This film has a common man as its protagonist and talks about the corruption he resorts to, to adapt to a bureaucracy, which he believes he can’t change single-handedly. Pretty much like talented filmmaker Priyadarshan who gave us rare gems like Kaala Paani and Kanchivaram but has more often served us coal-tar cinema by acclimatizing himself to the tastelessness of Bollywood bureaucracy. And then he calls it Khatta Meetha .
So Priyadarshan continues his ritual of remakes by revisiting his own 1989 film, Vellanakalude Nadu (starring Mohanlal and Shobana). The utmost upgrading he does to the two-decade old plot is by altering the Malayalam milieu to Marathi to which you can only say nanachi taang (to hell with).
