Vishwak Sen, who acted as one of the lead stars in Tarun Bhasckars second film Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi, has seen potential in remaking Malayalams cult hit Angamaly Dairies and changed the backdrop to Hyderabads old city.

Besides directing, Vishwak Sen also plays the lead role in this movie. The film was made with all newcomers and it won critical acclaim for its depiction of the local culture, gang wars and terrific direction.

Vishwak Sen has tried to be faithful to the original movie but he has erred in mainly two points  getting the gang wars right and transporting the original feel here.

Gang wars in mutton business looks completely unrealistic. We have not heard of or seen such fights in this business in Hyderabad though the huge market for red meat does exist in old city. Vishwak Sen also prolongs many unnecessary scenes with no purpose.

The long fights, the lengthy scenes and unengaging romantic episodes have marred the films mood. In the original movie too, all these elements are there but the Malayalam director captured the romantic thread quite well.

There are couple of funny dialogues and the authentic Telangana local accent glues us to the screen in some scenes. The following scenes again kill the mood.

There is no consistency. First and foremost, the story of gang wars for mutton business in no way connects to us as there is no local touch. Vishwak Sen just transported the same scenes from the original to here without caring whether they have any roots here.

The climax sequences are not handled well at all.

Then what works Well, the director and actor Vishwak Sen begins the movie well and sets up the mood. He is quite relatable in his raging mood. Dialogues like Falaknumala Podduna Lechinama Bara Baja Tinnama. generate good humor. Uttejs natural acting and Tarun Bhasckars episodes are quite engaging.

Despite some sparks here and there, the film in totality becomes a pale version of the original Malayalam movie and the set up is completely unfamiliar and looks unrealistic.

After a time, you dont see anything but people drinking (Mandu) and eating non veg (Mutton) as if this film all about this activity.
