A hard hitting movie about gangs and teams on the other side of the law. The movie is all about power play and territorial fights amongst different groups. A lot of violence and focus on pork here. Storyline is edgy and keeps us involved After some time we wish all the fighting would stop, but it never does. There is always the need to show one up-manship. All the fight scenes are realistic and the climax scene is a long 11 minute single shot with about a 100 actors! Brilliant camera work and direction!
The songs are rustic and foot- tapping while the background score is extraordinary. The lyrics are superb! The actors are brilliant and the movie gives us a good glimpse of the food and festivities of the locality. Gang wars, booze, romance, fights and pork are the centre on the film. There are also a couple of romantic stories interspersed in it. The story follows Vincent Pepe (Antony Varghese) who wants to be a powerful leader of a righteous gang that will rule the town of Angamaly, like his seniors. The lead, Anthony Varghese is truly brilliant and has won a few awards for his role too. He is handsome and has a bewitching smile too, that is seen rarely in the film. He is mostly in fight mode.
Frankly speaking, all the running around, screaming and the incessant fighting gave me a headache. Yes, it is a well made movie though. Not a fan of too much violence in films so I am not too keen to recommend this movie. The movie is critically acclaimed and has also achieved great commercial success when it was released in 2017. So you can decide to watch it if you don't mind a lot of violence.
