Gradually Deteriorates To Self-Destruct. ♦ 44%
nairtejas19 April 2014
Even at first look, the whole setup looks kinds jumpy as Dulquer Salman tries to act his role of a lazy son with lots of hard work. The first 20 minutes are enough to turn you off, but then something tells you to go on. So you go on.

Then, characters pop in, so does the humor. The story goes nowhere; of a Mobile shop owner who falls for a chic girl who comes to his shop to recharge her phone balance. The next 1 hour is full of mindless humor (laughable, though). But then, the plot samples a cyber short-cut where the characters get involved in a cyber-crime just for the heck of it. Siddique was wasted. Mamu Koya looks old.

Lots of useless sequences may bore you, but for Nazriya Nazim, you can hold on a bit. The last 20 minutes are hopeless and the climax felt like the writers had run short of words, so they ended it with a rather cheesy ending.

The whole drama concludes to nothing. The plot tries to prove many a things & also manages to convey a message or two but this is not how cinemas are made, the debut makers should know. No good music, unnecessary cartoonish sound effects & one hopelessly over-smart Tamil speaking character who can code brilliant apps but cannot speak English properly.

BOTTOM LINE: Strictly watchable on terms of humor, and sympathy to the actors.

A Movie solely relying on "One liners"
agentgvp-420-28721618 April 2014
Dulquer Salman's film has always followed a certain pattern.A Muslim boy raised with lots of expectation, love.Which makes him feel the things given to him are for granted.Then there is the twist in the plot, which most often is being deported back to India, and then heroine enters.The rest of the film is about the journey of redemption of the boy to a MAN!, accompanied by few one liners by the sidekick best friend who is more "mallu" than Dulquer. This movie is no different except that the Muslim boy never goes abroad. Santhanam does a silly cameo of a "Computer genius" who changes the life of Afsal forever.The plot could have explored the situation in a much more imaginative way rather than filling the script with meaningless dragging sequences. The characters have no depth and no substantiating motives for the action portrayed in the movie hence you never feel for the characters.We feel they are doing it coz they are told to and are incapable of deciding for themselves.

Direction & Script : Is by debutant Sarath A Haridasan.Have to improve to leave a signature in the industry.

Performance : Its a young cast.Could do better.Not their best(I hope).

Music : Average

Cinematography :Average

Editing : Poor.

Dialogues : Poor

My Rehash : The debutant could have the opportunity given to him in a much more novel way.

Final Verdict : Watch it if you are a big fan of the cast or just want to kill some time.It is advised that in either case leave you brains out of it.

Beyond Average
harelives6 November 2018
As my taste for Malayalam cinema only started about a year ago, I can truly say that I haven't gone through a lot of genres. But since it is DQ, this movie has been on the list for a long time. It's a good movie with a simple plot. Loved DQ. Songs are also good. Gopi is always doing his best. But I'm not fully satisfied with the ratings. Of course this is not a story for deep emotions and cinematic fans but a simple movie in the modern age.

Good Story, Awesome acting.
ashfiquzzoha13 May 2018
The story is awesome. I was shocked to see this movie having such a low rating .Then I remembered a thing -"Different people, different choices." I really liked this movie. This movie has some great lessons for life. The most important is not to commit any crime . The chemistry between Dulquer Salmaan and Nazriya Nazim was awesome. Including them all other actors did brilliant job. The story is about a lazy guy becoming industrious and committing some crimes.
