Aggressive as it may sound, the screenplay is nothing but comic. How Mahesh gathers courage to find the guy who beat him up and to retaliate just to show that he's a man with dignity. And watching it unfold is the most delightful thing you will see in a Malayalam film all year. What follows is an unabashed intention of seeking vengeance, but has Mahesh got the balls? The most interesting element about the film is inarguably the butterfly effect which causes the street fight. In love with a girl (Anusree) whom he wishes to marry and settle down with, things are going generally good for Mahesh until when he fatefully gets involved in an unrelated street fight, ultimately gifting him a black eye and several bruises along with ounces of shame for having been beaten up by a nobody in front of his own people in the middle of the town where his studio sits. Mahesh (Faasil) is a small-time photographer who lives with his aging father in a town located in the hilly district of Idukki in Kerala. And the another great thing about this sweet little dramedy is that an evening show in the cinema theater (INOX) was houseful, which is a rare occurrence in Mumbai. This is the first Malayalam film after Drishyam (2013) where some of the audience got up and applauded during the end credits.
