'Pakida' - The Game is Serious


Although 'Pakida' has just a little bit of flaws, it offers a neat entertainment and feels as a good game. It is released 14 February 2014 and garnered mixed opinions. Sunil Karyattukara directed this movie which has featuring the lead roles by Asif Ali, Biju Menon, Aju Varghese, Vishnu Raghav, Malavika etc.

Story
Aadhi (Asif Ali), a youngster who gives more importance to his friendship than his family. One Christmas eves day, Aadhi and his friends celebrating with alcohol and cigarettes on the top of an uncompleted building. Rafeeq, a friend who falls from the top and sustained serious injuries. They take him to the Hospital and want a huge some of money to save his life. Aadhi decides to sell his dad's pet car from his workshop to George Koshy Anthroper for Rs.2 lakhs. George agrees to buy the car according to certain conditions; Aadhi should accompany him up to Madurai and obey his major plans. what is the plans of George and why he picks Aadhi to the Journey....?   

Movie outlook
  • It has good storyline and keeps the required paces in first and Second half.
  • Some minuses:- Climax is in our predictions. So it makes an ordinary feel. What a ridiculous Slow BG scores for a fast-paced thriller !

Acting 
  • Asif Ali is neatly handled the role 'Aadhi' while he keeps his usual performance.
  • For the Key role 'George Koshy Anthroper', Biju menon made it as an impressive one.
  • Others are fully justified to their characters.

Technicalities 
  • The film is second venture of the director Sunil Karyattukara. He improved more and changed his style from the first movie 'Chacko Randaman' which was a flop.
  • Sameer Haq captured the good & apt visuals. (The dark shades of Madurai city, the night scenes etc. are best). 
  • 'Editing' clearly followed the script.
  • Bijipal's BG scores and songs creates a tedious mood. 

Grade:   A Neat Thriller  
Rating:  3 / 5
