Pushing the boundaries!!!
Summary:
Overall it's a solid movie, with some great performances and an incredible twist which 99% of Malayalam Movie fans will not see coming.
Absolutely give credit to Roshan Andrews and the creators of Mumbai Police for pushing the envelope, although I am not completely convinced it was needed. It's certainly ONE of the routes they could have taken to close out the film, but there may have been a 100 other ways it could have been done that would have done justice. That being said, this was the vision of the creators and I certainly respect that.
The story unfolds in a very clever manor. Essentially the entire movie is about figuring out what happened in a 45 minute span while leaving the answers right in front of our eyes (W/out connecting the dots, of course). Often times Malayalam movies will leave a lot of gaps in a story. The makers of Mumbai Police go through great measures to have a solid story that closes out all gaps (Except for one slight stretch involving a gun).
The combination of Prithviraj, Jayasurya & Rahman is spot on for there roles (though the movie overplays the whole friendship angle a little too much w/out fully developing it). Jaysurya, while not the main character, makes a solid impact to the film.
Prithviraj absolutely knocks his role out of the park with a great performance. I am not sure if any other Major Actor in Malayalam would have taken on this role and delivered. Props to you.
Overall, you should definitely check out Mumbai Police.
