ganesh-jayaraman's rating
Nor sure why the rating is so less (6.x at the time of this writing)... I loved the film.
Plus 1. Lino's acting was excellent. Once again Excellent 2. The sudden twists in the film (at least two twists. But the first one was WOW!!) 3. The ending was excellent 4. No one is painted in a bad light 5. Special mention - The way Lijo drives the car (which is juxtaposed with the way the male protagonist drives it. Just before the scene where male drives the car, the Lijo character is sounding very humble and that she can't drive on city etc.)
Can be better: 1. It takes a long time to get the story started (some fifteen minutes could have been saved by removing that cooking scene in some one else's house, by removing at least one scene of daily chores - morning till evening etc.). But once the story picks up its pace Is excellent 2. The cinematography was distracting - in terms of the lighting etc.

Few small issues with the story line:
1) The part regarding Bala Saravanan could have been bit more detailed.
2) The mighty manmadhan etc were more of a distraction.
3) few extra details could have been avoided - they ended up being distractions (eg Bala Saravanan fiancé; Hero not telling the heroine that he is a police officer etc) Plus: 1) the end revelation was excellent 2) the acting from both the lead pair was good 3) The story premise is good and clever.
4) The film is technically well made 5) the song on the end credit was well made - but was that necessary?
All in all a decent watch. Intelligent story.

Acting - both Nazriya and Basil Joseph have turned in excellent performance. Free of the supporting actors also have acted well. Basil's acting skill was a reveal for me
Story - A good story; excellent, edge of the seat writing; an excellent "reveal"
Other things - cinematography, editing and music have a good support for the film.
Problems: 0. The biggest problem - This is a grim plot. Even though the story as such turns grim only in the last half hour, the trailer projected this as a comedy thriller... That was a huge let down for me.
1. Why continue the "operations" at the same place when Nazriya is suspecting some thing? He could have shifted to the under construction bakery initially itself.
2. I couldn't understand as to why some tree had to be cut?
3. The final explanation (in montage scenes) could have been bit more elaborate.
4. What happened to the "cooch bihar" transfer??
