Pappan has to repay Ittymani (Alencier Ley) a lumpsum he'd taken from him as a bribe for covering up a hit-n-run incident. The story soon shifts to two cops who are on suspension - Pappan (the sensational Tovino Thomas) and Joy (Balu Varghese, who's just too good at playing the side-kick), due to a botched operation that resulted in the untimely (and completely funny) demise of one of their superiors (Manoj K Jayan, in a cameo). We already get a feeling that this movie is by all means, NOT going to look like the typical comedy- thriller that we're used to seeing in Malayalam cinema. The beginning of Dominic Arun's "Tharangam" (bankrolled by Dhanush's Wunderbar films) reminds you of a cult- classic from the 80s - "Pappan Priyapetta Pappan" - set in paradise, a conversation ensues between God (the funniest on-screen version of him at least, played by Dileesh Pothan) and Kallan Pavithran (who was beaten to death and now observes his offspring suffer too, as the karmic outcome of all his criminal deeds), half the stretch shown in a comic-book styled animation with voice-overs, and the other half featuring the actors themselves.
