Sathyanathan is about one who always tells the truth, but due to his flaws in character he is crucified. His major flaw is loose tongue and being over smart. His leaked audio tapes are supposed to be a result of his loose tongue rather than his actual involvement. He is such a sweet guy who would never do it because he is Sathyanathan. Pan-Indian obsession is also present in the film in a form that could be thought out in Sathyapurshotaman's regular films. Major Ravi would have been better for the NIA Officer's role and for creating credibility of association that the film sought. Sathyapurshothman seems like he has gone through a lower eyelid lift to slide back as a lovely image in the heart's of mass followers. Apart from the subliminal messaging, it's an okay story with an ample opportunity to feast on the actor's yesteryear antics and talents, and without any cheap double entendres. Is it film ? No, it is a project made for a particular purpose and to bag cash if their is interest among people to enjoy antics of a 50 year old man. Last-time, a version of it was in Bro Daddy. The image's in the opening credits seemed like the film was meant for someone else and then it was repurposed, it seemed like a whitened out Manoj K. Jayan. Film was made into a perfect brand carrier, heavy subliminal messaging from the beginning to end, planned success celebrations started even before the film was properly launched and staged interview moments alongside with fans from all ages was a good show. It feels like Sathyapurshothman has successfully tested the waters. This is legendary power-play, something political parties should learn on how to mold a positive narrative for Keralites even after conducting and behaving badly as a human being. A pleasant thing witnessed in the film was involving some semi-forgotten actors and actresses back onto the big screen.
