'Seniors' talks about how four friends; Pappu alias Padmanabbhan, Idikkula, Rex and Munna, decide to return to their college, after 1 years, and the fun and suspense unveiled at the end of the story. Pappu, was sentenced for a jail term of 12 years, after an incident that happened 12 years ago, during a college festival, which brought a stand still to the college life of the four. However, the four decide to return to college to pursue MA Philosophy, and regain what ever they had missed out on. However, they soon dig out something that was buried long ago. The cast, consists of several people, for whom this movie, is a come back one.
Vysakh, after a long way from 'Pokkiriraja' has gone a long way to make this complicated script into a movie worth watching and an easy one to direct. A wonderful mix of emotions and an interesting climax, due to its execution has brought in a new angle to the story. It is scripted by Sachisethu, after a let downer 'Doubles'. The dialogues are simple, eliminating the flowery language, with plenty of fun in the former half and Suraj's slapstick comedy in the later half. The film portrays Manoj K Jayan as the flirty one, Jayaram as the serious one and Kunchakko Bobban's improved and matured actor.
The music also plays an important role in the movie. A true entertainer, the movie has something for everyone.
