Like an old classic.

They tried Daniels real life in 1928 to catch in celluloid. Again this time Vinu Abraham's novel celluloided by Kamal without leaving the seriousness of the writers portrayal of one of Malayalam films's troubled actor's real life story. A man's tireless journey of only living life in movies and it's turbulence of difficulties in personal as well as societal discouraging fabrics. I think Prithviraj Sukumaran did an excellent acting as well as he followed the director's unending trysts for perfection. Those days film artists are not accepted as in today's ways of fan's craziness. The protagonist being succumbed to life's inabilities of financial constraints tried to came out darkness of frustration in times.

The Director and writer lead the film to be a hit.

Also the cinematography by Venu Isc is outstanding. A real watchable film👍
