Cast and Performance

Fahadh Faasil's performance is the saving grace of the movie. The actor steals the show with his magnificant performance. Renji Panicker and Joju George, who appears in the pivotal roles, delivers a decent performance.

Niveda Thomas, who plays the female lead, doesn't have much to perform; but played her part well. Rest of the cast including Sunil Sukhada, Sashi Kalinga, Kochu Preman and Chembil Ashokan are fine in their repective roles.

Script and Direction

The script Anil Narayanan, have an ample fun element; but fails to keep the movie engaging. The much predictable storyline turns the movie boring in the second half.

Debutant director Santhosh Nair manages to make the movie watchable; even with an average script.

Technical Aspects

The cinematography by Neil D`Cunha manages to make the movie look colourful and adds life to the not-so-interesting plot. Editing by Manoj is just fine.

Songs and Background Score

Prashant Pillai fails to impress with the songs; but excels with the background score.

Verdict

A one-time watchable average flick.
