Imman's music has already topped the chart. There are wonderful melodious tracks and a foot-tapping number is a bonus. Hearing the songs with visuals is a treat to watch.

Prabhu Solomon has taken the best out of his team. Be it from his actors or his technicians, the director's vision for the nativity is seen in the film. However, the script loses grip in a few places and he could have handled the script part in a better way.
