Or Bobby-Sanjay deliberately sabotaged their script to accommodate hero-worshipping? It is hard to say.įor one, there are long build-ups to obvious outcomes and at times it gets preachy. The picturization of director Santhosh Viswanath, however, doesn’t do justice to the keen observations of Bobby-Sanjay. In other words, the separation of church and state. It also highlights the need for a leader to cut the umbilical cord with his political party once he takes the oath of a public office. It also emphasises on the fact that every political party has a few honest members who want to bring about a change in the country. The filmmakers also want us to see the state’s obsession with hartal, and how disadvantages of frequent strikes outweigh the advantages. In Kerala where communist ideology rules, people can’t stand a son of a proletarian becoming a chief minister.
Mammootty, who appears in the signature white-and-white attire, is impeccable as Kadakkal Chandran and he plays the character with grace and easeĪnd Bobby and Sanjay want us to see the ironies in the state’s politics.

One is built around a power struggle, the main focus of the movie is the Chief Minister – his personal and professional lives. Going by the film, all it takes is a single self-destructive politician to ignite the fuse of progressive reform. The film acknowledges that politics is the last resort of the scoundrels but at the same time, it also refuses to be completely cynical. But, Chandran carries his past and his family legacy as armour, which saves him from fumbling on his own ego.īobby and Sanjay have dealt the story that highlights a lot of political awareness.
It is a bottom up to the top story, so many hardened politicians can’t digest the fact that a barber’s son holds the Chief Minister’s Office in Kerala. The student in question meant that comment as an insult to the Chief Minister for being the son of a barber. He, for instance, doesn’t put a student who asks him to give him a haircut in jail. He is an idealistic man, who knows where he comes from and where he’s going. After dedicating more than 37 years of his life to politics, he is still untouched by the iniquities of his profession.
The story revolves around Kadakkal Chandran, played by Mammootty, belonging to a low caste. It has the political twists and turns, with goodness that is rare to find in politics. Mammootty’s latest film, ONE, has started streaming on Netflix on Tuesday.
