The comedy is appreciated, but it definitely goes overboard, even with Mohanlal who tries to reinvent his classic slapstick, but hits a door. Other prominent cast like Bala, Mohan, Kishore, Siddique, and Makarand Deshpande all do a decent job. Lal overacts throughout the film and so does Sooraj Venjaramoodu, in the most sexist character of the year, forcing film critic Anna MM Vetticad to boil in fury. Sequences involving her go as much to annoy the audience, and even though her character's actions may be justified, Mukherjee's portrayal bites the dust.

With only a single expression in her kitty, she fails miserably to impress. Kamalinee Mukherjee, the lead lady, is ill-cast. I know it's a niche group, but this review is intended for them. Although, it does swerve into the South Indian masala film territory, which may not appeal to the informed audience. A well-constructed familiar story executed with ample use of computer graphics and loud sequences is what the film essentially is. One can predict what is going to happen in the next five or fifteen or forty-five minutes and that is the sole reason why this adventure drama cannot be described with superlative adjectives. So, yes the stunts written by Udayakrishna look good because of CGI, but lack logic, and gravity for that matter. Having said that, one should not expect novelty from Mr Vysakh his filmography on Wikipedia or his last film is enough to understand the types of films he makes, but let us not ignore the first statement of third paragraph of this review. His chops as a hunter really is what makes the film half entertaining, along with the story that is not novel but at least bearable. Only Mohanlal can pull off what Murugan does as a character, often supplementing his idiosyncrasy with that flamboyant air and glamorous countenances of his.

Never mind! The film is largely made out of highly energetic stunt sequences that are choreographed decently with good photography. The massive number of adjectives used to introduce the actor in the credits makes a real cinema enthusiast slightly uncomfortable for actors are only vehicles used by filmmakers to tell their story. Not only to entertain its massive audience, but to also cash in on the lead actor's wild and baffling popularity. Before even the film starts, the starting credits are enough to understand why the film was made.

Since his brother and his professional success is everything for Murugan, he agrees to help, and then starts the calamitous phase in the lives of everyone involved, including that of Daddy Girija (Jagapathi Babu), an unscrupulous "merchant". Things begin to go south when Murugan's now grown-up brother, Manikkuttan (Vinu Mohan), pursuing MBA in the city, sends two of his friends to the forest seeking help from Murugan. Chip off the old block, he turns into a survivalist and quickly learns the workings of the jungle, which conveniently helps him in his trademark endeavors. After the death of his mother and hunter father, Murugan is left to fend for himself alone in the wild with his newborn brother. Murugan (Mohanlal) is an illiterate hunter who lives with his wife and daughter and is revered by the tribal villagers for he is the only person in the whole forest who can fight and subdue man-eating tigers mistaken to be leopards. One of the most anticipated Malayalam films of the year, this action adventure cannot be termed a disappointment, but as a welcome affair in the industry starving of technological development.
