Mildly entertaining fare that overstays its welcome
We have seen ego-induced rivalries done better in recent Malayalam cinema, most notably Ayyappanum Koshiyum and Driving Licence. So when OTTC explores the same themes in a lacklustre fashion, one naturally tends to get disappointed. It's a 150-min movie that feels like a 210-min movie at times. Trimming off about 15-20 minutes would've ensured a relatively smoother experience. There are quite a few hilarious moments that made me laugh out loud, but such moments are in short supply in a film that overstays its welcome after a point. It's a pity.(more)
