Chalakkudykkaran Changathy (Friend from Chalakudy) again proves that biopics cannot be made by everybody even as Vinayan aims high here with the life and times of Kalabhavan Mani and turns his story into a lecture on what alcoholism and inferiority complex can do to you, garnished with his typical lacklustre style and crass comedy that is the hallmark of Mani and his work in general.
