I don't understand why such a good film with appreciable use of humor ends up with such a low rating (4.4)! Well, to me and my family, it was a great visual treat!

Mammootty acts well as a petty thief and the actress has done her part very well. Even the villains have the vindictive charm.

Use of humor is more in the first part; yet the movie's plot is understandable as the second part goes on. But, it has the ability to keep the audience hooked to it.

Even though the plot isn't very strong like Mammookka's other works, it still is better than other releases (which are falsely termed blockbusters) of 2012.

Go and watch it for Mammootty!
