Summary:

As you can probably tell from the Rating, not exactly the most "unique" of movies, but nevertheless it's worth a watch.  If you look at the cast of the movie, basically it's all on Mammootty.  The movie is worth a watch because of him.  Mammootty's character is along the line of his character from Loud Speaker.  A kind lovable person that wants to do good.  A satharanakaren!!!

Mommootty seems to have perfected taking on different dialects/accents for his movies and this is not different.  

While there are not many other noteworthy performances in the film, the main Villain certainly stands out.  Murali Gopi, who is the son of late Bharath Gopi, was cast perfectly.  He is one BIG dude and will certainly bring fear to anyone that gets caught in front of him.  I know he is not exactly a new comer  but I hope this film opens up some doors for him.  

Another highlight of the film that deserves a mention is the one and only song (I think it was the only one).  "Oorum Perum Parayathe" kinda comes out of nowhere but it's a beautiful song.  Most Malayalis know that, if there is a weakness in Mammootty, it's his dancing capabilities.  The choreographer for Thappana makes this weekness into a strength   It literally get's played at my house like 2 - 3 times a day as my kids love the song.
