Mohanlal's most glorified character, one of the most celebrated films in Malayalam, considered a classic and relives in peoples mind through countless imitations and pop culture references. Through all this, sure it is enjoyable with memorable one liners, great songs and stylish visuals that can only be seen in Malayalam films. But all that doesn't change the fact that it is a completely ridiculous film with a ludicrous plot and laughably on your face cheesy dialogues. How it works is how unabashedly it is a fanfare for actor Mohanlal. It is a complete ode to him with characters always praising him while he does all the impossible tasks. Another problem that I find in most old Malayalam films is the idiotic use of background music. Though I did enjoy parts of it most of it is so cringe but the iconic scenes that are always being referenced are good to watch out of context.The success of this film churned out a lot of similar films which started the dark period in Malayalam cinema where everything faltered and the industry was losing all the hope and newcomers changed the industry for good, thinking these as classics is not going to help the industry if it doesn't harm any more.
