Operation Alamelamma

This is a comedy-crime-mystery movie which is quite fun to watch. The lead, Rishi, carries the movie on his shoulders and it is refreshing to watch his antics. I am pretty impressed by him in the two movies i have watched, the other being Kavaludaari, where his role is an utter contrast. He is well supported by the other actors. The comic line is tightly woven into the script and does not jar the narration. The movie unfolds with present day police investigation into a kidnapping while the hero's story unravels in the flashbacks. The director has woven them together nicely in the end.

The movie does have its faults though. Don't go in expecting an investigative crime thriller. The investigation process is very inept and there are gaping holes.

Go to watch a clean, fun entertainer and you will not be disappointed. As a mainstream movie, this is a refreshing watch. Highly recommended for a Sunday screening with family!
