"Less 'Hot' But A Sure "Hit"

Essentially a murder mystery, the film has Mohanlal as OMR (a contraction of Oyyarath Madathil Ramanathan or is it that of catchphrase 'Onnum Marakkilla Rama''?), a tough and shrewd NRI business magnet who is well settled with his business firms and enemies, all across the Middle East and Singapore. He also runs an FM station 919.1 - OMR FM, which is based in Kochi. All the nine leading jockeys (RJ's) of the FM station are madly in love with this high flying businessman, whom they have never met in person. On New Year's Eve, OMR promises his jockeys that he would come over to meet them and reveal something to one of them. And the jockeys who are more than happy go around partying, dancing, disobeying traffic rules and creating panic but finds at the receiving end of all horrors, with one gigolo dead in their house. The very next morning also announces a hit and run case, presumably by the same Prado of the jockeys, killing ten workers who were on a round the clock agitation in front of a factory, including their leader Maani Varghese. The girls with a gang rape case and killing of almost a dozen people due to their displeasing manners, flee the spot .But as the police led by Commissioner Vyasan and Mani's IPS's son, Stalin track the car, the business baron OMR is forced to crash land in his home country with his own cheer girls, to save his other staff from a tricky plot that is aimed at him. He takes on the entire system single handedly, sometimes becoming an advocate, often a business tycoon and even the deity of a village.

"Not much color in this flick"

The movie set in a military camp at Coonoor revolves around military doctor Lt.Colonal Dr Rajalekshmy (Sharanya) and her two daughters-Pinky and Pooja. Rajalekshmy has a special consideration for Pooja who is obedient and docile, working as a school teacher. While her younger daughter Pinky (Roma)is a tomboyish ,bubbly girl who roams around playing pranks on the villagers and shooting her popular television programme 'Colours' modeled after the hits 'Bakra and Tharikida'. Though she is adventurous and bold, she shares a very special relation with Pooja (Bhama) and her grandpa Pushkaran Pillai (Innocent).

Pinky locally called as ''Pankan'' has a group of guys always in her disposal including cameraman Rahul who is in love with her. And when Navy officer Lt Commander Sanjaynath arrives to Coonoor, locking horns with Pinky from the very first day, every one finds him as a way to control the mindless maneuvers of Pinky, which gradually leads them into falling in love. But the movie has an array of subplots, the most prominent being the fraudulent act of smuggling costly medicines from hospital store by some of Rajalekshmi’s subordinates , which leads into further tensions in her family. Then there are the plans of elders to marry off Pooja to Sanjay, even when he is in love with Pinky. And the worst of the subplots is that involving the character played by Harishree Ashokan and his father in-law - a lunatic played by Cochin Haneefa, which falls well below buffoonery.
