Interesting title, that’s the first thing that you notice
about the movie. Has it got anything to do with Jim Carrey’s
Liar Liar, one might be tempted to ask. Take a look at the
trailer and one is left even more confused. What is Nasser
doing with a hack saw, hacking away at Nedumudi Venu’s
torso, or what is he doing in a boxing ring surrounded by
a bevy of beauties? Questions that cannot be answered easily.
One thing is for sure, the movie is definitely not the kind
that releases every Friday. It might be a rib tickling comedy,
a comedy of errors, or satire on some contemporary social
scenario full of black humor, or it could be anything else.

The
interesting thing here is the cast. Nasser and Nedumudi
Venu need no introduction, but we don’t see them
playing funny parts very often. Nasser has been stereotyped
in recent times with an air of seriousness while Nedumudi
Venu moves routinely in and out of Iyer or Iyengar roles
in select films. But here, they get a chance to explore
their more lighter sides. Then there are Haneefa and
Delhi Ganesh who can bring the house down, given the
right chance. Then, the most interesting part, the bald
man of TV, Bosskey. We have seen him at his nonchalant
sarcastic best in talk shows, what can he deliver on
the big screen? We are not forgetting that Karthik Kumar
plays the lead here.
The intriguing thing here is that Priyadarshan has produced
the movie. He is generally known to direct rib ticklers
and produce down to earth films. This script should
have had something special to get him to produce it.
Another interesting aspect is the director. He debuted
with Kreedom and who thought that after all the critical
acclaim and moderate box office success, he would have
chosen a relatively low profile production. In his hands,
one believes the film would have shaped up well. |

The
music by playback singer M.G.Shreekumar doesn’t seem
to have made much of an impact and this might detract a bit
from the movie. The trailers too gives the movie an up market
‘niche’ which could work both ways, but the makers
know what best to do with the movie. |
