The film Pazhassi Raja has become a big hit in Malayalam cinema. The producer Gookulam Gopalan has made a huge profit out of it, not only in business but in fame also. He is now in a stage to counter his opponent Vellappally Natesan of the SNDP. Vellappay is left with no choice other than to make a similar film to offset Gokulam. The makers of the film claim that their film would help people to revive the memories of unsung heroes like Pazhassi but one could not concur. The film was only an attempt to make money.
Though the film has several technical advantages it is not compatible with Hollywood films. The action sequences were poorly shot and Mammootty’s physique is not susceptible to tedious efforts. It is unwise to compare this film with worldwide applauded Chinese martial art films like Crouching Tiger. And when it comes to the histrionic skills, Mammootty stands far behind Sarath Kumar and even Manoj K Jayan in this film. The half naked adivasi women seen in plenty in the film is a crooked craft to attract more youths to the film. Even Padmapriya has been obliged to exhibit her thigh and when it happens in this film there is a huge disturbance among younger viewers. Padmapriya and Kaniha appearing half naked with ‘mulakkacha’ gave good scope for younger viewers to see the film over and over again.
