Critic Review
Napoleon (2017) Napoleon (Anand Ravi) comes to the police station complaining that he has lost his shadow.  The CI (played by Ravi Varma) is quite flabbergasted by the claim, so also his senior (Kedar Shankar in a largely inconsequential role) and his juniors. Napoleon, now a state-wide sensation, also starts claiming that God is visiting him in dreams to tell weird stuff like how lower back pain is caused by the Municipal Corporation!  But not all of his Goddamed dreams are eerie. When Napoleon says that one Tirupathi who is believed to have died in an accident was actually murdered, it interests the CI to reopen the case, who discovers that it was indeed a murder. The cops' investigation leads to some startling facts. Meanwhile, we learn that Napoleon may have forgotten his identity and his wife (Komali) is baffled at the unexpected turn of events in her life.
