UDAYAN IS THE STAR

Udayan, a talented assistant film director, who aspires to direct his own film, is devastated when his crooked friend Rajappan steals the script he had made, and goes on to become superstar Saroj Kumar on its merit. Luck favours Udayan, when he gets a chance to make a film with Saroj in the lead…

It’s tickling to see superstar Mohanlal play a struggling filmmaker in this dark comedy that cleverly questions the industry’s widely prevalent deification of actors. Boasting a sharply written screenplay and a terrific ensemble cast, this pertinent Malayalam drama is a hugely engaging watch.
