Twenty years in Kerala have almost transformed Durga Prasad (Mammootty), a native of Jharkhand, into a Malayali. Durga is distraught when his heavily pregnant wife Sheetal (Manasi Sharma) is referred to a private hospital following a doctors' strike at the government hospital. A chance encounter with a mysterious man (Padmaraj Ratheesh) on the streets, leads to Durga earning some quick money. However, when he realizes that a tremendous tragedy is about to befall the city of Cochin, he springs to action and leads a one man army battle against the perpetrators of evil.
Maarthandan's 'Acha Din' is a classic instance of a fine idea having gone all wrong in implementation. It takes a while for the film to swing into momentum, and even then, it's incapable of retaining the viewers' interest despite the rapid pace at which things progress.
There are the hiccups in the script that cannot be ignored, and the take of the common man emerging as the saviour of a city is certainly not without its share of exaggeration. The script writer carries over the message from his previous film (which I liked infinitely better) and states yet again that God is with you through thick and thin.
Nothing wrong in that, but it doesn't stop there. There is a police chief who is a Christian who has rejoined duty after a short hiatus that was fruitfully spent at a retreat centre, Durga Prasad who is a Hindu, and the Azan that echoes from across a mosque as the terror plans get hampered -
