Please, don't be fooled by the pathetic vote given by the users. The film is the exact opposite of that. Look, the film is about a lonely man trying to rescue a deaf and dumb child from the clutches of two killers. If you have seen the film, Mercury Rising by Bruce Willis and liked it, you will certainly like this one too. Mammootty gives a fantastic performance. The emotional attachment between the character played by Mammootty and the child is heartwarming. Suresh Gopi and Babu Antony as the killers also do justice. Suresh Gopi in his 'Non-superstar' role is brilliant. And the direction is also good. The movie is a thriller and you will be thrilled, no doubt. And nothing else, just watch it.

Acting was good, plot was a bit 1-dimensional. The reason the movie didn't do well was due to the depressing ending. Mammotty as the weepy, grief stricken husband/father was a bit of a downer. The kid was excellent, even though he had no lines but he was very expressive. Nadiya didn't have much of a role which was disappointing. The murderous assassin was quite effective. That's the probably the reason why the assassin and the kid reprised their role again in the hindi version "Hatya". The Hindi & Tamil version did well as the movies had a happy ending. Even if this movie wouldn't figure on the top of my watchlist, I would still watch it at some point.

It's a nice movie I enjoyed watching. A very clean movie that every bit can be watched with all family members. Lovely story and the incidents are well knitted. Everyone has done their part well including that kid. Bit emotional in a positive way due to the kid and storyline.
