The homicide is adopted shortly by one other in the identical method of SI Soman (Tini Tom). Vincy zeroes in on Chacko (Shammy Thilakan), because the modus operandi is much like his.
Within the meantime, DSP (Vijayaraghavan) brings in, as an adviser, ex-cop Abraham Mathew Mathan, aka Pappan (Suresh Gopi) and Vincy’s father, who had arrested Chacko earlier. Although each Pappan and Vincy didn’t get alongside due to a bitter previous occasion, they comply with work collectively. The investigations takes many twists and turns and the way they nab the assassin makes up the remainder of the story.
Joshiy’s staples of revenge and homicide investigation, knitted with household, feelings, and melodrama are in place in Paappan too. Suresh Gopi’s comeback as an excellent cop is one other spotlight of the film, although he’s hardly seen in his uniform besides in flashbacks.
Neeta Pillai excels in her efficiency, bringing within the physique language and look of a cop, whereas additionally enjoying the emotional facet of the estranged daughter of a policeman. Gokul Suresh as Paappan’s son was overshadowed by his real-life father’s presence. Then again, Suresh Gopi seems gorgeous in lots of scenes. Nyla Usha as his spouse has accomplished her function fairly properly. The remainder of the forged – Asha Sharath as a health care provider, Tini Tom as SI Soman, Nandu as SI Raghavan, Sreejith Ravi as driver Rajan and Kaniha – have accomplished justice to their roles.
Joshiy has maintained the suspense of the investigation until the final body, filling the story with a number of twists. Contemplating it’s an investigative thriller, the cinematography by Ajay David Kachappilly is sweet, with lovely photographs of Pathanamthitta and the Pulimala space.
The primary half of the film feels fast-paced, with suspense and breathtaking scenes, however the second half strikes at a snail’s tempo, with an excessive amount of melodrama, relationship points and such.
At 170 minutes, the movie is simply too lengthy. Paappan is an effective suspense thriller film, in case you are able to face some excessive voltage melodrama and plenty of twists, however for Suresh Gopi, you’ll be able to take this.
