The movie is set in kochi and its outskirts, and takes us through the life line of a Sub Inspector (almost one month in his rather ordinary but eventful life). No extravagant sets, no Punch dialogues, No high octane stunts. In fact it has nothing out of the ordinary, everything is shown as it is.But still its entertaining enough for those who likes a reality check every now and then. Nivin Pauly in his first outing as a police officer didn't disappoint, he presented a rather believable (than a applaudable) cop, there are some bits of goose bump moments just for the fans, but still overall a good transition from the lover boy(not saying that no one could have done it better than him). The ambiance of the police station is captured like never before, and the director Abrid Shine deserves a pat on the back for that alone.Director and scripters have also tried to highlight some social relevant issues too, which is very welcome. Our society definitely needs some reminders.The movie stays apart from the rest of the so called investigative thriller masalas with its innate simplicity and realistic portrayal of a cops life with all the positives and negatives and challenges faced. Surajs Venjaramoods cameo is one to be looked out for. Almost all of the supporting cast and other characters excelled in subtly.Even though the whole movie is just a chain of events with no connectivity what so ever, you never feel that while you are watching it, and that i think is the biggest merit of the movie. 80's feel of the songs will definitely win over some of us who are into melodies and things. Nothing was out of place and some drone/helicam shots did show a beautiful birds-eye of Kochi. Note: its not an out of the box movie but definitely one that steps over the normal boundary of cop flicks. Don't wait for the DVD's on this one, go in with zero hype and you will be entertained.
