There are a number of such movies, together with the influential Indian Rupee and Jacobinte Swargrajyam, that take care of the monetary troubles of the protagonist. Meppadian, written and directed by debutant Vishnu Mohan with Unni Mukundan within the lead, belongs to the identical style the place the central character is caught in a collection of issues following an sudden monetary bother.
Unni Mukundan performs Jayakrishnan, who runs an car workshop and at all times walks straight and slender. A light-mannered man, he takes care of his previous mom and is well-liked within the village. To set up his decency, Jayakrishnan is proven consuming solely milk, even refusing tea. His opposition is Varaki, performed by Saiju Kurup, an alcoholic who has mismanaged his life and cash.
Jayakrishnan, who’s trying to purchase some land for his sister, is persuaded by Varkey to purchase the land cheaply and promote it at a revenue. Varkey is eyeing the land of an previous man mendacity in mattress, Kiridam fame Kundra Johnny, who urgently wants money for his daughter’s marriage ceremony. Under strain from Varkey, Jayakrishnan agreed to the deal on the situation that an preliminary quantity of Rs 30 lakh can be handed over to the proprietor of the land earlier than his daughter’s marriage. Varkey is already bankrupt and it’s on Jayakrishnan to lift this cash and pay it to the previous man. From then on, it is a race in opposition to time as our hero struggles to get cash on time, even promoting his home within the effort. The movie reveals the bureaucratic pink tape and the struggles confronted by Jayakrishnan to persuade individuals of his place and make a deal.
Introducing a Muslim character, performed by Indran, is proven as a conservative businessman who makes use of Jayakrishnan’s place to buy land. Aju Varghese performs a shrewd native politician who tries to get his share of cash whereas serving to Jayakrishnan.
The climax of the movie can be predictable, which has a mediocre twist the place Jayakrishnan is proven taking his revenge. The climax scene the place Jayakrishnan walks in a black outfit with pulsing background music on his method to Sabarimala seems to be fully absurd.
There was scope for performing within the movie, particularly for the lead character. However, Unni Mukundan fails to do justice to it. The scene by which Jayakrishnan loses his cool on the sub-registrar officer ought to have delivered to the fore the ache of the lead character, however Mukundan’s efficiency stays to floor. The emotional scenes specifically showcase the gaps in his efficiency.
Aju Varghese portrayed the politician’s position with conviction, although the character was not developed effectively. The senses additionally performed their position to the fullest. Anju Kurien, who performs Jayakrishnan’s girlfriend, has little to do within the movie.
