Udaykrishnan's twisted story of a cunning and learned thief (Biju Menon) helping a gullible Deputy Superintendent of Police (Siddique) crack a murder case is as ridiculous as it sounds, but where Suresh Divakar's Aanakkallan (Big Thief) shines is in the comedy department. The first half - which takes its viewers through a journey with the police-thief duo as they set out together in a family landscape to hunt for clues - delivers laugh out comedy, even for the stiff-hearted. The slapstick is very good despite it resorting to foolish acts where veteran actors like Siddique, Suresh Krishna, and even Saikumar are made to dance. Unfortunately, the comedy crime drama goes back to the basics and tries to impress you with its predictable twists, giving you a bad taste in the mouth. The flip-flopping between genres and a stream of incoming new characters (one played by Anusree) further tires you as you wish all the drama had ended sooner. But Aanakkallan takes about two eternities to finish and then ends abruptly. Just like this review. TN.

Save your time by without watching this crap movie. This movie is not at all an entertaining, even for Biju Menon's fans it is not an okay movie. Story telling is like serial on televisions, such a substandard quality movie. Biju Menon should pick his movies very carefully. He just pick up a crap movie, which contains a lot of cringe story and comedies. He must really focus on story and his character on the story. I'm sorry to tell. Absolutely not recommended for anyone to watch. As all we know the same director which directed "ivan maryadharaman" and this was absolutely even trash. Remade from Telugu film.
