Until a few years ago, one actually had to struggle to take a defect, personal or professional among police officers in Malayalam cinema. Right now, it would be difficult to find the on-screen police officer without some goods from the past, which focuses almost as an investigation as the officer is chasing the officer. The picture is no different in Jethu Ashraf’s first film Duty officerBut for a change, the disturbed history of the Circle Inspector Harishankar (Kunchako Booban) does not seem forced, but there is something that gellesly gels with the rest of the plot.
The man comes out as a border replicator in his introduction scene, barks on his subordinates and violently attacks women’s suspects, so that we are more intimate than the officer’s behavior and about fake gold chains Are eager about their past compared to a minor offense. He is later. The screenplay works his magic in harassing our initial perceptions, both heroes and the case that he is following.
Penning is still another police story, later Yusuf And Nayattu Also the beginning of his direction Ella Visa PoonchiraScreen writer Shahi Kabir again plays his insight as a former police officer. However, when it comes to how criminals think, their understanding appears to be a limited dimensions with the drug pedal gang of the forever villain in the film, which are being painted in the same shade without any nuances.
Like it was evident in the commendable otherwise YusufShahi hits Kabir’s writing under the mark when it comes to pinning a motive for crime. While there is a very clear purpose here, Kabir brings a more fierce incident to involve a police officer in another fierce incident, which in a partly partially justifies the acts of criminal gangs. But, to see it in another way, the small twist in the story added some weight in the play, indicating the feelings running the drug pedallar gang.
Violence has been used by women as one of the major drivers of the conspiracy to provide some catatic release to the distressed hero. Duty officerBut various varieties of events associated with intelligent way highlight the papers on it in any way. Stress is quite dialing in the first half, when the script intensifies to the other to another, reveal the connection between each and hardly leaves us to breathe.
This cannot be said about the last hour of the film when the cards are on the table and the plot is almost at a stagnation. At these points, the film is mostly on its well -choreographed action sequences and the strength of the cat and mouse game. Kunchakaco Boban gets a role with great scope to perform his emotional range, which he does quite well, but Priyamani only gets limited scope to perform.
with Duty officerShahi Kabir has so far combined the story of another entertaining police that works at some points.
