Hello - The right call.

Cast : Mohanlal, Parvathy Melton, Jagadhi Sreekumar, Madhu, Salim Kumar, Siddique, Ganesh Kumar, Suraj Venjaramoodu etc...
Direction : Rafi Mecartin
Producer : Joy Thomas.

Between his boozing sessions, Shivaraman (Mohanlal) rarely has his mind in place. He is a man living with the memories of his beloved love Priya who was tragically killed with the connivance of his parents. Soon he falls into despair and for liquor; always drinking around at home and at the Bars across the town. He is but not alone in his boozing sessions. Often he has the company of Chaandy kunhu (Jagadhi Sreekumar). Boozing often ends up in a fight with the fellow drinkers and they both enjoy such an end to the drink.

Presently a thorough alcoholic, Shivaraman was a busy advocate in his past. It is the tragedy of his love that derailed him. Once, half drunk as always, he happens to receive an SOS call from a girl named Parvathy (Parvathy Melton) who was kidnapped for ransom setup by her own well wishers. He goes out to rescue her easily finding out the Bar (locations of most he is already familiar) which she gave as the landmark to the building she was housed by the kidnappers. It is with this rescue that the story takes a turn.

She was in more danger than he thought, unable to go back to the home she belongs to, due to the threat from own family. The rest of of the movie is built around the efforts by this veteran lawyer in trying to save her from the clutches of imminent danger. For this, he goes onto live at her own home claiming that they are husband and wife.

Movie moves between comedy, fights, and love that Parvathy and Shivaraman develops once she is under his care. Jagathi, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Salim Kumar team handled the comedy department well and Parvathy seemed at ease with her dancing and she also brings yet another new face to Malayalam cinema and that's refreshing to the viewers; a beginners troubles are sometimes felt in her acting though. Movie is worth a watch although the story is far from anything special.

5 marks out of 10.
