Nivin Pauly who plays title role of the film is the son of a priest Prakash Raj. An incident during his childhood lands him in the juvenile home after which he becomes a rogue and starts working for a local gangster.
Meanwhile, Natty Nataraj, a boat mechanic flees, his village after the murder of a close friend. The movie talks about the life of both these characters and how a series of events makes them meet and leads to the climax.
Nivin Pauly has shed his image of a lover boy in this movie and has taken up the role of a troubled youngster. He has done almost everything right for the role.
However, at times, the audience might feel that he has more potential to deliver. He has changed his body language and dialogue delivery to suit that of a gangster.
Natty has got an role equivalent to that of a lead character and he has got into the skin of the role. His performances in few crucial scenes have come out very well.
Shraddha Srinath plays the role of a journalist and has done her part well, but she could have been utilised more. The other actors such as Prakash Raj, Tulasi and Lakshmipriya Chandramouli have have given life to their respective characters.
Young director Gautham Ramachandran has taken a bold move making some changes from the original movie Ulidavaru Kandante and has added some commercial elements to the movie.
He has also infused some new elements in the second half and they have come out well. However, the director has scope to improve in the future.
Music by Ajaneesh Lokanath has elevated the action sequences and has given an added boost to the mood of the movie. The songs too have come out well.
Go and enjoy the movie for the quality performances of the actors in it.
