Ayyappan Nair, a senior police officer and Koshy Kurian, a retired havildar, lock horns in a situation made to go ugly. The film is almost literally 3 hours of dog fight between Ayyappan and Koshy, leading to a abrupt, divisive climax.
Ayyappanum Koshiyum is a tough nut to crack. Mainly because the film can become a commercial entertainer to many while still being bound to the unconventional style of plot advancing that has become a 'style' among new and veteran directors. It is by no means a bad film. It's great. But kind of falls apart when you think of what the director wanted to achieve with this movie. And he nearly does.
Prithviraj And Biju Menon were class apart. It was brutal,funny and refreshing to see two big names going in a dirty rag fight in the mud. Kudos to both. Renjith was above par as the gutsy dad of Koshy, coming off as quite corny in the later half performance. All other performances were good. Considering how Sachy used the 'realism meets fantastical scenarios' tool here, it was pretty surprising how good the secondary performances were.
Jakes Bejoy went all out in this film. His soundtrack and songs could've been the best thing the film had, of all the 'best' things. I wouldn't say it was Jake's best though. Ranam was quite beautiful and still stands as his defining work.
Sachy's offbeat mass entertainer will be a game changer for the industry. Truly a saturated industry in terms of 'mass' films, Ayyappanum Koshiyum is more than just refreshing.
