Casually went to watch this movie because my wife wanted to see it. Honestly, I'm a fan of good movies, not particularly of Mohanlal — even his last film, which became the highest-grossing Malayalam movie, didn’t impress me.
But this movie is different. The acting, story, villain, twists, and especially the cinematography are all top-notch. It turned out to be one of the best Malayalam movies I’ve ever watched.
The camera work and classic shots are fabulous. For the first time in many years, I'm actually recommending a movie to my friends — and even pushing them to watch it in theaters!
Mind-blown.
Impressive work by the whole team.
Also, seeing Mohanlal and Shobana acting naturally without the burden of "stardom" was a real treat.
