Balram vs Taradas
It is history in the making. This film is a sequel --- to not one film, but two ones.
This film takes off from where Inspector Balram and Aathirathram left. This is about Inspector Balram as well as about the small-time smart criminal Taradas.
But in the new movie, Inspector Balram has become a DSP while Taradas has graduated into the big league of crime and international mafia.
The story has been woven with contemporary events and happenings. Balram comes across a huge a cache of arms and ammunitions. Investigations point a finger at don Taradas. His lover Supriya (an actress ---shades of Abu Salem and Monica Bedi) is arrested. So comes Taradas from Dubai to take on the Kerala police. The fight is between evil and good.
It is double whammy for Mammooty fans as he is both Balram and Taradas. The roles have been tailor-made for him and he revels in them. Katrina Kaif, the waif-like supermodel cum Bollywood beauty, makes her first appearance in a Mallu film. She plays the role of glamorous Supriya.
I V Sasi, the veteran, is coming together with Mammooty after a gap of 14 years. The duo had previously worked in films like Aksharangal, Aathirathram, Aalkoottathil Thaniye, Anubandham, Vaartha, Mrugaya, and Inspector Balram.
T. Damodaran and S N Swamy have handled the story, script and dialogues while Sajeev Shankar has the camera.
Jazzy Gift's rhythms are a major attraction of the film. The film is slated for release in late January or early February.
