Featured reviews
Hard to believe Renji Panicker and PrthiRaj accepted this script to produce a movie. I cannot understand the good reviews of this movie. Watching this movie is a complete mental torture. Even though Prithiraj did good as usual, the script is a complete nonsense. I would highly recommend not to go for this movie unless you want to punish yourself mentally. Extremely upsetting except first 30 minutes. Once the movie is finished, you will feel a major relief.In a place like Scotland , why they did not inform police to rescue the girl?Showing illogical extreme violence in big screen is called " Hollywood style " ? I am really surprised that somebody is there to spend so much money to produce a movie in a foreign country with an extreme idiotic script.
~mild spoilers~
I was skeptical eventhough trailer looked promosing and after watching the film I've only one line to say "technically outstanding but glibly written screenplay marred its potential." Film had all the quality to being branded as an international film however leisurely done pacing and lacking solid substance(yet innovative) shackled its repeated viewing. Coming to the story film dealt with sensitive topics and paganism. Story has many loose end which fail to connect the dots by the end, some characters were not etched out properly. Climax is pretty predictable. Cinematography in this film is on a different level which is exactly why it looks like a non-indian film along with the colour shading they opt for visually stunning scotland which is apt for dark thrillers.
Acting: Prithviraj is in his comfort zone because this genre is his forte. He perfectly played his character. Bhavana after a long time got something to perform and she did it brilliantly. Other actors like Narain ,Lena, Kpac Lalitha, Misthi & Rahul madhav done their part well. I've to appreciate the casting director for finding capable foreign actors, all the foreigners played their role with absolute brilliance. Thumps up! Songs were decent and Bgm at places remind me of deathnote series. Film should have been trimmed atleast by 20 minutes. Had good concept and great potential if used wisely. Rating: 6.3/10

Subject matter lacking authenticity and don't entertain the audience much. Must have wasted so much money for this script. It could have been better

When I have first watched the teaser, I was very excited about the film.
There are some scenes which could have been avoided to save time, but every movie has some of those..but it's Very beautiful movie, I really enjoyed it with my family.It has fantastic background score and emotions helps in maintaining the pace of the movie.
Do watch it!

Different kind of genre for the malyalam cinema, kind of creepy and disturbing with cult devil worshipping and all. The Scottish settings provided the quaint background required for this type of movie. The movie I felt was 30 minutes too long at 2 hrs 40 minutes. I feel what needed to be said could have been done in short without the unnecessary drag, the ending though was apt and touching. Prithviraj refreshingly did not engage in his usual overacting and played a subdued character. Bhavana and the rest of the cast provided the supporting role required of them. I wouldn't call this a family entertainer due to it's dark content; but for the niche audience, looking for a change from the usual movies.
