The casting is exemplary, with Prithviraj and Roma Asrani delivering compelling performances. Salim Kumar's presence is a highlight, infusing the comedic scenes with a unique brand of humor. Similarly, Jayasuriya's contributions are noteworthy.

Furthermore, the musical elements, including the background music and songs, are of an exemplary standard. The musical direction is to be commended, particularly to Alex Paul, the music director.

When I went to see this movie I had high hopes due to the fact that I was thoroughly entertained by all earlier Shafi ventures. This was a huge risk taken by Shafi to cast Prithvi in the lead and how it paid off!This movie literally drowned all the other superstar movies.The storyline was impressive and to top that superb performances by all the actors. Salim Kumar who shines in all Shafi films,though not given a meatier role when compared to Maayavi,Pulivaal Kalyaanam etc had the audience in splits with his comical liners.Roma,Jayasurya,Samvrutha,Lalu Alex were very apt for the role but it was Prithiraaj all the way.He is the only one candidate capable to give a tough time to the superstar oriented movie industry in the state.This movie exploits out the best in him.Kudos to Shafi once again!!
