This film focuses on aimless unemployed youths and along with them, the plot too embraces the same trait. The major problem of "Viswa Vikhyaatharaaya Payyanmaar" is it consistently creates lukewarm premises in a mundane plot. Two youngsters reach Kochi from Peerumedu in search of their friend Sam (Bhagath Manuel), who is a fraud.


Showcasing the background of the lead characters, Gopi Krishnan (Deepak Parambol) and Lal (Aju Varghese), director Rajesh Kannankara makes an effort to establish a reason to implant the characters in the urban milieu.


Their bus journey and subsequent meeting of the female lead Tharushi (Leema Babu) are narrated with the support of daffy humour that leaves the viewers in a fix. Rajesh has a ploddingly written screenplay in the premise of Kochi and the treatment flounders from the outset as the package fails to influence due to its artificial characteristics.


In his brief appearance, the character of Manoj. K. Jayan creates mystery now and then but such an artiste like him is not well maintained in the story. Hareesh Kanaran as Shibu carries on his dimwit expressions and it gives the impression that his character is an extension from his other films.


While the action progresses, clunky dialogues and forcefully-added romance aggravate the burden of viewing this amateur creation. It ensures that the hope for an improvement at any stage is a fake hunch. Sadly, there is no attempt to elevate a familiar structure, either in comedy sequences or in the events. A poorly constructed plot topples the movie without providing any riveting moments of laughter. In their repetitive roles, Deepak and Aju are unimpressive and they perform with abated zest, largely guided by an inane tale.           


 


The ineffective story of jobless youths is devoid of any harsh reality that vindicates their struggle. The film relies on pointless comedy, rather than a meaningful plot, to achieve its purpose. There are enough flaws and a slipshod effort from the filmmaker is very much apparent. It's an absurd tale of youngsters coupled with wayward narration that makes the film a passable affair.
