The screenwriting's ability to craft and sustain suspense, particularly during pivotal moments in the script, is remarkable and shall serve as a valuable lesson for aspiring writers.

Aside from the initial thirty minutes, the story captivates with consistent developments in the plot.

Whether it's the characters getting involved in a game of cat and mouse or some significant revelations that propel the story forward, the movie tend to excel at keeping our attention in check the whole time.

Having said that, I would have preferred a darker tone. The subject matter tackled is quite sensitive and calls for a more serious approach.

While I liked the overall story, the inclusion of humorous elements, even if they lean towards the dark side, felt misplaced given the weight of the themes being addressed over here.

A must-watch thriller with a unique touch! Basil impresses with his distinct acting, and Nazriya delivers a balanced, natural performance without overacting. All the actors have performed exceptionally well, adding depth to the story. The movie stands out with its stunning green visuals, superb locations, and an unexpected twist that keeps you hooked. While the screenplay has a slight lag in pacing, it doesn't overshadow the overall experience. The direction, combined with the atmospheric setting and engaging plot, creates a captivating cinematic journey. The film's fresh storytelling and compelling performances make it a memorable watch for thriller lovers.

An intriguing mystery thriller reflecting a social mishap through an alluring storyline.

The story revolves around a closely knitted middle class neighborhood and the eccentric events that happen when an ambiguous family joins them.

The writer trio has conceived the brainchild and triumphed in executing it spectacularly. The visual narration has engrossed the audience to the screen forming a strong backdrop for progress of the story. The innocence and care by the fellow neighbourhood is evident through brilliant casting and sound screenplay.

The first half leaves an eerie room for skepticm, anxiety in the viewers before the intermission. The latter half moves lethargically giving the audience an open pass for arriving at many story conclusions but leverages back on track with a surprising twist in the final 20 minutes leaving a lasting impression that reminds me of the phrase "The tiger leaps two steps back not of fear,but to attack". The tail end sequence will give answers to all the confusions and misinterpretations showing the deadly significance of 'Karma'.

Splendid performance by Nazriya as the bold mischievous young lady marks the ideal response for her brilliance in script selection and the time intervals in her filmography. Basil has effortlessly done the strange characterisation through his witty mannerisms and actions. Sidharth Bharathan has delivered a subtle performance as a nerdy doc. Impressive performances from Akhila Bhargavan,Pooja Mohanraj,Merin Mary Philip,Kottayam Ramesh,Deepak Parambol,Gopan Mangat,Manohari Joy & Jaya Kurup.

Sookshma Darshini will be marked as the hottest golden feather in Happy Hours banner. Brilliant frames by Sharan Velayudhan added with Christo's hooking BGM's and Chaman's meticulous trimming has given an engaging experience. Srik Varier also deserves appreciation for the color effects and the darker tones lifting the mood of the story.

A must theatre experience for a gripping and sound story narration with spellbound performances.

The movie was good. A woman living with her husband and having friends in the neighborhood starts to notice something suspicious about their newly arrived neighbor. Determined to uncover the truth, she digs deeper and finds herself entangled in a mysterious situation. Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph delivered outstanding performances, bringing their characters to life with great depth and nuance. The film is filled with unexpected twists that keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at times, the music felt somewhat cartoonish, which, in my opinion, detracted from the overall thrill and suspense of the film. Despite this, I couldn't find any other negatives. It's a nice movie with a captivating storyline and excellent acting.
