After a long gap of 12 years, Suresh Gopi is back as Bharatchandran IPS in the sequel to his political thriller, 'Commissioner' to packed theatres.. 

The story is set in the Malabar coast where the Malabar League party rules, under the leadership of the self centered Hyder Ali Hassan ( Sai Kumar) who has underworld connections. Ali Hassan wants to establish a smart city in the coastal area near Kozhikode. Fearing opposition from the local communities he instigates clashes between them with the help of a Hindu leader (Balachandran Chullikad) and others.

Mayambaram Baba ( Sri Raman) is another Muslim leader, who takes effort to bring about communal harmony along the coastline. The string of clashes among the communities calls for a probe from the government. A commission was set up and in spite of the warning from the Police IG, Mayambaram Baba comes to testify in a special court and gets murdered in the court yard by a hired assassin Kala purohit (Ajay Ratnam) from the Gulf. Our hero Bharatchandran (Suresh Gopi) comes on scene, when the Police IG Habeer Basheer (Lalu Alex) assigns him to solve the case. Find out how he and his team including Ali (Madhu Warrier), Pookoi (Rajan P.Dev) and Hema (Shreya Reddy) books the culprit...

The film directed by Renji Panikkar is not comparable to the original but it has its moments. The narration is a bit dragging till Suresh Gopi arrives. Then the pace picks up and the whole film gets over within 2 hours. There are no songs in the film but the remixed background score from the original Commissioner makes up for it. Technically the film is no big shakes - cinematography is strictly ok and action so.. so, as compared the present day films. Dialogues are explosive as could be expected of Renji's films in this genre.

Performance wise Suresh Gopi takes the cake with his screen presence, action and strong dialogue delivery. This talented actor  proves yet again that he could deliver action roles with relish. Saikumar as the villain, is excellent. Rajan P Dev as the hero's accomplice and Vijayaraghavan as the Chief Minister, all have done their roles well. Madhu Warrier, Manju Warrier's brother as Suresh Gopi's right hand man and debutant Shreya Reddy, SS music VJ has incidentally nothing much to do.

Overall its an okay film for those who like this genre and a must see for Suresh Gopi fans.
