Harisri Asokan chips in as Unni’s trusted sidekick Komalan. Rambha and Kavya add glamour to the proceedings.

Thuruppu Gulan » 150 Days
Direction » Johny Antony
Actor » Mammootty
Actress » Sneha
Location » Kochi and Kozhikode
Writers » Siby K. Thomas Udaykrishnan
Genre » Action / Comedy
Release Date » 14 April 2006 (India) more

As expected, Mammootty is here again as the super human hyperactive maverick, in all colors, fighting, throwing his legs to two songs, trying to be humorous and even at times mimicking himself. The actor seems to have forgotten his age and even his baseful voice that every portion of the film is dubbed to feel like a farce drama.Even though the basic plot seems to be promising, the film has lost the tempo in the second half, cluttered to become a star show. Script by Sibi.K.Thomas - Uday Krissna lacks luster and is even presented with less believability. But the festival moods all through and added masalas will definitely bring in good numbers of takers which is evident before all release centers now. All together, it is an out and out Mammmootty film - with the rest of the casts ranging from Sneha, Innocent, Kalashala Baabu, Jagathy Suraj, Harishree Ashokan and Cochin Haneef having not much to offer. The film’s music department by Alex Paul and Kaithapram is without any flavor delivering two un-hummable songs in the irascible lyrics.
