Mohanlal,
the
complete
actor
is
back
with
an
out-and-out
comedy
entertainer,
Peruchazhi.
The
movie
is
directed
by
Arun
Vaidyanathan
and
produced
by
Vijay
Babu
and
Sandra
Thomas
under
the
banner
Friday
Film
House.
Mohanlal
plays
the
central
character
Jagannathan,
a
politician
with
extra-ordinary
skills
and
Mukesh
plays
his
political
rival,
PWD
minister
Francis
Kunjappan.
Story
Jagannathan
(Mohanlal)
is
a
genius
politician
and
an
exceptional
talent
when
it
comes
to
solving
problems.
PWD
minister
Francis
Kunjappan
(Mukesh)
suggests
Jagannathan’s
name
to
Sunny
Kurishingal
(Vijay
Babu),
who
is
looking
for
a
clever
person
to
guide
the
election
campaigns
of
a
poor
candidate
in
California
Governor
elections.
Francis
thinks
that
sending
Jagannathan
to
America
will
help
him
to
develop
his
own
political
career.
Jagannathan,
who
is
well
aware
of
Francis’s
intentions,
goes
to
America
with
his
friends
cum
aides,
Jabbar
Pottakuzhy
(Baburaj)
and
Varkey
(Aju
Varghese).
But
he
soon
realises
that
the
mission
is
not
easy
and
faces
difficulties
because
of
his
limitations
in
English
language.
Thus
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
Cast
and
Performance
Mohanlal
delivers
an
energy
packed
performance
with
his
exceptional
comic
timings
and
dialogue
delivering
skills.
The
actor
once
again
proves
his
capability
to
perform
any
character
without
any
flaws.
Mukesh
shines
as
the
cunning
politician
and
the
role
is
absolutely
a
cakewalk
for
the
actor.
Vijay
Babu
deserves
a
special
applause
for
his
matured
acting
skills.
Baburaj,
Aju
Varghese
and
Ramesh
Pisharody
are
fine
in
their
roles;
but
the
over
dosage
of
adult
jokes
makes
their
act
look
weird
after
a
point.
Ragini
Nandwani,
makes
a
decent
debut
as
Jessy
;
but
her
chemistry
with
Mohanlal
in
the
romantic
scenes
looks
odd
at
places.
The
rest
of
the
cast
did
justice
to
their
roles.
Script
and
Direction
Peruchazhi,
is
engaging
at
some
places,
shows
some
real
flaws
also.
Arun
Vaidyanathan
succeeds
in
bringing
out
the
real
comic
elements
from
the
actors;
but
fails
in
molding
a
real
political
satire
on
screen.
As
a
result,
the
movie
looks
artificial
at
places.
Technical
Aspects
Arvind
Krishna’s
cinematography
is
outstanding.
Vivek
Harshan’s
editing
makes
the
movie
slim
without
any
irrelevant
contents.
Music
and
Background
score
Arrora’s
songs
are
disappointing.
But
the
background
score
is
good
and
completely
sinks
with
mood
of
the
movie.
Verdict
A
clean
comedy
entertainer.
