Thuruppugulan offers a blend of comedy and action, with a screenplay that attempts to balance humor and thrills. The story is straightforward, relying heavily on Mammootty's star power and comic timing. The pacing is uneven; the first half is relatively engaging with a mix of situational comedy and character introductions, but the second half tends to drag with repetitive sequences and predictable plot twists.

The screenplay lacks depth, often resorting to formulaic tropes common in commercial Malayalam cinema of the time. While the film tries to keep the audience entertained through its comedic elements, the narrative coherence suffers, and the climax feels rushed.

Musically, the film does not stand out significantly. The absence of a credited music director suggests that songs and background score were not a major highlight. The background score is functional but fails to elevate the mood or add substantial emotional weight to the scenes. Overall, the film is a typical entertainer that caters primarily to fans of the lead actor and the genre.

Mammootty: Delivers a charismatic and energetic performance, effectively handling both action and comedy sequences.

Sneha: Provides a decent supporting role with limited scope.

Innocent: Offers comic relief with his usual timing and expressions.

Devan: Plays the antagonist with a convincing presence.

Jagathy Sreekumar: Contributes to the humor with his seasoned comic skills.
