Twenty 20
First things first. The film is worth a watch which means it hasnt turned into a damp squib as everyone expected. This however dosent mean anything for Malayalam cinema which is probably going through its worst ever phase and Twenty 20 hasnt done anything to bail it out. If this film was intended as a homage to the film industry then it really falls flat coz its nothing more than a commercial potboiler. What works for the film is its star value. All the actors are aptly cast and the screenplay is pretty taut from start to finish. Finally, the film's big time commercial success has Dileep laughing all the way to the bank and all the superstars featured in it (which is everybody) grinning from ear to ear.
