Real life incident exposed
cinish27 November 2018
The story of the movie is not something unheard of. But it has been presented from the right perspective - the perspective from which it needs to be seen. Strongly based on a very recent real incident of an orphan being made a convenient scapegoat by the police on a murder case, Madhupal has made some smart commercial cinematic choices to push the movie's appeal. Tovino has been made a strong and well muscled man while still keeping all the innocence and diffidence of the real protagonist. As Tovino hits back on some of the injustices done to him, the viewer feels some delight where as the real life victim enjoys no such frills.

The other choice is to replace the real life male novice lawyer by a female lawyer played by Nimisha. Nimisha and Tovino have both played their roles really well. Police station scenes have been presented convincingly. Action scenes were done very well in a slightly cinematic style.

However, I do not feel that the movie was as good as Ozhimuri for instance(Madhupal's earlier film).

It is good that through the movie, the incident has come to the attention of the public. Hope the real protagonist gets some support from the public and the police's tendency to arrest the "perfect catch" gets a pushback.

I think the greatest contribution by the makers here is that the makers took the initiative and decision to bring this incident to the masses. The presented subject is a wrong trend that has been there for years. May be, Madhupal chose a more commercially appealing approach on this one to get better audience reach.

nimisha and tovino's performance was genuine..good drama
manojmuralidharan12 May 2020
Tovino as an innocent man, and Nimisha as a timid inexperienced lawyer, was perfectly pictured. She took care to show her fear and anxiety in every scene and contained herself with nuances..Tovino's role as a quiet individual who is mocked by society and a person who is laughed at but a very likable honest guy ..and played it to "almost" perfection. The second half is courtroom drama, but it kept me curios. Good movie and nice to see Tovino in a very touching role. I recommend

One-Line Review: Oru Kuprasidha Payyan / Engaging Yet Contrived Mystery Drama / 6 Stars
nairtejas22 May 2020
Oru Kuprasidha Payyan (An Infamous Chap) is an enchanting whodunit mystery + courtroom drama with less focus on who murdered a middle-aged singleton and more on the machinations of police procedure and judiciary, but as it rolls out, the contrived nature of the plot emerges and puts you off even though Madhupal directs his actors very well and they put up a believable show except for a few misses here and there. TN.

One time watch
jineshcp13 September 2019
An ordinary film uplifted by some good performances . The film is good in some parts (second half) and equally bad in some parts (first half). Overall a one time watch.

A very powerful movie with adept portrayal of various aspects of society
jasimabubacker2 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The movie portrays different aspects of modern society as well as various unjust practices of law and police. The movie reflected a few similar ideals to the movie "kireedam" by director Sibi Malayil where society brands and labels innocent and good hearted people as criminals or wrong doers due to one mistake. Similarly "Ajayan " played by Tovino Thomas is branded by his friends,family, society as a criminal for a crime he did not commit. The film also points out how people only act just when their own life is not at risk and are ready to lie in order to save their own skins

The movie also emphasizes the unjust and rather inhumane practice of the very law enforcers we trust to brand out justice. Due to overwhelming pressure by media and society. The police force innocents into submission and make them responsible for cases.

Overall the movie was very insightful on various cruel and unjust practices not only of lawful bodies but also greatly of society. Tovino Thomas gave a spectacular performance as a meek introverted man who was a victim of circumstances his performance was very heart touching. The movie draws a lot of attention to real life incidents of similar nature

Poor acting skills and Flawed Script
ijas0717 August 2019
Thread was good. Actors were poorly executed. Tovino have done a good job playing Ajayan. However, Nimisha Sajayan's character didn't look as a genuine act, so was Thondimuthal fame SI. Nedumudi Venu's role were not used fairly. Court scenes could have done better and not gripping as I was expecting it to be.

Below Average movie and one time watch is OK.

OK...Hmm...
joppanLive15 August 2019
The movie is OK..Felt there are many loose ends in the script and could have been made better with more gripping and tight script. 'OKP' tried to pull out a Malayalam version of 'Jolly LLB' in its second half and to the truth, it somewhat achieved it decently (not in a fulfilling way though). Definitely not a must watch movie..but still a OK movie to spend time.

Very realistic. Don't miss it. Some real stuff waiting there
bensonbinny25 November 2018
Hats off madhupal and jeevan job. Excellent theme and screenplay well portrayed..it reflects how much time it can take for a decision to be made by the judicial system and also reveal manipulations and conspiracy by investigatng agents especially in kerala. We need more story telllers and not manmade superstars.

Decent movie on Indian judicial and police system
ayocaramba16 January 2019
Saw the movie at the theater. Overall I don't think it was worth a theater experience, but still its a decent movie.

The starting part of the film lagged around a bit. Some parts seemed a bit unnecessary but I guess it was meant to establish Tovino's character. The second half of the film is much more exciting and thrilling. Nimisha does a wonderful job with her acting and Nedumudi Venu is good as well. In some aspects the movie reminded me of the Law and Order American TV series. It opened my eyes to various cases that happens in India.

I'd recommend it for the second half. However its not as good as Madhupal's previous films. I'd give it a 2.5/5.
