First
of
all,
we
have
to
admit
that
we
are
glad
to
see
Mammootty
in
light-hearted
and
masala
roles
again.
It
indeed
was
becoming
tiresome
to
see
their
versatile
actor
in
very
serious
roles
one
after
the
other.
For
all
those
fans
who
share
similar
sentiments,
Maayavi
is
a
treat.
Forget
logic
here
and
just
enjoy
the
new
offering
from
director
Shafi
and
Mammooty.
Mammootty
is
Mahendra,
also
known
as
Mahi.
He
is
a
do-gooder
who
tries
his
best
to
help
the
needy.
When
the
problem
goes
out
of
hand,
or
if
the
perpetrator
of
crime
is
a
notorious
anti-social
element,
he
switches
to
IAS.
IAS
stands
for
Iruttu
Adi
Service,
Mahi's
way
of
dealing
with
negative
elements.
At
night
he
wears
a
superhero
mask
and
punishes
the
culprits.
The
idenity
of
the
hero
remains
a
mystery
to
the
general
public.
Slowly
and
steadily,
the
name
and
fame
of
this
mysterious
superhero
grows.
Once,
when
he
tries
to
help
someone,
he
lands
in
prison
where
he
meets
Balan.
Balan
has
a
sad
story-
he
has
a
younger
sibling
who
has
to
undergo
brain
surgery.
Mahi
decides
to
help
him
out
and
when
he
gets
out
of
prison,
he
takes
the
blame
for
a
murder
which
he
didn't
commit
and
gets
ready
to
return
to
prison.
He
does
so
because
Thottapalli
Surendran
and
his
brother
had
committed
the
murder
to
settle
some
old
rivalry
and
were
willing
to
pay
Mahi
huge
sums
of
money
for
taking
the
blame.
Amidst
all
this,
he
runs
into
Indhu,
who
is
looking
for
someone
to
help
her
people
out
of
some
big
trouble.
He
decides
to
help
her
too.
This
leads
to
a
big
climax...
The
best
thing
about
the
film
is-
it
is
as
entertaining
as
Rajamanikkam
and
Thommanum
Makkalum.
Forget
the
logic
part
of
the
story
and
the
fact
that
so
many
characters
simply
walk
in
and
walk
out.
Shafi
and
Mammooty's
previous
film
together
was
Thommanum
Makkalum.
This
one
is
a
pretty
good
follow-up
to
that
film.
The
script
is
by
Rafi
and
Mecartin.
In
spite
of
the
number
of
characters,
the
two
have
maintained
clarity
in
the
narration.
Plus
Points
Mammooty,
his
performance
and
dialogue
delivery
Shafi,
Rafi
and
Mecartin
Gopika
these
days
is
looking
quite
like
Mammooty's
heroine.
Minus
Points
Too
many
characters
The
pace
of
the
film's
second
half
drags
sometimes
It
is
certainly
worth
a
watch!
Cast
:
Mammootty,
