Chenkol; the sceptre tells the story of SethuMadhawan after his release from prison. The movie is a sequel to classic Kireedam. Circumstances gets bad to worst for Sethu. He struggles to live a normal life after prison and finds new enemies. The genius of Lohi Sibi team combined with the magical acting of Mohanlal takes you to a world full of despair and makes you wonder about the impact society and circumstances can have on an individual. Lohithadas weaves story from his heart with a pinch of humanity. Mohanlal lives the role of poor Sethu. I remember an interview in which Sibi Malayail mentioned that Mohanlal's acting in Chenkol is better than Kireedam. You can't disagree as he carries the movie and makes audience sympathize with SethuMadhawan. The movie proves yet again that every cell in Mohanlal's body can act. The supporting cast does a sincere job. Johny and Kochin Haneefa are surprise packages in this movie. Must watch for Malayalam movie fans !!!
