Instead of a hard-hitting movie on child rape and the insensitivity shown by the society and media, what we get is ego clashes, grand standing and the need to be a “man”. At least that is what the viewers are led to believe when intermission rolls around.Įverything. With both the father and the (good-looking, six-pack abbed!) law officer breathing vengeance, it is probably a matter of time before justice is served. Enter Arya, Tamil Super-Hero, who is in charge of the special squad that has been set up to prevent child pornography and abuse. After the child comes back home, the viewers are all ready to move on to the next stage – justice.Īnd it gets better. His first impulse is to call the cops, but then the need to protect his daughter from further “rape” by the insensitive media and society, forces him to keep quiet. Perfect premise, perfect beginning and the perfect story line in today’s world.Īfter the rape, Mammootty’s acting is stunning. A father who promises to find justice for his daughter.
A father who suffers incredibly when he finds her raped and left for dead in the elevator of their apartment. Is this review about “The Great Father” or what?Īnd then there is “The Great Father”. How many of you remember this amazing actor in “Nirakkoottu”, a Malayalam movie starring Mammootty, released in 1985? As the avenging angel who escapes from jail to kill the person responsible for his wife’s death? How many of you remember also the amazing acting displayed by Mammootty in his role as a convict? In every scene he appears, he takes us on a roller-coaster of emotions, and finally when he kills the villain, we heave a huge sigh of relief and go home happy, and convinced, that justice has been served.
