I came to know that the film was released only because director called the father of a person who was reviewing the money, there was no promotion at all, there were only 100 people in the theatre, on the fourth day of the film's release. There was no expectation and the same was the case with a 30-40 minutes in the first half of the film, and then it felt a little better, by the time the interval. Then the second half had no words , the making that looked like a Hollywood movie, the scenes, the film that was watched without any expectations and at the end of the day i got to see people standing up and clapping their hands, in a word it was a great film.

Absolute waste of money. Don't waste your money. Credits of the movie was literally the best part. The director has also threatened one of the honest movie reviewers with death threats and worse which is available to see on YouTube now. Aneesh Anwar should spare public of such a waste of time and money. He has done absolutely zero research and has just shot the movie using a camera and crew without any thought involved. Lot of scenes where even common sense was lacking. Guess common sense is not so common after all especially when it comes to this director. In short, spend your money somewhere else.

The introduction was fine, but as the story progressed, everything collapsed like a house of cards. From the trailer, we all knew that this is going to be a survival thriller so we all wait for that point in the movie where they ends up in a situation like that and there should be a proper logic for circumstances that happens afterwards and that's where the creators should put more emphasis. Emotional connection is important and the movie should have a proper storyline to take the audience with the story. This movie lacked everything and way too much time was taken for character development in the first half which was unnecessary.

The producion design was okay though.

Very poor direction, character development is less. Except for 2 actors all others are belonging to one community. For a malayalam film this is a travesty. Still the story is nice, decent attempt. But still its a C grade movie. The lead looks like Prithviraj. Lead actress hardly has any scenes. Few known actors, dunno why they they signed up for this film.

Please keep Logic aside, characters behaviour defies logic, if you are lost in desert you conserve water, if there is a desert storm you cover your head/nose.

The characters seem educated but behaves like they are stupid in crisis.

Locations are nice, good desert scenes hence watch the movie if you have nothing else to watch. Maybe watch this for a perfect example of how a movie should not be made.
