Unnam,
directed
by
Sibi
Malayil
is
yet
another
remake
and
fails
miserably
to
woo
the
audience.
Being
a
remake
of
the
2007
Bollywood
blockbuster,
Johnny
Gaddaar,
Unnam
lets
you
down
completely.
Unnam
lacks
crisp
editing,
easy
flowing
narrative
or
stylish
and
compelling
performances.
Though
the
plot
of
Unnam
is
the
same
as
Johnny
Gaddaar,
the
filmmakers
have
messed
up
with
the
screenplay
and
dialogues.
Story
Unnam
revolves
five
men
-
Sunny
(Lal),
Aloshy
(Asif
Ali),
Tomi
(Prasanth
Narayan),
Murukan
(Nedumudi
Venu)
and
Basheer
(Noushi).
The
group
of
five
coupled
with
a
corrupt
cop
named
Balakrishna
(Sreenivasan)
plan
a
deal.
However,
the
deal
doesn't
work
out.
Sunny,
who
was
linked
to
the
underworld
in
the
past
spends
the
rest
of
his
days
with
the
pleasant
memories
of
his
late
wife.
Aloshy
is
like
his
own
son.
Tomi
has
a
flourishing
hotel
business
and
is
rich.
Tomi
is
unaware
that
his
wife
Jenni
(Rima
Kallingal)
and
Aloshy
were
in
love
with
each
other
in
the
past.
Swetha
Menon
plays
Sareena,
who
has
a
son
from
her
earlier
marriage
and
lives
with
Murugan,
a
gambler.
Performances
Lal,
as
usual
has
given
a
tremendous
performance.
All
other
actors
have
given
a
very
average
performance.
After
Asuravithu,
Asif
Ali
has
proved
once
again
that
he
requires
much
more
training
to
be
a
hero.
Nedumudi
Venu,
Sreenivasan
and
Swetha
Menon
look
out
of
place.
Rima
Kallingal
has
nothing
much
to
do.
Overall,
watch
Unnam
only
if
you
like
Lal.
Otherwise,
it
would
be
advisable
to
watch
the
original
-
Johnny
Gaddaar.
