This movie is about Odiyans who were initially used to threaten rivals but later used to assasinate people like the contract killers of present day. Can't blame a lot of people saying negative about it because they and their ancestors would have never experienced such a fear.
I belong to Palakkad Kerala and this is a story of my region and I know what they have concealed and what they've shown on the screen.
Each and every character in this movie was amazing. Mohanlal acting as a young guy without much of a makeup. But as always his zeal to do something or let me say things which even the young actors in any language in India can't even attempt to.
Prakash Raj did an amazing job as the villain.
Motta Rajendran who showcased the character of Cameo Odiyan was amazing.
Good Songs, Good Picturisation
Of course there was no vulgar masala songs because most of the movie was set in rural Palakkad of 1970 to 1980s.
I would say that anyone who understands the concept of Odiyan would love the movie.
My family which includes My Father, My Mother, My wife, Mother in law cousins everyone loved the movie as we being from Palakkad understand the concept and WE LOVED THE ODIYAN MOVIE
