Review:

Since mine is a bit late review please let me skip the plot.Siddique-lal one of the most performed pair of 1990's reuniting after 21 years. That prompted me to have a peek on this one. I really doubt if this one had any involvement from the duo except the last 15 minutes, from what i have seen in Honey Bee i am forced to infer that Lal Jr must have been a Ghost director of this movie.In fact his involvement (As i feel) is the only saving factor for this mediocre plot.
Siddique-Lal always had a uncomplicated story without much deep characters nor loose stems.This time they had a poor story executed a mediocre style. Comedy was good , thanks to the excellent timings of Balu varghese and Dileep. Dileep is the only actor in mollywood who started with the tom and jerry type comic roles and still finds success only in such roles. The reason is simple the audience loves him a lot and they love him doing such funny act even though many a times it goes unendurable. Dileep is around 50 now but he looks half his age in the movie. Neatly dressed , well trimmed and well presented.The saving grace of the movie is the excellent combo of Dileep and balu but a deterrence from the poor story line was always evident.Asha sarath perfomed well as Devika varma but frankly speaking im fed up of watching her in such roles.There is a scene where she fires bullets at Dileep in her office.A scene that might tempt you to leave the cinema at once.Its 2016 and still siddique lal used  such poor ideas which irks the audience. A change in the cast for such bold roles is inevitable. Lal as usual had a cool look with hard dialogues delivered at its perfection.Usually dileep movies are expected to have good songs but here i could not find any. Editing was good and cinematography was top notch.
The story line in the latter half moves on to a beauty contest held at the arab state where Anjali portrayed by Madonna sebastian is countered by Natasha Suri for the beauty pageant title.Madonna sebastian was a perfect miscast for the movie.She could not perform nor match natasha suri nor any models showcased in the contest.Her expressions nor beauty justifies her selection for the role. Though it might have been a bit costly samantha/ Kajjal Aggarwal or even Vedhika/mamta would have been an apt choice.It was mesmerizing to see natasha suri perform in ramp and she looked damn hot.

The movie had certain good instances and more of bad ones.Dileep - madonna combo failed to deliver completely.Dileep has worked with many a kind of heroines in the past and madonna was the worst among those. The cute celin whom we adored in Premam was lost but a new anjali who could not adapt to her character was blended out. To perform in a ramp its always good to have a model who has had enough exposure so that the audience doesn't feel awkward. Over all the movie has nothing new to offer but can give a worst nightmare if compared to old siddique - Lal movie.

Verdict : Partly watchable

Rating :2.5/5

Theatre Verdict : Super Hit

Audience response : Poor ....a couple of boos could be heard when madonna entered the ramp.
