He dances, he sings, he does everything that a ‘normal’ man can. And eventually as you watch, his 'abnormality' becomes normal for the viewers. Bipin George wins over the audience in Shafi’s
Oru Pazhaya Bomb Kadha
, which is a feel good movie with all the elements a commercial film should have. There is romance, comedy, songs, dance and also a story.
Sreekuttan (
Bibin George) is a handicap and he has a trusted friend Bhavyan (Hareesh Kanaran) who begins his mornings with one and a half peg. People of Muthamkode village, which is like a typical one like that of Peruvannapuram, call the duo as 'onnarayum onnarayum' (One and a half and one and a half). They are workshop employees. As Sreekuttan works hard to make money for the heart surgery of his dad (Indrans), he meets beautiful Sruthy (
Prayaga Martin) and immediately falls in love with her. There is Josettan (Vijayaraghavan) who runs a finance company where Sreekuttan has invested the money that he has been saving up for his dad’s surgery and a vicious police officer (Shajon) who is waiting for a chance to let Sreekuttan down due to an ego issue. The movie gathers momentum when Sreekuttan’s dad gets admitted in the hospital and Josettan’s employee betrays him by flicking all the money from the company.
The first half of the film is entertaining with situational comedies, songs, romance and dance. Old songs and bits of popular movies add flavour to the film.
How Shafi makes the tale more interesting with a handicapped hero is yet to be revealed.
