In this movie, like in Myshkin’s previous movie — Chittiram Pesuthadi — Narain is a revelation. In this movie he changes from a street rowdy to an angry police officer, thus transitioning from the anamala of machoism to Mount Everest. In between he handles romance and comedy as well.

We think he is the best person to take over the mantle from Suresh Gopi as the angry-about-everything-man. Malayalam cinema always needs an angry young man and most of our actors have graduated through that path. Young Prithviraj had three such movies with Padmakumar and now a days he is busy doing comedy. Dileep tried being an angry young man in various movies, but they turned out to be comedies.

Producers know Narain’s talent, but they are sceptical about his saleability in Malayalam. Thus they cast him in miniscule roles in Classmates and Ore Kadal, and when they make him the hero it turns out to be a low level movie like Panthayakozhi.

We hope our producers watch Myshkin’s two movies one after the other and create a real angry young man image for Narain. The best thing: you only have to pay him the same amount it costs to make Suresh Gopi look young.
