Which Malayalam film did you watch recently ?

[Murali Srinivas]

The King & the Commissioner

The two powerful characters of Malayalam cinema created by the script writer Renji Panicker namely Joseph Alex IAS and Bharath Chandran IPS come together in this latest movie scripted by Renji and directed by Shaji Kailas. It is all sound and fury as the story is about the murder of the RAW chief and the intrusion of Pakistan Militants to assassinate the PM. How the IAS and IPS officer join together to defeat the nefarious activities forms the crux.

Though story wise it is nothing extraordinary and been told in the routine manner, it is the dialogues and the performances of the two, Mammootty as Joseph Alex and Suresh Gopi as Bharath Chandran which helps us to sustain the interest throughout. The dialogues in flowery English and Malayalam gets the maximum applause though at times it borders on the extreme prompting one to label it as verbal diarrhea.

If you like Shaji-Renji films, this is the one which you can enjoy it the core.
