The ingredients are more or less the same – an unusual and unexpected villain, a wronged hero, the revenge, the chase and the justifications for retribution. ‘Oru Second Class Yathra’ also has an unlikely flavor, which is comedy, which makes the movie stand out. It is not a bad attempt and is very much a family movie and the subject of rape of a different nature is very relevant. Watch it without much expectation and you might be pleasantly surprised.
