Plot
St Petersburg experiences some suspicious digital activity. In Trivandrum, the left parties are protesting against the government for its new liquor policy. The CM, KN Varghese, proposes a policy – No liquor in hotels. His son, JohnVarghese, an IT entrepreneur, makes a deal with a Russian firm for his data protection company. To pursue an important professional deal, John and his wife plan to visit St Petersburg. Before they start, John discusses politics with his father. Is KN Varghese a good politician? Is he posing like a do-gooder? What about John? The rest of the story deals with this.
Star Performance
Nivin Pauly does what was required of him. Sharafudheen is good in the negative role. Balachandra Menon is good in his CM role. After a long time, Sabitha returns with a good performance-oriented role and shines. Nishant is good in his role. Ann Augustine performs decently. Neethu doesn’t have much to do.
Analysis
The director tried to expose the complicated connection between corporate media and policymaking. But there are a lot of loopholes in the screenplay. Although the story didn’t showcase the lead actor as a star hero and tried to present him as a normal person through the narrative, a few writing setbacks prevent it from happening. Although some characters lack depth, a few characters, including Sabitha Anand’s are appreciable. The visuals and music are quite decent.

Verdict
The director didn’t complete the message that he wanted to showcase. However, it is a good attempt to showcase the nexus between policymaking and corporate media. If you don’t expect much, you won’t be disappointed.
