Plot

In California, the Republican party governor candidate John Kory (Sean James Sutton) is striving to raise his dismal ratings. Sunny Kurishingal (Vijay Babu), the chief campaign officer of John Kory, is failing with his campaign strategies and runs out of ideas to ensure Kory's victory. Sunny is forced to consult a third person's advise and calls Francis Kunjappan (Mukesh), a PWD minister and his native friend in Kerala, for hiring any good political consultant for devising campaign strategies. Kunjappan, initially reluctant, later recommends his friend and political competitor Jagannathan (Mohanlal), thus also hoping to get rid of him as he is a political threat to his ministerial position. Jagannathan, a young politician and a sports enthusiastic, is illiterate in English but has an inborn talent to solve the gravest of issues in the most prudent manner. Even Francis had consulted him for solving his toughest problems. But Francis thinks that Jaganathan’s unorthodox ideas will fail miserably in the US. Kunjappan meets Jagannathan and offers him the job and a remuneration of INR30 crores which is sufficient to raise Jagannathan's dream project, a sports academy in Kerala. Jagannathan takes up the assignment and flies to the US, together with his assistants Pottakuzhi Jabbar (Baburaj) and Vayalar Varkey (Aju Varghese).

Jagannathan and his pals are received by Sunny Kurinshingal in the US. Within the first hours with them Sunny gets disenchanted, seeing their deeds and behavior as childish. Still, he decides to explain to them about their job and the political system existing there. He tells them that unlike India, there are only two parties in the US, the Republicans and the Democrats. Democratic Party is the leading one in California and George Hopes is their candidate who has more approval from public. Jagannathan has the task to increase the ratings of Republican Party and enable it to win the election. Jagannathan, upon hearing this, decides to use the Indian tactics in politics to increase the rating i.e. by creating riots among people and deceiving them. Criticizing these cheap strategies of Jagannathan, Andy (Shankar Ramakrishnan), the campaign colleague of Sunny leaves Republican Party and joins the Democratic Party. Jagannathan continues with his moves, as he influences the medias and even recruits film script writers to write well crafted speeches. During his stay in the US, he meets new friends and a Japanese guy called Dupli who can make strong duplicates of electronics.

Meanwhile, Jagannathan is also searching for a girl for him to marry. It was his vow to marry only a foreign girl after his previous love failure. And occasionally, he meets a street hooker Jessy (Ragini Nandwani) and gets emotionally attached with her. They finally falls in love. Also it is shown that John Kory's ratings are increasing swiftly through Jagannathan's smart tricks. But one night unexpectedly, Jagannathan encounters a bad news from Sunny and Kory as they comes overnight seeking his help. Sunny tells him that a scandal video of Kory and a girl has been leaked and they have destroyed all the copies except the hard-copy which is believed to be in the security lock room of George Hopes. Jagannathan decides to get rid of this new threat, robs the hard-copy from Hope's residence with the help of his assistants Pottakuzhi and Vayalar. They gives a message to Sunny that the tape has been destroyed. The election campaign is declared over and John Kory is sure to win the Governor post. Meanwhile, Sunny comes with a bad news that the budget of the campaign had exceeded drastically what was pre-planned of. They decide to cheat Jagannathan and refuse to give him the remuneration they offered, blaming that he had made them cross the budget over the expected. Sunny argues that it's his responsibility to make the campaign cost effective and that then only will he be considered for a cabinet post next day.

Jagannathan asks for his remuneration a last time and states that it is urgent for him to rescue Jessy's child from the kidnappers, but Sunny threatens Jagannathan to leave the place. Jagannathan knowing he has been cheated, warns Sunny that he will make John Kory fail the next day's elections. Jagannathan comes with the money he needs the next day, but is not revealed that from where he got it. At last the elections come and the results shows that John Kory had lost and Democratic Party's George Hope won the elections for the new Governor of California. The results comes as a shock to the Republican Party. Jagannathan calls Sunny and reveals the backstage dramas which occurred last night. He tells that he joined with Andy and George Hope, the Democrats, and that they gave him his remuneration. Jagannathan with the help of his US friend Dupli re-programmed the voting machines with its duplicate models, replacing the original ones. He also tells him that the scandal video was actually not destroyed: Jabbar had made a secret copy of it for his pleasure. They disclosed it to the public and it was being shown it in the medias now. Meanwhile, Jagannathan and his pals returns to India with Jessy and opens his sports academy.

