"Who was that man?" David Ninan asks his daughter Sara while sitting at the beach. The girl keeps silence for a moment and runs a few meters before kneeling down on the sand. Perhaps, this intriguing question lets the viewers' imagination go wild while watching "The Great Father". The opening sequence itself heralds the impending hide-and-seek game that creates the thriller mood to the film.
Haneef Adeni, in his maiden outing as a filmmaker, appears to be maintaining a balancing act in handling the plot and the stardom of Mammootty throughout the film. When Adeni hinges on the star value, the narration loses its gravity, derailing the whole plot.
With succinct dialogues and stylish appearance, David Ninan is a tailor-made character for Mammootty. Sara (Baby Anikha), a jovial schoolgirl, is very close to her father David Ninan, a builder in the city. She believes that her dad is a super hero, and she used to tell her classmates about David's adventures.
An unexpected incident in the life of Sara affects David and his wife Michelle (Sneha), a doctor, badly. Sara is struggling to come out of that harrowing experience. Meanwhile, similar incidents occur in other parts of the state. Now David tries to trace the perpetrator by himself. In another route, a CB-CID officer Andrews (Arya) also searches for the serial killer.
