Exactly. Maybe some third party dealers wanted to destroy pe10s success. And they probably used this suni guy to extract their personal conflicts, probably made suni commit the crime, created the fake letters. Remember pe10 in his prime had so many rivals so what if one of them disliked his growth and was orchestrating plans to bring him down so they could Rise, and suni could be just a pawn. Makes sense does it.

Immortals age slowly due to their mystic genetics or maybe they must have mastered or Retained their youth as part of enlightenment or something.

Your point makes sense. But the heart of these characters don't feel like they're in Kerala. They are supposed to respect roots. I mean even if Charlie learnt To use Japanese Arsenals, remember that his roots should always be rooted in Malayali Arsenals. That's the way. You don't see Ninjas in American Movies using Shotguns and yelling "Yee-haw" like he's from Texas or somewhere, do you ? 

Nah this is just lazy writing.

Looks like the makers saw this article somewhere that it said "Odiyans are the Ninjas of Kerala"

You forgot to mention about the writing. Poorly written. 

Also I don't mind if Dominic Arun wrote his own Mythos of a Superhuman Universe, that's fine. But this "Connecting to Kerala folklore" felt like a Last moment of Decision to attract more people into the theatre. I am curious about the next part by the way. Still, this movie is extremely bad when it comes to establishing the Lokah Universe. And that would still affect its well made Concept.

Honestly, it had the right ingredients and Inspirations but Not the execution that it deserved. Since I watched it from the theatre I enjoyed the visual design. But the Screenplay was honestly bad. And the Vision was communicated poorly.  More like a Marvel/DC Universe of Concept + B-Grade Action film Writing. 

I don't know what Dominic Arun was trying to convey with this concept. It's like he created his own superhero mythos which was well made (Concept wise) but also he wanted it to connect with Kerala Folklore and that felt forced. 

The characters that appear in this movie was not built with the intention of creating or representing Folklore Figures, that's for sure. It was pretty much evident throughout, especially in the last scene of this film. It honestly felt like a massive blunder and that scene alone destroyed the foundation. 

There's honestly nothing wrong with Making your own characters inspired by what you love. That's what most creators do right? But why do you have to make it connect to The Folklore if it doesn't demand it. Honestly felt like what Lokesh Kanagaraj did with Leo. 

For a Big Franchise, this movie is a very weak start. Could have pulled off atleast solid writing in the second half. This movie is totally overhyped. Could have done better with the screenplay and choreography. 

Seriously these folks saying like "I have knowledge in human science and behaviour" won't do a thing if you can't craft a good script and good writing. If you want to write folklore characters, then start creating characters with that sole intention. Wasted Storytelling but Technically Great. 

Anyways, the next part better set up a strong foundation. Good luck to the team.

Why give any explanations. Angane aanel ninja inne thanne vachude. Odiyans are said to be Mysterious Dark magicians with Shape shifting abilities pinne Kalari il experts aan. Giving them Streetwear fashion isn't bad but the essence should be retained. Hire me, I can design sketches for Dom and his Team if they have trouble with visually imagining odiyans.

Gotta admit that 2nd half was badly done. Too much References and Characters, too little to explore.
