- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone who loves watching the truth get chased down and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story. Liked Grindhouse? This is a good next one.

- Tense, gritty.
- The pace
- Big, sprawling and full of spectacle, at 2 hr 58 min.
- What might put you off
- It's long: 2 hr 58 min.

Nandagopal, an associate editor with Keralareshmi, one of the leading dailies, is aggressive and daring and enjoys a good reputation among the media circle. Born and brought up in Mumbai, Nandan is the son of Venugopal, a daring journalist who was killed by textile mafia long back. Nandan, in Kochi meets Sekharan, an old naxalite who is running Jagratha, a newspaper which is feared by political class. Sekharan's outspoken and belligerent nature had earned him more enemies than friends. He is constantly fighting Vishwathan, who rules Kochi with his muscle and money. Vishwanathan holds a large share in Keralareshmi and enjoys a huge political clout at state and central levels. Shekharan brings out the role of Vishwanathan in the murder of Vincent Paul, which creates a panic in the political level.
