Bhaskar
The
Rascal
is
a
family
entertainer
which
stars
Mammootty
in
the
lead
role.
The
movie
directed
by
Siddique
stars
Nayantara
in
the
female
lead.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal
is
produced
by
Anto
Joseph
under
the
banner
Anto
Joseph
Film
Company.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal
Plot
Bhaskar
(Mammootty)
is
a
widower
who
lives
with
his
only
son
Aadhi
(Sanoop)
and
father.
He
is
a
ruthless
businessman
who
runs
a
banking
business.
His
father
Shankaranarayanan
(Janardhanan)
was
a
popular
businessman
once;
but
fails
to
make
it
big,
thus
losing
all
his
wealth.
Bhaskar
was
the
only
pillar
of
strength
for
his
father
during
the
crisis
periods.
He
was
secretly
called
as
Rascal
by
te
people,
due
to
his
rough
and
tough
nature
and
tendency
to
react
instantly
if
anyone
opposes
him.
His
father,
son
and
close
associated
pressurizes
him
to
remarry.
Once,
during
a
trip,
Bhaskar
and
Aadhi
come
across
Hima
(Nayantara)
and
her
daughter
(Anikha),
who
are
very
close
to
Aadhi.
Aadhi
and
Hima's
daughter
tries
to
unite
their
parents
and
this
forms
the
crux
of
the
story.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal
Cast
Mammootty
perfectly
plays
Bhaskar,
a
ruthless
businessman,
a
loving
son
and
a
extremely
caring
father.
Nayantara
makes
a
fantastic
comeback
into
Malayalam
as
Hima,
an
independent
lady
who
single-handedly
raises
her
daughter.
Master
Sanoop
and
Baby
Anikha
steals
the
show
with
perfect
portrayal
of
Bhaskar’s
son
Aadhi
and
Hima’s
daughte.
JD
Chakravarthy
excels
as
the
soft-spoken
antagonist.
Janardhanan,
Harisree
Ashokan,
Kalabhavan
Shajohn,
Saju
Navodaya
and
Devi
Ajith,
who
essayed
the
supporting
roles
completely
fit
into
their
respective
roles.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal
Script
And
Direction
The
movie
is
penned
and
directed
by
hit
maker
Siddique,
has
nothing
new
to
offer.
But
the
director
succeeds
in
making
a
perfect
family
entertainer
out
of
a
cliched
story
line.
The
movie
is
rich
with
comical
situations
in
first
half;
but
shows
some
flaws
in
the
second
half.
The
climax
ofhav
the
movie
couldn't
match
the
exuberance
of
first
half
and
ended
up
as
an
average
one.
Technical
Aspects
Vijay
Ulaganath's
cinematography
makes
the
movie
look
colorful
and
creates
a
perfect
ambiance
for
a
complete
family
entertainer.
KR
Gowri
Shankar's
editing
is
fine
in
first
half;
but
fails
to
keep
the
track
in
the
second
half.
Bhaskar
The
Rascal
Songs
And
Background
Score
Deepak
Dev
scores
with
rhythmic
the
songs
and
perfect
background
score,
which
completely
sinks
in
with
the
mood
of
the
movie.
Verdict
A
perfect
family
entertainer
for
the
festival
season.
Watch
it
without
much
expectations.
