The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Jayasurya excels as the lead character of the ambitious young lad who gets embroiled in a money-laundering business on pigs & their slaughter.What could've been documented as the grave state of the slaughterhouses and how it suppresses activists without mercy has been amateurishly brought out as a film with no zero to no entertainment factor involved. There are songs, actresses, wits, but they are so damn boring, there is a strong chance people may stop it midway.The plot sure has potential, but with a feeble screenplay & disastrous framework & writing, Pigman is just another failure in Malayalam cinema. It is real shame for the makers to have adopted an award-winning story into such a gimmick. Dramas on social causes must be fathomable & not mainstreamed.BOTTOM LINE: Not recommended! But if you are into art-house flicks which talk deep about social issue (animal slaughter), go have a look.Profanity/Sex/Smoking: No | Violence/Gore: Mild | Alcohol: Mild
