The film becomes a super hit and
Rajappan becomes famous. When Udayan comes to know about it he is shattered but couldn't
do anything much about it. Rajappan changes his name to Saroj Kumar and gets himself trained in acting and dancing
by Pachalam Bhasi (Jagathy Sreekumar).
Meanwhile Madhumati
(Meena), a lead actress who was groomed by
Udayan walks out of her house
when she can't stand the suffering from her wicked brother and father into the
comforting hands of Udayan who is much older to her. Udayan has to marry her to
settle all the rumours but their relationship doesn't last long and Udayan
becomes totally depressed.
But again Baby Kuttan comes to his
rescue and encourages Udayan to come up with another script which he promises to
produce. But he wants Saroj Kumar to be the hero. Although Udayan disagrees at
first, he doesn't have much choice. The movie starts off but the pompous
Rajappan makes life miserable for Udayan whenever possible and walks out of the
film when it is almost complete. The rest of the story deals with how Udayan
tries to get his life back, one has to watch the film to see whether he
succeeds.
Sreenivasan writes about real life
incidents that happen in the film industry and presents them in a humorous
manner. He makes a dig at everyone, not even leaving the superstars. The
director has handled the script well. But somewhere something is amiss in the
narrative especially in the first half. Music by Deepak Dev gels well with the theme of the film.
Mohanlal as Udayan presents a down to
earth remarkable performance unlike the larger than life characters he plays
these days. But it is Sreenivasan who steals the show as the dimwit obnoxious
superstar Saroj Kumar. Meena is commendable as starlet Madhumati. The rest of
the cast including Mukesh, Jagathy, Salim Kumar, Bhavana gives adequate
support.
Overall the movie would be a super
hit among the general masses.. The final verdict is - a definite entertainer.
