampath), "Enne paartha bhayame bhayanthu odiduven".
Now, we thought Vijayakanth had patented 'bhayam' lines! But, Puluthi is close on his heels.Best Dialogues : Commissioner of Police to Puluthi, "You are a pain in the ass".
Wish somebody told him this to his face outside the confines of the movie world!Heroine#1 to Puluthi, "He was an asshole".
Again, we wish the subject was Puluthi himself!Anecdote on Heroine#1: Puluthi interrogates the girl with questions set in English and Hindi. She responds likewise, narrating her life as the girlfriend of Simon Palathinkal, a business scion. That life had its share of songs and dances, as we get to see in the flashback scenes. But the girl singing in fluent Malayalam?
Now, that is impressive!Anecdote on Heroine#2 : Interrogation time, again. This girl is Simon's secretary and also happens to be Puluthi's ex-girlfriend. Puluthi shows several photographs of hers in compromising positions with Simon. Her explanation? The boss used to shoot pictures with his arms around her even before she had the time to react. Not once, but several times!
Say, what? Sati Savitri in torn jeans!Worst Named Characters : Paaramada Subhash, RDX Anil, Mullaani Biju, Martin Dinakar etc.
We thought Pattas Balu and Pan Parag Ravi were bad names. How wrong!
Footnote : Kanichukulangarayil CBI, Brahmastram and now this. Our film-makers better stay away from the 'based on a true story' stuff.
