This mammootty movie is a definitely a treat for any mammootty loving person. If you are a die-hard fan of mammootty this will probably be your most favorite movie. IF you are planning to watch this as family i wouldn't really recommend watching this movie for it involves topics like prostitution. Everything other than the plot and story is good in this movie. I excepted a lot more story from this movie because nithin is the son of the one and only renji panicker the greatest dialogue writer in malaylam cinema. I personally loved mammootty performance everything from the style of walking to the way dialogue delivery was spectacular. There are also a few good fight scenes. Do not go to watch this movies expecting a suspense thriller like me for this movie is not even close to being one. The only reason to watch this movie is for mammootty.

Kasaba does not belong in this decade!
PimpinAinttEasy19 May 2017
Malayalam cinema is brimming with talent and potential. There are many youngsters making films based in milieus and about themes that were ignored in the dark ages of the late 1990s uptil around 2009. So it is quite disheartening to see young Nidhin Ranji Panicker (son of the legendary Ranji Panicker) make such a generic film that appeals only to the masses. But the film's box office record indicates that even the masses rejected this insufferable garbage after the first weekend.
Mamooty phones it in as Rajan Zackariah. This must rank as one of his most uninspired performances. He dances rather than walks in many of the scenes with horrible populist music in the background. The talented Varalakshmi is wasted in a loud role.
Nothing about the film really works. It is all very shoddy and uninspired. It is a film by a lazy filmmaker in a privileged position. It comes across as one of those awful films directed by Shaji Kailas in the 90s or early 2000s. This film released in the wrong decade!

Warning: Spoilers
Kasaba is an investigation thriller. yet that part is missing from the movie.The movie follows the path stricken by Ranji Panicker and Mammootty's yesteryear police movies.In the process the character crosses the limits and puns and innuendos galore.The movie does not have a solid story.does not have suspense either.Villain is average and supporting cast also so- so.Mammootty's part provides life for the movie.Bgm was good and an average song. Fights are cliché one It will entertain the fans.. mammootty is a police officer. Son of his superior officer along with his fiancé is getting killed in a border town. police investigation was lagging. so mammootty's character sought a transfer to the police station and the investigation begins, rest of the story is all about how he tackle illegal activities in his jurisdiction and show offs..
Pathetic attempt at a movie

Just saw the movie and it was awful. The entry of Mammooty and the way he walks itself triggers your irritation. Lack of potent dialogues, lack of a story. The way Mammooty puts his hands inside the pants of a uniformed female police officer only encourages sexual predatory behavior. The movie is overflowing with dead people and prostitutes. Is it a movie on prostitutes or police? No one got a freaking idea. But Mammooty being a versatile actor should distance himself from movies like this. It was a real pain to watch the movie. The only people who did justice to their roles were Sampath and Varalakshmi. The movie was awarded a U/A certificate but the dialogues were very crass and difficult to hear in the presence of teenagers.
Pathetic movie

An excellent cop movie

Usually I don't watch Malayalam movies. But the controversies surrounding the movie, made me watch this movie. After watching this movie, I begin to wonder what kind of a country we are living in. There is nothing misogynistic in this movie. On the contrary, the real life is more vulgar and more misogynistic than what was depicted in this movie. Generally in Indian movies, actual life of common people are seldom portrayed. Film world is quite different from the real world. In real life most of the cops are ruthless, vulgar and without morality. We see and hear about them daily. Yet, when same cop was portrayed in a movie, as a hero, people refuse to accept him. What a paradox! The negative reviews about this film have taught me a lesson that all reviews need not be impartial and never judge a movie with negative reviews of people who have a personal grudge against a type of movies and against some particular actors or directors. Regarding this movie, acting is really great. Mammootty is a little bit older and gains some weight. That's the only minus point in this movie. Otherwise his acting is perfect, especially his walking style is unique and elegant. The ending of the movie is good and justified. This movie has made me to search for such good Malayalam movies and watch them. I'm really happy to know that most of the common people rejected the negative reviews about this movie and made this movie a box office success.
