Thirakkatha

A screenplay being written within the movie takes its author deep into the lives of its characters. Akbar's (Prithviraj) journey to unearth the truth behind the sudden disappearance of a budding cinema star starts off well. But it makes a drastic turn for the worse and dissolves in to pathetic melodrama.

Arabikatha

Mukundan's (Sreenivasan) communist fervor and admiration for Fidel Castro is so strong that he is known as Cuba Mukundan in Chemmanur, Kerala. But his unyielding socialist philosophy does not sit well with some of the higher ups in the party. So they frame his father (Nedumudi Venu) for embezzling party funds and Mukundan is forced to work in Dubai to recoup the losses. A film that shows you the real face of the Kerala communist party and the plight of Keralites working in the Middle East.

Chocolate

I am not sure what chocolates have to do with this movie. Shyam (Prithwiraj) prances into an all girl's college with the usual furor. Ann (Roma) and her friends oppose the new entry with great vengeance. But then of course hate turns to love and so the story goes. An entertainer with a few hilarious sequences. Other than that there is not much to write home about this flick.
