However, when Madcap began to threaten lives, Nomad was forced to knock him out and overcome him. Nomad befriended Madcap, trying to understand his origins, motivations and powers. ĭuring one of his first trips, he met newbie adventurer Nomad, who was at that moment Captain America's partner. He had no compunction about putting people in danger: as he could not be hurt, he could not understand that other people could be hurt. He called himself the Madcap and wandered through New York City driving people crazy. He bought a bubble gun in a general store and stole a harlequin costume. He soon discovered his other power, which allowed him to drive people crazy. įinally, this man decided that things happen without a reason, and that nothing has a purpose. He correctly suspected that the accident had given him this immunity to damage, but could not understand why he was to obtain power from an accident who had killed forty people, including his family and friends. To his surprise, he was unharmed and felt no pain at all. He ran away from the hospital and threw himself to a car trying to commit suicide. He would recover consciousness in a hospital, but then discovered that he was the sole survivor and his faith in a rational universe collapsed. Coincidentally, this man laid unconscious for hours on a pool of X07, which would eventually evaporate. The accident killed all of the people in the bus, except for the man who would become Madcap. were trying to destroy a chemical developed by themselves, Chemical X07, which apparently included enzymes to incite a rapid healing in human bodies. This man, his parents and his sister Katy went to the trip in a bus, with some other forty people. Overall, though a couple of situations don't work (one with a monkey, for example), Dakini surely deserves a pat on its back for taking a road less travelled.The man who would become Madcap was a religious man belonging to a group that organised a trip. Every shot is neatly composed and is straight out of an interior design magazine. The usual bland TV serial look, which is typical of many Malayalam family entertainers, is ditched in favour of a more colourful, comic-book aesthetic. Indrans (in another eccentric performance) plays Mayan's crippled father Raju Bhai.Ī lot of care has gone into this film's presentation. But Rahul also puts him in a couple of comical situations which tones down his menace considerably. One of them includes viciously killing a man in front of his young daughter after giving the girl a candy and then reminding her father of the story of Judas ("Are you trying to turn me into Jesus?"). Mayan is a character inside a comedy, sure, but in order to give us a sense of who the lead characters are up against, Rahul gives us a few moments to show us what Mayan is capable of. Obviously, what we have is an unusual situation. Giving them company are two youngsters, Jeemon (Aju Varghese doing what he does best) and a so-called local gangster, Vikraman Parudeesa (Saiju Kurup, also doing what he does best). This provides the necessary impetus for the other three to join her in a daring plan to rescue Kuttan. Molly, now visibly transformed by the re-ignited passion, refuses to let go of Kuttan the second time. No one knows where it is and who has taken it. But he wouldn't kill him yet (that's what he normally does to people who betrayed him) because he wants back the money which has now unexpectedly gone missing. You see, Kuttan had run off with Mayan's money.īut it doesn't take long for Mayan to snatch him. But there is a reason why Kuttan left her and there is a reason why he came back now, and both involve Mayan ( Chemban Vinod Jose), the aforementioned mafia don and Kuttan's former employer. We learn that Molly had chosen to lead a life of celibacy after Kuttan disappears from her life when they were youngsters in love. One can say that Molly is the 'hero' of the story because it's her history with Kuttan that serves as the catalyst for the events that follow. There is nothing exciting happening in their lives, and, naturally, they yearn for an earth-shattering adventure.Įnter Kuttan Pillai (Alencier Ley), an old flame of Pauly Valsan's character, Molly. Just like its four leading ladies - played by Sarasa Balussery, Sethu Lakshmi, Pauly Valsan, and Savithri Sreedharan - the film doesn't behave in a way that others expect them to. But before that, enough time is spent establishing the characters and the little details of their world (like their eagerness to learn about WhatsApp) instead of rushing into things. What would happen if four grandmothers decided to take on a dreadful mafia don? This is the basic premise of Dakini. Cast: Sarasa Balussery, Sethu Lakshmi, Pauly Valsan, Savithri Sreedharan, Saiju Kurupįor starters, its main characters are not youngsters.
