At the same time, Sakriya Thomas, the Home Minister of Kerala arrived at the hospital for his wife's delivery. Meanwhile, the terrorist group was planning to kidnap the Home Minister and his newborn baby. Saifudeen kidnapped three newborn babies and Dr. Balagopal (Mohanlal) came looking for them. Meanwhile, the Home Minister is kidnapped by Saifudeen's men. In the end, Balagopal kills Saifudeen and saves Home Minister and the babies. All the terrorists were captured or killed by the police.

PodBill Just what I expected
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
alentomy-40099 This is an inspiring movie all time in malayalam .This movie is a grate compliment to all .The story of this movie is little hesitating .This movie is made in one day .
kominbhai Even the best of actors can't save a movie as awful as this one is and no one can blame the array of greats made to participate in this farce masquerading as an experiment. It's an experiment alright, but more like torture. Regardless of whether a movie is being shot in one day or twenty days, a good story is necessary for any movie. This movie seemed to be conceptualized to be filmed in a day instead of narrating a good movie. Mohanlal looks disinterested in the proceedings and does a rare mediocre act in this movie. The worst part of this movie is that it can't be even seen as a guilty pleasure. Sure, the effects are the extreme of tackiness, but, the movie is let down by its sense of dread and hero worship. Stay away or watch when you can't get to sleep.
timesquare66 This movie was experimental and the director shows some effort through mohanlal's character. The ending was predictable which was the let down of the movie. But it carries a message. A doctor can save lives and take away lives when he wants to. It was a very short movie. An actor like Mohanlal can carry a film on his shoulders as shown in the movie. Unfortunately audience want to see more of Mohanlal in his movies. I doubt if mammooty could do this role effectively as Mohanlal as it was best suited for Mohanlal. This is why Mohanlal is the superior actor. Regardless of how this movie fared, it was a nice movie and will not be forgotten so soon.
manjodude "I dedicate this film to all directors who are inspirating me." - Prashanth Mambully. Yes, the key word is inspirating. Watching this beginning line in the movie, I realised that whatever happens next will be not as I expected. I saw Bhagavan mainly for one reason - it was completely shot in Allied Hospital, Kunnamkulam(Thrissur) where my dad works. So I sat through it.Okay good points first. I think many of the lesser popular actors like Daniel Balaji(best performance), actors who essayed the role of Police head Mohammed Iqbal, the wheel chair father of a young girl, the young girl itself(dunno their names), actor Sudheesh(flirty male nurse) have done their best to be sincere in their roles. Daniel Balaji will continue to get offers as he shines as a villain and maybe be a hero too. Even the camera-work was nice in some scenes like the commandos storming out of a helicopter or the slow-motion scene of police chief Mohammed Iqbal & his team walking through a corridor discussing strategy. And the aim of creating a record movie was good, and they achieved it too. Completing a movie in 12 hours with only 9 camera, absolutely inside the hospital. A good intention but bad delivery!The cons far outweigh any pros. "Inspirating"?!!! And "diffused"(as in bomb diffused)?! This clearly showed the interest levels of the filmmakers. A little Google check would have corrected such embarrassing errors. There's been negligible or no research even in the characterisation of the terrorist, forget other characters. The main terrorist Saifudeen(done by Daniel Balaji) looks more like a madman who's hopeless in hand to hand combat. If a middle-aged gynaecologist can take him down in less than 3 secs, then I don't really have to say anything! Even Mohanlal's natural flair could not save even his own performance, thanks to the script and clichéd dialogues like "One day, I too became God...." This must unarguably be the weakest movie in his career. Actresses like Lakshmi Gopalaswamy and Lena had nothing(significant) to do.Verdict - Unless you have a 'reason' like me to watch, stay far away.Finally, to the filmmakers - Forget Bhagavan(movie) and pray to Bhagavan(God) for your next movie. Amen
