 The team of Mohanlal-Priyadarshan is undoubtedly one of the most accomplished of duos in the history of Malayalam cinema. The comedy capers that they have attempted have all went on to rewrite box office records back in the 80s and 90s.

Now with this team back together, viewers anticipate the magic to be recreated once more to usher back the golden age of Malayalam cinema. But the question remains – do they still have that Midas touch?
