Finally Malayalam Cinema breathes easy. After a series of flops, Jayaraj's "4 The People" and "Sethuramaiyer CBI" has brought the masses back to the cinema halls. Jayaraj's 4 The People aimed at the youth with all new star cast and music by Jassie Gift is making waves in the state. Though the storyline is wafer-thin, the narration is fast paced and the film is technically brilliant.


"4 The People" tells the story of four friends, who stand against the corruption and injustice in the society. Arun, Bharat, Arjun and Padma Kumar who turn vigilante in their fight against corruption. They open a website and ask the public to mail them about their grievances and problems. They shortlist the person with maximum complaints and track him down and punish him by chopping their hands or fingers. Their target includes a corrupt doctor, a government sales tax officer and a local goonda.


The plus points of the film are R D Rajashekhar's excellent camera work, Antony's editing and of course Jassie Gift's music. The latest music sensation to hit the Kerala shores, Jassie effortlessly combines reggae, rap , and Kaithapuram's lyrics to create some of the best "Adipoli" songs of recent times. The film is produced by Sabu Cherian. All the actors have played their part well including the supporting cast who are all excellent. Jayaraj and Iqbal Kuttipuram's screenplay takes the conventionally engrossing formula vigilante concept and imbibes it with a sense of unpredictability and vitality.
