Asif Ali was in great form enacting the role invested in him with dedication and required perfection.Aparna Balamurali and Sreenivasan were impressive.The forced comic sequences helmed by Dharmajan Bolgatty failed to evoke laughs,but was managed upto an extend by natural humor in the storyline.
Songs and musical score by Deepak Dev were good and complimenting the narrative.The technical crew did their part well.
