One (വൺ) - A MOVIE (2021) REVIEW

 One (വൺ)



Political ‘drama' released on 26 March 2021.

Mammootty is the hero. 

Movie is about an honest  chief minister, who opposes corruption at all levels - inside and outside his party. 

An incident of an unreasonable behaviour of a guy who orders home delivery of food , where the person has to climb 12 stairs and gets a heart attack!

An ordinary young daughter taking on the bully who caused the heart attack!

Women parking vehicles in malls ( Kerala is always ahead in culture)!

VVIP culture and second rate treatment melted out to ordinary citizens by democratically elected leaders is portrayed lucidly as only a Malayalam movie can! 

A kind chief minister with his own personal problems ( health and family) comes to the rescue of ordinary citizens!

An auto ride by the chief minister of the state during a traffic jam!

I am reminded of the quote from another movie ‘WONDER’ -  'Greatness is not about how strong you are ..... but about the use of strength to protect the weak, value of your principles and the valour to protect those close to your heart’!


On the night of announcement of election results in 5 Indian states, it was worth watching last night. 

Movie may be classified as a ‘fiction' till it comes true,  when it can be labeled a ‘drama'.
