Maju, who has written the screenplay, populates the film with many characters, yet succeeds in lending most of them a distinct identity. But, Perumani's central concern remains the character of Nazar and his impending wedding with Fathima. Nazar is the kind of toxic character who would get suspicious even on seeing an innocuous painting of a pair of deer in his fiancee's bedroom. He would go to great lengths to prove his suspicions. Manesh Madhavan's wide-angle shots are used to lampoon such characters, including the ones who turn the village into a den of superstition. On the other hand, his camera treats Fathima and Ramlath (Radhika Radhakrishnan) with dignity, although their assertions of independence are not portrayed loudly, but as something natural.
