The film begins with an animated sequence that explains the history of the gold coin, which was minted by the Portuguese in Goa and has a picture of St. George slaying a dragon on one side and a double barrel gun on the other. The coin is said to bring bad luck to anyone who owns it.
The story then shifts to the present day, where a gangster named Pancho (Prithviraj) and his friend Vinci (Indrajith) are in possession of the coin. They plan to sell it to a mafia boss named Sagar (Vijay Babu), who is also interested in marrying Pancho's sister Laila (Isha Sharvani). However, another gang led by Biscuita (Arya) and his brother Tony (Asif Ali) also want the coin and try to steal it from Pancho and Vinci.
In the meantime, Pancho and Vinci also have to deal with their girlfriends Ruby (Swathi Reddy) and Rosy (Rachana Narayanankutty), who are unaware of their criminal activities. They also encounter a mysterious assassin named Lobo (Sunny Wayne), who is hired by Sagar to kill Biscuita and Tony. The film follows the chaotic events that ensue as the coin changes hands among various characters.
Double Barrel is a film that tries to be different from the usual Malayalam cinema fare. It is a homage to the spaghetti westerns, Tarantino films and Guy Ritchie movies. It has a non-linear narrative, multiple subplots, quirky characters, dark humor, stylized violence and a retro soundtrack. The film is visually stunning, with vibrant colors, dynamic camera angles and impressive animation sequences. The film also boasts of an ensemble cast of talented actors who deliver their roles with flair and charisma.
However, the film also suffers from some major flaws that prevent it from being a satisfying watch. The film lacks a coherent plot and a clear direction. The film tries to juggle too many characters and subplots, but fails to give them enough depth or relevance. The film also relies too much on style over substance, resulting in a superficial and shallow experience. The film's humor is also inconsistent and often falls flat. The film's climax is also disappointing and anticlimactic.
Overall, Double Barrel is a film that has some merits, but also many drawbacks. It is a film that may appeal to some viewers who appreciate its experimental nature and artistic vision, but may also alienate others who expect a more conventional and engaging story. The film is a bold attempt, but not a successful one.
