9/10
Perhaps the best film I've seen in 2016
7 January 2018
~mild spoilers~ Plot: Journey with a police officer and how he handles his daily petty case.

Considering the fact that the film has no story, yet it has kept me engaged throughout. Like many stated it was indeed a realistic cop film infact I couldn't agree anymore. Despite the realistic label given to film it does has its flaws like our hero Biju remind us of Bharatchandran IPS how he bashes political head, human rights and thugs, which can be ignored blindfoldedly. Film has manage to bring many socially and sensitive relevant topics like drugs, human rights etc. Many characters made their presence here and there and ended their story without much revelation, Realistic storystelling? Maybe I suppose. Thats how real life is.

Acting wise Suraj with small appearance outclassed everyother actors, best from him so far. Nivin pauly was good in parts at times couldn't bring the intensity when needed. Anu emmanuel has nothing much to do except to look pretty. Guy who sang muthe ponne should be applauded. Characters(read actors) involved in drug scene were quite good especially the actors who portrayed parents role.

Music was pretty decent IMO. I liked chiri punchiri song played towards the end and Vande matharam was pretty good. Bgm at certain portion was really good. Technical sides were good especially helly cam shot in the end reminded me of Fahad faasil's Friday(film).

Overall, film with no story line managed to engaged me that too after repeated viewings, something that many film fail to accomplish. I'll rate this film to be the best to come out this year. Worth watching! Rating:8.5/10
