New Delhi: Malayalam superstar Mammootty's offering for his fans this Onam, Bhargavacharitham Moonam Khandam is a rip-off of Hollywood flick Analyze This. Directed by Joemon, the film is co-written by Sreenivasan, who has also played a significant role in the film.
This is yet another attempt by Mammootty to succeed in comedy, but it leaves the audiences dissatisfied.
The story revolves around a notorious criminal Current Bhargavan (Mammootty), who has lost the confidence to pick up a gun or resort to any kind of violence.
So, he seeks the help of a renowned psychiatrist Dr Shantharam (Sreenivasan) to get back his lost confidence. This tangled tale sounds interesting at the onset, but its execution leaves audiences' hopes punctured.
One of the reasons behind the movie's failure is the treatment of the film by director Joemon, who does not innovate with the characters.
The ever-sarcastic Sreenivasan lampoons his profession and comes up with classic one-liners like "for a psychiatrist, everybody is mad."
The other characters in the film just make fleeting appearances. Rahman as one of the officers of narcotics department and would be brother-in-law of Sreenivasan makes his presence felt. But Sai Kumar as Rahman's chief and Bhargavan go overboard.
It seems that Sreenivasan tried to repeat the success of Udayananu Tharam but it didn't work. A more realistic plot might have worked better.
So, this Onam will be lacklustre for Mammootty fans.
