Even an acclaimed writer with an ensemble cast cannot get away with trash. The proof is this very movie.
Why Prithviraj would choose to act in such an abysmally plotted script leaves me befuddled.
For a fine actor and one of the flag bearers of Malayalam film industry, to portray that lousy character; lumbering around with his perennial swag and loud mouthing nothings as if they held some deeper meanings only to see everything fall flat when the foolhardy master plan (as if?) is revealed evokes despair as much as astonishment if not a hee-haw as well.
It is indeed trying to sit through this tedious stretch of visuals aimed at but fails incredibly to building a tense narrative; and I'd suggest an evening dine out as a pleasant alternative.

So I happened to watch this film in theatres and was very hyped for it for multiple reasons. But I was surely dissapointed by the final product which just turned out to be an average flick. So this film has multiple layers but none of them are able to blend properly while some feel forced. The screenplay by Murali Gopy is average at best and nothing else. First half is engaging and you won't feel much lag mainly due to some great performances. Second Half starts with a lagging monologue from Prithviraj but later the film gains pace after sometime. Talking about film's performances, Siddique, Saiju Kurup and Srikant Murali are the standout performers. Prithviraj is great especially in the emotional sequences but some places I felt his dialogue delivery was not convincing. Indrajith was OK in this movie and had nothing much to do. Vijay Babu was just being Vijay Babu. He showcased a good performance in first half but in the second half it felt like artificial acting. Hannah Reji Koshy and Isha Talwar have nothing to do in the movie. The film faults mainly at writing department. I liked the backstory and the emotional depth could be felt but the present timeline could have been much better. The characters were not written and explored properly except Siddique's, Saiju Kurup's and Prithviraj's characters. The film's best momment is it's climax and that's it. The Music by Murali Gopy is forgettable and the Title track is just bad and boring. Cinematography and production values are rich. The direction by Rathish Ambat can be complimented but still the writing let's all of it down. The movie can be seen for it's performances, first half, emotional depth, Climax and the visuals. Its watchable, at least.
One more movie with a touch of propaganda against Hindus especially higher caste . Actor saiju kuruppu who does a role of a higher caste potty is trolled and name shamed in the movie . Also this movie shows that female entrepreneurs or wife's of male entrepreneurs promote their ventures by "honey" trapping affluent business men . Lol the museum scenes were the biggest joke. Mocked North Indians , Arnab Goswami and showed as Hindus illegally occupying properties of mslims. Lol , it's there reverse that's happening in reality with fundings from Middle East . Only positive in this movie was Indrajit's cameo appearance. Avoid it.
Not a fun film, the film tries portray a certain high class life, and pettiness that some of them carry. The recently found out mollywood predator was a good choice for the character, cause the stories about him and the character in the film seemed so in sync. So the film has a true seed in character development. I don't know if fanboys/girls will attempt to put a philosophical lens to film, and will try to rescue the film by giving a cult status. If they do, I hope no one will fall for it.
Tells a biased story about cunning Brahmin betraying innocent Muslim. Look at the first sentence I've written. I can clearly say many gave less rating because of that plot. Everyone becomes separated when it comes to religion. I'm not going into much. Let me discuss about the film. Story was week. Making was great. Acting also was nice. Climax was okay. Too much unwanted scenes which makes audiences to get bored. Lagging, I was time forwarding most of the time. Flashback was too lengthy, which they could've finished within 15 minutes. Although that's it. Making wise I'm satisfied. Highly not recommended but check out if you wish.
