The theme is comparatively new in Malayalam movie industry. But the script/story was not quite strong.
So many scary scenes were added just for the sake of it, which in turns makes them not so impactful after all. The script, to an extend, moves in a predictable manner. Funnily, one of the subplots felt better than the main plot. They should've made that subplot the main one.
Performance wise, everyone did a good job, but no one stands out.
Background music was ok. Some songs were not needed.
All in all, this is just a passable movie.

First of all the first have no connection with second half. The horror scene has no effect, the way horror is represents is in sold way(not too old) .The storyline is predictable,I think is pretty much messed up.camera is execellent and background music is also good.the revenge in the story is completely meaning less.
Positive
1) camera is excellent
2)background music
3)acting
4)cast
Negative
1)over drama
2)predictable story
3)horror scene are not good
4)most of the acting is done by child actor(she nailed it)
5)manji varrior is like a gest in this filim
The priest starring mamooty and manju warrier is a decent mystery horror thriller movie which can give a good theatre experience if you watch without any over expectation. The story revolves under fr. Carmen benedict who helps kerala police in some sort of mysterious cases. The major drawback of the film is its predictablity over the suspense and twists which was a key fact of a mystry thriller film. I think this film can satisfy the audience who sit to watch without any over expectation.
Outstanding first half followed by cliché second half. Bgm at its top notch level🔥. International level quality. Interval portion was brilliant. Overall an average experience for me. If you can spent time and money, go for an multiplex theatre for better experience.
