Interesting title, that’s the first thing that you notice about the movie. Has it got anything to do with Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar, one might be tempted to ask. Take a look at the trailer and one is left even more confused. What is Nasser doing with a hack saw, hacking away at Nedumudi Venu’s torso, or what is he doing in a boxing ring surrounded by a bevy of beauties? Questions that cannot be answered easily. One thing is for sure, the movie is definitely not the kind that releases every Friday. It might be a rib tickling comedy, a comedy of errors, or satire on some contemporary social scenario full of black humor, or it could be anything else.
The interesting thing here is the cast. Nasser and Nedumudi Venu need no introduction, but we don’t see them playing funny parts very often. Nasser has been stereotyped in recent times with an air of seriousness while Nedumudi Venu moves routinely in and out of Iyer or Iyengar roles in select films. But here, they get a chance to explore their more lighter sides. Then there are Haneefa and Delhi Ganesh who can bring the house down, given the right chance. Then, the most interesting part, the bald man of TV, Bosskey. We have seen him at his nonchalant sarcastic best in talk shows, what can he deliver on the big screen? We are not forgetting that Karthik Kumar plays the lead here.
The intriguing thing here is that Priyadarshan has produced the movie. He is generally known to direct rib ticklers and produce down to earth films. This script should have had something special to get him to produce it. Another interesting aspect is the director. He debuted with Kreedom and who thought that after all the critical acclaim and moderate box office success, he would have chosen a relatively low profile production. In his hands, one believes the film would have shaped up well.
The music by playback singer M.G.Shreekumar doesn’t seem to have made much of an impact and this might detract a bit from the movie. The trailers too gives the movie an up market ‘niche’ which could work both ways, but the makers know what best to do with the movie.
