Script
–
Nishad
Koya
Nishad
Koya
has
followed
the
same
pattern
as
that
of
his
film
Ordinary.
Thoppil
Joppan
doesn't
have
a
big
or
different
story
to
narrate,
but
the
sequences
are
good
enough
with
some
light
comedies
laced
throughout
in
the
script.
Music
Director
–
Vidyasagar
The
film
has
the
songs
set
to
tune
by
Vidyasagar.
Songs
of
the
film
have
already
entered
the
list
of
chartbusters.
The
title
song
of
the
film
has
garnered
the
attention
of
the
audiences.
The
song
Onbathilage..,
with
its
beats
and
lyrics,
lightens
up
the
movie.
Other
Technical
Aspects
Cinematography
of
the
film
has
been
handled
by
youngster
Sunoj
Velayudhan.
He
has
done
a
decent
job
and

set
some
good

the
beauty
of

Ranjan
Abraham.

there
are
some
lagging

have
been
chopped
off.
Overall
View
As
mentioned,
Thoppil
Joppan
doesn't
have
a
strong
story
to
narrate.
But,
the
writer
and
the
director
have
tried
their
best
to
make
a
neat
entertainer
from
the
available
prospects.
The
love
track
in
the
film
works
pretty
well
and
you
won't
get
bored
at
any
point
of
time.
Fans
of
Mammootty
would
be
expecting
some
mass
scenes
and
there
are
two
or
three
sequences,
which
has
a
mass
background.
Apart
from
that,
the
film
is
an
entertainer
with
a
realistic
touch
and
won't
question
the
logic
of
the
viewers.
Verdict
A
simple,
neat
and
clean
entertainer
with
Mammootty
in
full
form.
The
film
doesn't
have
any
big
surprises
but
it
will
keep
you
entertained
throughout.
