The Dheeran Story - According to legend, Eldhose, whose every action in his hometown results in unfavorable circumstances, passed away in an accident at work. A group of eccentric townsfolk opt to transport his remains to his family by car trip, which results in mayhem throughout. But because of their bad decisions, they ultimately arrive at the correct location at the ideal time.

Dheeran Review - The most praiseworthy element of this Devadath Shaji-directed picture is how he aims to demonstrate that the humorous appeal of the 1980s heroes has not waned bit. The film's straightforward plot will make you smile for a bit and remind you of the golden age of Malayalam, when even the fleeting performances of actors like Ashokan, Jagadish, and Sudheesh charmed the audience.

The film begins with the announcement that Eldose perished in a fire at his workplace in a Tamil Nadu village. This news evokes conflicting emotions among his family and the residents of his hometown, who formerly hailed him as a hero before he became a nuisance. A party of his relatives and local residents set out to transport his remains to his home country in order to carry out the last rites. However, because of the disastrous choices they made along the way, it is not as straightforward as they formerly believed.

Dheeran undoubtedly evokes memories of vintage Priyadarshan or Siddique-Lal films, in which humor arises out of a chain of chaos. The producers have focused on using the actors best suited for comedy in a realistic manner, avoiding the temptation to cram too many "funny" moments into the movie.

In this comedy drama, the performances are its strongest point since the filmmaker highlights the intriguing characteristics of the unconventional protagonists from different eras. Jagadish never ceases to amaze us with his fleetingly poignant moments, even if Manoj K Jayan, Ashokan, and Sudheesh offer us plenty of humorous scenarios. Abhiram Radhakrishnan, Rajesh Madhavan, and Shabareesh Varma should be praised for their capacity to produce equally amusing performances. Additionally, the producers have maintained audience interest by portraying Vineeth in a bad light. By showcasing their oddities in a funny manner without being ridiculous, they all get the audience to laugh for a while.

Another commendable aspect is Devadath's decision to stick with a female protagonist who isn't sobbing about the betrayal or premature death of her relationship. Harikrishnan Lohithadas' visually stunning images in the movie are enhanced by Mujeeb Majeed's music. Despite its predictable plot and climax, Dheeran's enjoyment value remains high.

Devadath Shaji makes an outstanding directorial debut with Dheeran Verdict, a comedy-drama featuring a cast of unusual protagonists.
