Baba Kalyani (2006)
rating 4.8/10

The film is about police officer Baba Kalyani sabotaging a jihadi attack on shrine of Palani. The misguided youth who wanted to revenge the Babri Masjid demolition, collaberate with Paki terrorists and plan to set ablaze the shrine and to kill lakhs of pilgrims, but just before dawn of d-day, Baba Kalyani traces and kills them. It didnt happen in real life, when groups like Indian Mujahideen kills thousands of indians in similar fashion

It's a fair film. A good example of how Mohanlal can turn around an ordinary film. I liked all the characters. The screen prescense of Mohanlal is powerful and dialogue delivery has some conviction. But felt like sleeping for 1 hr, until Kavayoor Ponnamma entered and there was some story development. All the important dialogues are emphasized with English words, its more of a film in english language than Malayalam.
