What an achievement this for Indian film industry. Yet again it comes from one of the most trusted (Infact most trusted for me currently) film industry in India which is Malayalam. They made one of the greatest superhero origin story (Best superhero film in India after Bhavesh Joshi) that has got that authenticity, true to life in terms of narrative yet that goofy-ness and sheer audacity in the execution part is intact. The screenplay is solid. There’s an absolute depth in every character in this including the villain who is seriously the best villain in an Indian superhero film so far according to me. At times the script made me feel for even villain but slowly it takes a turn that justifies the craziness that villain carries throughout. Same is for the hero. This balancing act between the two characters makes it so real even if it’s a superhero film.  In the first scene the play that is played on stage talks about war against principles, Values and beliefs. Principles, Values and beliefs are there in both the hero and villain but it comes down to the motive or actions to attain that values and beliefs, one is obviously bad and other good. Such a brilliant origin story that seriously deserves a sequel. Bring it on.
