Vijay enna nadaneyum starneyum poornamaayum use cheyyunnathil Atlee parajayapettu. Chithram poornamaayum Vijay thanne kondu pokunnundenkilum chithrathile Joseph Kuruvila enna role nalkunna freshness flashback episodenu nalkanayilla ennidathu Atlee poornamayum parajayapettu. Samanthakku makeup ittavan Nazriyakku Kalyanathinum Asianet Film Awardsnu Navya Nairkkum makeup ittavare Dronar aayi kanda Ekalavyan aakane chance ulloo. Songsil nalla super lookum, aadyapakuthyle scenesil nalla koora makeupum. Performance wise nannayittundu. Amy Jackson Sareeyil nalla super look, abhinayathe patti prasangichu njanoru adhikaprasangi aakan udheshikkunnilla. Motta Rajendran nannayittundu. Villain aayi vanna director Mahendran pora, dialoguesle power screenil abhinayichu kaanumbol Vijaykku opposite nilkaanulla screen presence nalkunnilla. Prabhu was wasted. Radhika Sarathkumar Saranya Ponvannante nizhal polumayilla, though dialogues at times were good. Baby Nainika kuttythamulla oru kutty on screen, her dialogues were well written. Got sidelined after a point.

Songs onnum oru impact undaakkiyilla, Shankar asst enna label anvardhamaakkan rich aayitteduthittundu mikka songsum, pakshe lacks freshness. Chellakutty Samantha anyaaya dance like never before. Eena Meena is my pick as it perfectly blends with the movie and the way it unravels the plot at parts were good. Thaimai song okke vicharicha effect illa. Raangu Raangu end titlesil ittathu nannayi, otherwise speedbreaker aayene.

Technically angane eduthu parayaan Kerala episodele Camera work & songsle art direction maathram. Baakkiyokke routine stuff.

Screenplay aanu ee padathine ee paruvathilaakkiyathu. End creditsnu munpathe 3 minutes aanu full padam aakki vechathu without a lengthy flashback episode and a reason for Kerala episode okke koduthirunnel vere level aakumaayirunna nalla suspense thrillerne Baasha enna padathinte formulayil mukkiyedutha screenplay aakkiyathil Atlee maathramaanu thettukaaran.

Direction too, oru not mature enough to handle a star like Vijay was evident at many times.
Mothathil enjoyable(could have been better) first half with a super pre interval episode Sand a lacklustre second half

Overall One time watchable movie only, second time kaanan interest thonnippikkilla
