Trust film-makers to learn their lessons having burnt their fingers badly at boxoffice. No, with their never say die attitude, they do not. The result, another Alibhai, in the fervent hope, there’s always a next time. But, then, when directors such as Shaji Kailas believe in making a demi-God of their talented superstars with wanton heroics, not only does the film turns a dud, the indulgent audience invite headache, the star too suffers severe credibility.
Having tasted success with Narasimham, Shaji blindly believes he can do the trick and bet his moolah on Mohanlal to deliver. Narasimham was just a flash in the pan, for Shaji-Mohanlal duo’s similar offerings such as Nattu Rajavu, Thandavam and Baba Kalyani, simply vanished without a whimper. 
Just the whimisical way Shaji goes about with his introduction of Mohanlal as Alibhai is inkling enough to the sordid state of things to come.
Yes, Shaji Sir, Mohanlal may be a mass hero, but even a die-hard Mohanlal fan won’t digest the senseless heroism of this one man show that is foisted on them.  Mohanlal plays the role of Anwar Ali alias Alibhai, the saviour of Palayam market.
Cochin Haneefa, Jagadish, Shammi Thilakan, Ganesh, Sooraj Venjaranmoodu, Vijaya Kumar, Sudhish, K.P.A.C Lalitha are the members of  this crew in the market. The flower seller Chenthamara (Navya Nair) and Ganga (Gopika), both crazy about Alibhai, but our hero has no time for love as he is obsessed with taking up and championing people’s causes.
Script writer Shahid, as usual, mixes elements of sentiments, with Alibhai’s family story and his bitter experience in childhood. Innocent and Chitra Shenai play his parents. Songs by Alex Paul and background score by Rajamani, are in keeping with the general tedious and trite proceedings. So is the limpid camera work by Saravanan.
Those that can bet their money on watching Mohanlal aka Alibhai, the single handed demolition man, then suffer two hours and 20 minutes like yours truly did.
