Barely a story, told in 10 Chapters that too in non-linear narrative. The making shows superior craft and two action scenes stand out. Sadly, that is all there is to this film to take home with respect to the story or the characters. You laugh at them, laugh with them while they punch & kick their way to the climax. It is indeed a ballad of brawls and there are several shots that stand out in terms of technical aspect. Even when those shots push you dig a deeper meaning, it is of no use in this particular film.
The tone is vibrant, cartoonish as well and there were moments which were truly fun to watch. But the first half tested my patience as it hardly moved the story forward, till that theater fight. It was the second half where the film had some brownie points beyond the action scenes where one can relate to the hero and his gang's ego being bruised big time. Tovino Thomas and Shine Tom Chacko deliver big time whereas Kalyani Priyadarshan has nothing much to do as she remains a mere spectator to the chaos.
For all the talk on how beef is the only real meat and a superior one compared to other meats, one cannot help but wish the script had some meat to it. Given the brilliant filmmaking & non-linear narrative trick, it could have been a far better entertainer.
