Kunchacko Boban plays Poly in M Padmkumar's 'Polytechnic' which aspires to be rollicking entertainer set on a politically charged milieu, but ends up nothing of the sort. Riddled with done to death scenarios, 'Polytechnic' might be considered as a nontoxic film that neither excites you with its brightness nor nauseates you with offensiveness of any sort.
Poly is a leftist leader first, and a young man who is generally having a gala time with his friends second. The love of his life Aswathy (Bhavana) is a cop, and her dad (Vijayaraghavan) isn't much awed by his prospective son-in-law
To put it straight, there seems very little impressive about Nishad Koya's script, and it does not make you want to cross your fingers in anticipation. At best, it manages to splash a smile or two across your face, but that simply isn't enough in a real lengthy feature film.
Someone seems to be really obsessed with those hit films of yore, and the references are numerous. The intention, as is obvious, is to entertain, but whether they actually do would depend on the kind of viewer that you are.
What takes the cake and the entire bakery in this regard is when Poly decides to take over Dakshayani Biscuits, a business enterprise. No prizes for guessing where that allusion obviously arises from, and you wonder what the entire purpose of these hints are.
Perhaps the worst bit about the film is its running time. You fervently wish that the editor had done some severe chopping away,
