Dileep is on a winning spree, and he is making best use of it by producing CID Moosa with his brother Anoop, and the director is his friend Johney Antony. A full fledged comedy that has Dileep but no clear storyline or plot, this film is a crowd-puller, while serious Malayalam cinema with good names is playing to empty houses. We realize that many of the jokes and situations have come in his earlier movies, but they have been stitched together to entertain.
Moolankuzhiyil Sahadevan (Dileep, of course) is the son of a police officer (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) who was in the dog squad, but is now a slave of liquor. In this movie, the plot is that Sahadevan replaces his father to find the killer of the Chief Minister(Murali in a guest role). Sahadevan is assisted by the Police dog Arjun.
Moolankuzhiyil Sahadevan had an ambition to join the police force, but did not succeed because his brother-in-law Peethambaram, a sub-inspector, conspired against Sahadevan and failed him in the physical fitness test. So Sahadevan and his friendstook over and managed his uncle's private detective agency. To fulfill his father’s duties, and assisted by Arjun, the police dog, Moolankuzhiyil Sahadevan became CID Moosa, a one-man plus one-dog team to find and nab the person who assassinated the Chief Minister.
During his investigations, he came into contact with Pooja Bedi (Bhavana), a native of Mumbai, and this gives scope for flashy dresses, duets, and dances. How he finds the criminals forms the rest of the story. The saving grace of the film is its comedy, in which Dileep is very ably assisted by Harisree Ashokan, playing the role of a super-thief Thorappan, Kochin Haneefa as a policeman and Salim Kumar as a mad character. This is a team to watch out for!
Cinematography is top-class, almost up to international standards. Songs and music are unremarkable.
