        Highly overrated!

        The film starts off well, and then collapses miserably in the second half. The premise, the people, their problems really helped make the first half more convincing. The second half was more of a stretched version to prove the mettle of the protagonist, to give the character much needed high, and that leads to a bigger issue of characterisation.

        The protagonist is weak in every aspects, the initial graph builds up very well and then it strays and leads us to a place where I was wondering what was this movie all about. I felt the protagonist did not led me to any particular emotion where I can connect, everything looked superficial, even his qualms, his humiliation, his sudden spark of anger, all of these came out very casual without any empathy element, probably that could lead us to another aspect, the treatment.

        Yes, the treatment worked for me to a large extent, the realistic approach. The treatment somehow loses its grip to convey the noble thought visually owing to poor characterisation and probably lack of some interesting plot points, especially in the second half.

        Performance wise, nothing much to brag about except this should be Shammi's film, he gave a fab performance, the moment his character went offscreen, I felt the film took the downhill.

        This could have been a far better & impactful short film.

        Not bad

        Average but One time watchable, very different kind of movie, slow paced and simple execution. Natural acting by everyone.

        Cinematography was nice, the visuals gave a peaceful feeling. Basil Joseph did a suitable role. The message included in the movie was nice, it shows that even though some people ignore the value of the life of an animal for some other people the animal is so precious like someone part of their family. Story was pretty basic, maybe a bit of an overused kind of idea but it might not be that off putting for everyone. Indrans was the standout performer with his innocent attitude and lighthearted humour.

        Palthu Janwar conquered our hearts!

        On a normal day, we wouldn't care much about a movie focused on animals; however, Palthu Janwar conquered our hearts and drastically changed our perception 😃

        -Lots of odd humor that came especially from Indrans. His awkward gestures and lines were ridiculously hilarious!

        Dileesh Pothan and Shammi Thilakan also nailed it!

        -The photography and color grading were simply top-notch; great accents on the amazing countryside.

        -It was significant to have a view of Molly's baby inside the womb as it accentuated the message that "animal life is also life"

        -The director was intentional in displaying the amount of care and attention the residents showed to their animals.

        When people wouldn't generally care about a sick animal, we saw a group of individuals coming together to help in every way possible

        -Palthu Janwar brought a rather different perspective when it came to work in non-passionate fields, it taught us to adjust to circumstances we have no control over

        -Another spectacular element was the design of the lead actress (Sruthy Suresh) which diverted from the norm

        It's so redundant to always see a lead actor with a crush by his side. Palthu Janwar took on a more gentle and natural approach

        -That kids fashion show in the end credits was 🙌🏾

        Highly overrated seriously 8.8

        Seriously i saw this movie just because of 8.8 rating but this is not true nothing special in this movie get bored in first half i thought second half will be better than first half but it was useless

        Surprisingly good

        Basil Joseph is the main attraction. Every supporting cast did their best at performance including Shammi Thilakan, Johny Antony,Dileesh Pothen, Indrans.

        Many youngsters can relate to protagonist as he is doing a job that doesn't satisfy him.

        One thing that is very appreciable is the length of this movie,if it exceeded 2 hour duration there may be pacing issues but the crew managed to do it under 2 hour

        They should have put more efforts to conclude sub plots rather than the climax because they were very much important for the movie.

        You can leave the theatre with smile on your face.

        As a meat eater I feel hypocritical by saying this 'All lives matter'
