Review by tanujpoddar

This is not the usual larger than life bollywood movie. It is about a person colonel (Naseeruddin Shah) who owns a large land near a village in Kerala and grows a potent variety of Marijuana called blueberry shrunk. It takes about a year to grow them. As the crops are close to harvest, few people come to know about and want to steal it. The movie shows how this person ensures secrecy about what he does and single handedly protects his plantation spread across 30 acres. Will he succeed or not, you will have to see.

The most impressive thing about the movie is its narrative. It is not linear and the viewer gets the required information from the conversations between the characters. The movie pretty much revolves around Colonel, with him being in almost all the frames. And man, does he do good job at keeping your attention, with his subtle mannerisms. His acting is as natural as it can be. The supporting characters have small bits roles revolving around him, with Aahana Kumra's character getting the longest screen space as she helps develop colonel's character for the viewers.

Its sad that the movie's release got delayed and amongst all the confusion the film didn't do well commercially or critically. If it had, I would have wished for a prequel showing the back story the character Colonel played by Naseeruddin Shah.
