I dare to give it a rating of -100/ 10.
Little known Facts
* It has Starring : Kunchakko Boban,Richa Panai ,Ananya,Suraj Venjaramoodu , Lalu Alex,Ganesh Kumar, Vijayakumar, Manoj K Jayan, Biju Pappan, Jaffer Idukki, Kochu Preman..
* It's Directed By M S Manu
* It's Written By Ratheesh Sukumaran
Plot:
Kunchako Boban plays Sai Ramachandran, an IT professional in the film, who gets into trouble, when he accidentally runs over a gang leader. Andipetti Nayar (Suraj Vengharenmood), another gang leader declares that he had made Sai commit the murder and try to marry his daughter with him.
Why it is Rotten:
* After the success of ‘Doctor Love’, Kunchacko Bobban has been unofficially declared the Midas of Kerala. In his latest flick he works with newcomer M.S Manu, the asst. to Shaji Kailas, and has brought a comedy film told in the background of action.
* The characters had no strength so the film went loose and boring, the writer and director tried to make comedy at the cost of character. Unbelievable twist, characters of Sai’s best friends, Murukan all changes towards the climax.
* The film had stumbled in the script stage itself.
* Kuchacko Boban acted fine as Sai, a software engineer who gets into problems by killing a goon in an accident.
* Suraj as Aandipetty did his part well.
* Richa Panai, the Bhima Jewellery ad girl, needs to learn acting. In many scenes she was not emoting. Lalu Alex is ok. * Ananya looked cute as always and acted effortlessly as Kanmani.
* Lal Jose’s technique of turning villains into comedian and comedians into character roles are very well appreciated by audience here. Recently we have seen Baburaj following the path in Salt and Pepper. Now it is Vijayakumar’s turn to give his career a new twist through Sandwich. Vijayakumar who we have seen mostly as the aid to Mohanlal in many films was seen with the body language of Mohanlal himself. Even his eye movement resembles the great actor.
* Ganesh Kumar acted as himself for the nth number of time, this time pretending in police uniform.
* Malayali’s have a special love and respect for Kunchacko and they love to see him for many more years, so a word of caution to favorite star, don’t act in all films that come your way, think the fate of Bala; also act more in multi star projects.
* The film, Sandwich is shot at Thiruvananthapuram and has a predictable climax. As Sathyan Anthikkad said, it took him assisting 10 films that he realized it’s not what we see that makes the movie. M.S Manu and his writing partner Ratheesh Sukumaran need to mature a little more to make a successful movie.
