Money Back Policy Review

'Money Back Policy' is a film that masquerades itself as one that has a very valid message to convey. But in truth, it has nothing much to proclaim except the tale of a sexually frustrated middle aged man who develops a bizarre fascination for a young girl.
Ashokan (Sreenivasan) is a man who has never been rich in life, until sister passes him a fortune upon her death. Having discovered the luxuries that money can offer overnight, he falls for an insurance agent Roopa (Aishwarya Nambiar) and tries his best to woo her, even as his wife (Sarayu) and kids wait for him back home
One fails to understand what it is that draws and actor - director - script writer of repute like Sreenivasan towards a role as this. There is precisely nothing that it offers the actor in him, and when he dons the role of Ashokan, we are disappointed and terribly at that.
The film follows a narrative style that you had probably seen (and forgotten) in films in the eighties, where the protagonist would board a bus, and his fellow travelers would compel him to tell them his tale. Off he goes on a storytelling spree that goes on till the climax, where he gets down from the bus to formally pull down the curtains on the tale.
The viewers cannot be really blamed for thinking of those various characters that Sreenivasan had essayed on screen over the years, while watching the actor in action in 'Money Back Policy'. It even seems that this is precisely the intention of the film makers as well,
