The payoff to the joke happens only in the second half but the manner in which the joke is played out - a senior officer berating the cop for the damage that he has wreaked while trying to act heroic - feels overlong and repetitive that we aren’t tickled. A sample is the spoof of the over-the-top heroic cop in our films that appears just before the interval point. As a result, many of the jokes do not work that well. It is as if the makers decided to stick to the lowest possible yardstick and were satisfied for managing to cross it. There is scope for an interesting black comedy in this plot but Aadama Jaichomada often feels less quirky and less funny than it should have been. The cops think he can lead to them to a most-wanted bookie but then things don’t turn out as they expected. The plot revolves around a call taxi driver who gets a match-fixer as a passenger and is arrested after the fixer dies mysteriously. Movie Review: Aadama Jaichomada is about match-fixing in cricket but it wants to talk about the scandal in a humourous way. Synopsis: A call taxi driver gets into trouble with the cops for his involvement with a bookie, who dies under mysterious circumstances.
