‘Nna Thaan Case Kodu’ movie review: An earnest Kunchacko Boban in a biting satire

Writing pages and pages of dialogues and managing to pull a joke out of every second or third line is hardly an easy task. Of the things that Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval has achieved in his third outing Nna, Thaan Case Kodu, the laughs that his lines evoke must be the most satisfying for him. The humour that these dialogues produce is quite organic, evolving out of a situation, a somewhat serious one that too.

Nna Thaan Case Kodu
Director: Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval
Cast: Kunchacko Boban, Gayathrie, P P Kunhikrishnan
Storyline: A reformed thief begins a legal battle over a pothole on the road in front of an MLA's house

Rajeevan (Kunchacko Boban), a reformed thief, has his honour and many other things at stake when he begins a legal battle over a pothole on the road in front of an MLA's house, which — according to him — led to a series of events that caused him not just physical injury, but branded him as a thief yet again. He has to prove his innocence to his live-in partner Devi (Gayathrie), and to the society around them. It is not an easy battle for him, for he is seeking to hold the state's public works minister responsible for the pothole. It is obviously a personal battle which has more than an element of public interest.
