In terms of performance, this time we will see a one-man show by Suraj and Prithviraj in the second half. In the first half, Suraj Venjaramoodu played the role of Assistant Commissioner Sajjan Kumar and in the second half, Prithviraj’s lawyer Arvind Swaminathan played the lead role.
They are linked to the investigation into the brutal murder of Central University professor Saba Mariam (Mamta Mohandas). The scrolls of the Sabah case satanic murder, which includes elements of the Hyderabad murder case that rocked the country in 2019, are opening on the big screen. And some questions. When the student agitation intensifies over the death of the most beloved teacher, it is written into the same script of the communal riots taking place in the country.
Feel the sharp thorn in the side of your emotions every moment. Saba is the eldest daughter of Shabana, a retired headmistress played by Shari. The heroic atmosphere provided to him by activists, the media, the student body and the general public continues until the end of the first part, when Sajjan, who pretends to be an angel in front of him and his family, including his two daughters, rallies and wipes out the ‘culprits’ behind the murder.
It should be noted that another hero has not yet appeared. When director Tijo Jose Antony appoints Prithviraj as the protagonist for the court room drama of the second half, the audience witnesses the phenomenon of separation of paddy and wheat.
As the script breaks down one by one the pitifulness, racism and anarchy of the common man who has to fall victim to the political horse-trading, many faces of denial of justice emerge. The conviction that one of them is from our own country, leaving behind a note and many mysteries, will pass through my conscience. The film marks Fatima Latif’s death in a hostel room while studying at IIT Madras.
The events are centered on a place called Ramanagaram. In this place, which is not Kerala or Tamil Nadu, dialogues in which four languages are spoken and sometimes two languages are mixed are heard in many places. The climax scene has the effect of ending the second half of the film quickly. The scissors on the editing table needed a bit of work, even though there were no stones anywhere in the second half. Perhaps the sudden break experience at the climax might have been sustained that much.
The music by Jacques Bijoy and the camera by Sudeep Ilaman are praised in the technical section. Shammi Thilakan, who came in as senior lawyer Raghuram Iyer, and Vinci Aloysius, who led the student movement, are to be commended.
