Sometimes you know what you're signing up for, but you do it anyway. I expected a poor outcome, but not *this* poor, especially considering the star cast.
A drunk man, heartbroken, accidentally walks into a lion's cage, sparking a chain of hilarious events as he tries to escape with the help of a zoo employee who gets stuck with him.
The film claims to be inspired by real life, but the plot is wafer-thin and hardly progresses, leaving you yawning. For a comedy, there are very few moments where you actually chuckle. The absurdity of the film is apparent throughout the screenplay.
Kunchacko Boban overdoes his role to the point where you cringe, which is surprising since he usually performs well. Suraj Venjaramoodu does fine, but there's only so much one can do with a script this bad. Interestingly, Shruti Ramachandran showcases her acting chops in her limited screen time. The other characters are as silly as can be, with Manju Pillai, Shobi Thilakan, and many more contributing little substance to the movie.
The media circus featuring Ramesh Pisharody and Parvathi R. Krishna is an interesting watch and feels realistic in this otherwise absurd drama. Logic takes a backseat, and the jokes fall flat. Jay K, as both director and writer, needs to refine his skills. The scenes with the lion, however, are done quite well and deserve praise.
This is one of the most cringe-worthy movies of the year, and you should stay as far away from it as possible.
