Lokpal is a 2013 Indian Malayalam-language vigilante action film written and directed by Joshiy. The film stars Mohanlal in the titular role, along with Kavya Madhavan, Meera Nandan, Manoj K. Jayan, and Saikumar in supporting roles.
The film revolves around Nandagopal (Mohanlal), a mysterious man who operates as a "Lokpal," an ombudsman figure, delivering justice outside the formal legal system. He investigates and punishes corrupt government officials and individuals involved in illegal activities. The narrative explores the motivations behind Nandagopal's vigilante actions and the challenges he faces in his pursuit of justice.
The film addresses themes of corruption, justice, and the public's frustration with the slow and often ineffective legal system. It portrays a scenario where an ordinary citizen takes matters into their own hands to combat widespread corruption.
Lokpal was released to mixed reviews, with some praising Mohanlal's performance and the film's action sequences, while others criticized its predictable plot and lack of originality. The film had a moderate run at the box office.
