| 12 | Suresh Gopi’s performance, embodying the |
| 13 | fascist machismo of the honest and committed |
| 14 | police officer, made him a Malayalam superstar. |
| 15 | He plays the no-nonsense, seething, foulmouthed |
| 16 | IPS Bharatchandran, quite prepared |
| 17 | to bend rules ‘to get things done’. Both story |
| 18 | and dialogue often powerfully invoke the |
| 19 | widespread sense in Kerala that politics and |
| 20 | society are so corrupt that only some ruthlessly |
| 21 | authoritarian action can remedy the situation. |
| 22 | The spectacular film’s music enhances the |
| 23 | authoritarian rhetoric while invoking J.-C. Van |
| 24 | Damme-type heroics. It did well in a Telugu |
| 25 | dubbed version entitled Police Commissioner. |
