Detective Prabhakaran lands the job of solving the mystery of many young women disappearing. ..
www-yfm7 July 2015
Little does Prabhakaran know that he has acquired a shadow who watches every move of his. This leads to a comic set of interludes. Pandurang, the constable is funny, and is the epitome of the Bombay sakharam as depicted in Malayalam films. Rajamma (Sheela) is the younger sister of one who has gone missing, has taken it upon herself to track her missing sister. Prabhakaran and Sheela's path's cross. It is not love at first sight. They have many obstacles to hurdle. G.K Pilla, as Pachu Pilla is as usual credible crime boss, with iron control over his vast empire, with the help of his goons with guns. He has the usual trappings of power, palatial mansions and people at his beck and call to deal with every whimsical order. He is no fool and uses advanced technology to manage his fiefdom. Adoor Bhasi, is a comic dealer of antiques, who lives alone with a passion for gin.There is another forgettable song. He gets drawn into this complex masala of deceit and violence.

Prabhakaran introduces an undercover operative who proves to be quite useful, till unmasked, which puts the operative's life in danger. Commando style operations, and other action scenes keeps the plot moving quickly. Fight sequences are typical of the period, though the music is generally uninspiring.

The end, when it arrives, leaves one feeling that this film has some good acting, a pertinent storyline, good plot development and good fun.
