While 'Paradesi' isn't groundbreaking cinema, not by far, it certainly is good cinema. In his waning days of stardom, Mohanlal should try and play more of such characters so that he can leave behind as many good roles as possible. Kudos to the director P.T. Kunhi Muhammad, and to Mohanlal, for handling a very different theme here.
