What’s Good: The standout aspect of the film is the stellar performances by the cast, with Sushmitha Bhat, Mammootty, Vineeth, and Gokul Suresh delivering exceptional acting that elevates the narrative.

What’s Bad: The songs in the movie disrupt the flow, particularly the first one, which feels unnecessary. Placed during the character establishment phase, it merely reinforces traits of Mammootty’s character already shown, adding little value. The second song, tied to a classical dance, while important for plot nuance, could have been shorter. However, the reuse of the second song towards the end was engaging and well-placed.