Production

Development

Indian-American director Arun Vaidyanathan makes his Malayalam debut through Peruchazhi. Earlier he had directed some English short films, television dramas and critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful Tamil film Achchamundu! Achchamundu!. The type of humour used in the film was inspired by Cho Ramaswamy's 1971 Tamil classic political-satire Muhammad bin Tughluq, but different concept as Peruchazhi has a pan Indian narrative. About the unique title, "The term Peruchazhi obviously refers to a bandicoot but I can't discuss the relevance of the title right now, as there is some suspense involved. A bandicoot has its own instincts. For instance, we have no idea where it comes from and where it vanishes to. It just appears and takes what it wants in the process. Jagannathan, the character played by Lal Sir (Mohanlal), is like that. He will do anything to win." says the director.[10] Initially Arun Vaidyanathan wrote the original script in English and Tamil. Ajayan Venugopalan was selected to translate the dialogues in Malayalam, the writer/director who is famous for his acclaimed Malayalam comical television sitcom Akkara Kazhchakal set on the US. Mohanlal was actually not the first choice to play the role, “The script found the actor" says Arun. While scripting Arun wanted the character to be an international franchise so he named it "Ulaganathan" – conqueror of the world. When it came in Malayalam the name was changed to "Jagannathan" which implise the same meaning.[11]

In the films post production stage, filmmaker Biju made a sarcastic statement on the report of a suggestion pointed by the committee headed by filmmaker Adoor Gopalakrishnan, that the Government of Kerala should make it mandatory for film titles to be in Malayalam in order to get subsidies. He responded "On what criteria should a movie be given subsidy, is it the title or its artistic value?" citing the names of Peruchazhi, Koothara and Nee Ko Njaa Cha in social media. The production house replied it as a senseless comment without knowing the reason behind the title and its relevance.[12][13][14]

Casting and crew

Mohanlal had done the lead role.[15][16] Mukesh was among the first to cast alongside Mohanlal.[17] During the film's pre-production stage the former Miss India USA and American actress Pooja Kumar was cast as the heroine.[18][19] But later, Bollywood actress Ragini Nandwani was confirmed as the lead opposite Mohanlal. She is playing an Anglo Indian love interest of Jagannathan alias Peruchazhi played by Mohanlal.[20][21] Baburaj and Aju Varghese has shared screen space in comic roles. They have been cast as the assistants of Mohanlal's character Jagannathan and follow him everywhere.[22][23] Ashvin Mathew is also a part of the film being cast as a comedian in a small role.[24][25] Actress Poonam Bajwa had done an item dance in a song. Taiwanese American actor John Wusah has been cast for a significant role.[26] Besides, producers Sandra Thomas and Vijay Babu were also acted in the movie.

Mohanlal appears in a totally different getup.[29] The dothi for this particular movie is designed in roman fashion by M C R. Director Arun Vaidyanathan said costume design by Preethi Kanthan "Inspired by Roman design. This border is used on the togo worn by Julius Caesar and his ministers. The leaf in the border denotes power".[30] Raymonds is making the coats for all characters in the movie.[31]

Reception

Critical reception

V. P. Nicy of International Business Times gave four out of five stars for the film and stated that the film is a clean entertainer. She also wrote, "The film has a few moments, which will take you back to good old days of Mohanlal film. If you are a Mohanlal fan, the film will be a feast for you and Arun Vaidyanathan has nailed a good political satire for this festive season."[50] Nikhil Skaria, writing for Malayala Manorama, stated in his review, "the film is a festival entertainer and a big treat to Mohanlal fans".[51] IndiaGlitz stated "Though the filmmaker demands the viewers to keep away logic while watching the stuff, at times it stoop down to absurdness which cannot be digested even while you just demand entertainment quotient", while giving the film 6/10 stars.[52] Akhila Menon of Filmi Beat gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and wrote that the film "is engaging at some places" but that it "shows some real flaws also." She further wrote, "Arun Vaidyanathan succeeds in bringing out the real comic elements from the actors; but fails in molding a real political satire on screen. As a result, the movie looks artificial at places."[53] Aswin J Kumar of The Times of India also gave the film 3/5 stars, but criticized the film, "The attempt at political satire in this film is feeble, mindless and boring. It's more like a mask over disfigurement, for there is hardly any scope for satire in a narrative riddled with superfluous acts of a star who has begun to show signs of insecurity."[54]

Sujit Chandra Kumar of Deccan Chronicle gave the film two and a half stars and stated, "Arun Vaidyanathan has packed [the film] with so much spice that even if one ingredient fails to please, there is still something else for that die-hard fan."[55] Sify stated, "Peruchazhi is meant for hardcore Mohanlal fans. There are some moments that remind us about those good old days of the superstar. If that is all you want from an entertainer, leave your brains back home and try this one at your own risk."[56]

Box office

Peruchazhi had an opening day gross of INR3.5 crore (US$560,000) which is the highest opening for a Malayalam movie worldwide.[57] Sify stated that the film started with a good box office, and was a hit at the box office.[58]
