how the hero mohanlal took revenge the police officers, who are responsible for his son's death is the one line story. the second half is very well than the first half. its one time watch. though its lengthy of 2 3/4 hours, no place is boring in story, screenplay and direction. why the police killed mohanlal's son is beautifully revealed by the director slow and steady, in fact it is a normal story.
