Give this Bullet a miss

"An excuse for a movie" will be suffice to summarise the experience sitting through the Malayalam film Bullet starring Suresh Gopi and Kalabhavan Mani along with some nondescript faces.

Directed by Nizsar (sic), Bullet fills us with nostalgia of the not so distant era when films were made with buxom ladies in the lead. The execution of this film is so tacky with virtually no plot to boast about that it makes one wonder whether Suresh Gopi was forced to act in this project at gun point. His getup (as a full bearded monk with a saffron, black or blue bandana with matching jubba and mundu) is definitely entertaining!

Kalabhavan Mani is his usual self as a police officer and the novelty he gives to the character is a spasmodic twitch of the neck accompanied by the sound of bone breaking.

Story? It is about a music director duo of Ganga Prasad and Yamuna Prasad (played by Rajan P Dev and Devan) with criminal background, who while judging a musical reality show on TV, indulge in lewd talk on the cell phone with female contestants. One fine day, one of them goes missing and later on one of the duo's forearms is discovered from a dustbin.

So it turns out to be an investigative film with Suresh Gopi and Mani battling it out to find the culprit in their own way. But, please don't expect any logical explanation about how the events unfold.

Bullet is surely a film that you can give a miss.
