Angel John

Aada mwone Maradona Paavam anu.

Yes son, Maradona is a good guy. Waste of time , waste of energy.

The only reason this Maradona guy got this role is he is director Bhagyaraj's son. He has no acting skills to speak of and as far as expressions go a mannequin can emote better than this fellow. Poor storyline and direction are the other reasons why this movie flopped back in 2009. I saw Mohanlal and decided to watch this movie telecast and regretted terribly. Instead, I should have watched a re-run of a better movie. Ups & down in a plot is what keeps an audience interested, this movie flatlined from the first reel. Mohanlal is amongst Malayalam movie industry's greatest actors, but he has to use his discretion from associating with trainwrecks like this movie. Jagathy and rest of the cast were decent but not the usual standard we come to expect from them.

Maradona is a happy-go-lucky 22-yearold guy who gives a damn about life , & cares nothing less than to live freely and enjoy every moment of his life . He lives with his parents who are worried what their son is going to make of himself, who hangs around in pubs late into the night,hangs around in wrong company and watches porn all day locked up in his bedroom! Life goes on for Maradona until one day he goofs up, badly enough that now the police are searching for him & he gets the exit card from his parents house & decides to take his life .....

This is where enters "Angel John"-played by Mohanlal, who gives him a "varadanam"... a gift..of 2 choices that he can choose to make with his life . He choose one among the two angel John lays out before him & the rest of the film is based upon that choice, its aftereffects, etc.

Overall i find the film very interesting, though in some ,you may cringe in between your seats..Maradona hitting on the married woman & she hitting bach, the low waist underwears, Maradona locked up watching porn, all can create some level of uneasiness for conservative audiences , but on the whole it is a fun, brainless entertainer.

Everybody roasted this movie so badly...but I really liked this movie .
