The story is set in 1988. Haider who worked for Mumbai underworld develops a plan to steal diamonds from a racket based in Kohinoor textile store in Cherupuzha run by Mamman and Xavier. He hires Nicholas and Freddy from Kochi for the theft. They in turn make a sub-contract to a small-time thief, Aandikunju, who gets his friend, Louis, involved to steal for the group. Louis as a 1980s characterized youth has admiration for the underworld dons and is highly fascinated by Mammootty's character, Tharadas, from the popular film Athirathram and Mohanlal's character, Sagar Alias Jacky, from the popular film Irupatham Noottandu, and wants to be a successful smuggler like them. The team runs into various obstacles during the robbery. In the end, both Haider and Louis' teams take a share of the diamonds by risking life.
Malayala Manorama rated 2.75 out of 5 stars and concluded "Kohinoor is a fun-filled thriller and has all the elements of an entertainer, with a pinch of romance, friendship and wicked twists" and gave special mention to cinematography and lead performances especially for Indrajith's screen presence and dialogue delivery.[2] Filmibeat.com rated 2.5 out of 5 stars and described as "A well-packed entertainer with the right elements of humour, thrill and nostalgia", giving special mention to Indrajith's performance, also cinematography, editing, art and costumes which helps to create the ambience of the 80s.[3] Indiaglitz rated 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "It has a liner narration and what would stead the movie in good stead is the comic touch throughout. 'Kohinoor' has been able to make it till the far end and not flatter halfway".[4]
The Hindu stated "The proceedings before interval, which focusses on the planning of the heist, are marked by aimlessness. Things pick up post-interval especially in the long sequence set inside the textile shop. The quick twists and turns come together in the end to make an average heist movie in the end".[5]
All the songs are composed, arranged, and produced by Rahul Raj. The lyrics were written by B. K. Harinarayanan. Muzik 247 was the music label. The audio launch was held in Kochi on 8 September. Apart from the cast and crew, film personalities, such as Mammootty, Sibi Malayil, Kunchacko Boban etc. were also present. Mammooty and Sibi Malayil together launched the audio by unveiling the CD. The songs were streamed live on Muzik247's YouTube channel at the event.[6] The official launch of the production house, Adams World of Imagination, was held coinciding with the audio launch function. It was launched by Mammootty.[7]

The evergreen number was brought to life by Vijay Yesudas to the refrain of violin notes that surged forth like a river coursing down rock crevices. 2015 was a year which showed how well aligned is the name Vijay Yesudas with the musical charm of melody.
Please do not say that 2015 was the year of Vijay. This is merely a continuation. It is true that some of the melodies I sang this year struck a chord with the audience. Even more satisfying is the thought that seven years of struggle in my career is now fetching me the reward. It was never a smooth journey. These good songs of 2015 are a reflection of those harrowing experiences I had been through. I am elated on hearing reviews on the radio in these past few days about the best five or best ten songs of last year. It is certainly a heady feeling to see more than one of my songs finding spots in these lists. Is it not a recognition that any singer would yearn for? That is all. As far as I am concerned it is absolutely true that the past year was a good one.
I was able to render many nice melodies last year. It is the onus of a playback singer to imbibe the spirit of the movie situation and effectively execute the song in the music imparted to him by the composer. The biggest recognition comes when the audience judges that he has done it right. Malare and Hemanthamen are two songs that lent me immense self-satisfaction of being able to fulfill my responsibility as a singer fully well. Both are songs I tremendously enjoyed singing. I never thought they would become such hits while singing. The memories of recording these are still fresh in the mind.
I do not understand how songs are chosen. Recently, I had a long talk with a taxi driver while on the way to the airport. He told me that I had chosen good songs and it is a good thing. It is just a misconception that people have. It is impossible to choose a good song for the simple reason that every song is a new experience for the singer. We cannot assess a song as successful or not when called to sing or even after the singing is over. All that we can do is hope for the best.
New voices and new composers of music should step in. Novelty is always for the better. You cannot call it a challenge. As far as I am concerned I have never felt the need to sing better than someone else. I do not believe that such thinking would result in better singing. Our songs can reach the masses only if we display quality. Opportunities have a way of seeking out the talented. All that is required is to sing the songs that come to us to the best of our abilities. Competition should not be allowed to corrupt the mind and opportunities should be used to the full.
Surely. There will be a new movie. I am very fond of acting. The villain character of Maari was well received by the Tamil audience. Whenever they meet me they enquire about my new movie in the same way that they ask about my song. Hence I am doing a new film.
