The movie was quite good, with Aishwarya delivering a stellar performance. She fully embraced her character, bringing depth and authenticity to her role. However, Shine Tom Chacko’s portrayal felt misaligned with the character he was meant to play. Instead of convincingly portraying a madman, he came across more like a drug addict—whether intentionally or not. To be honest, the role didn’t suit him at all. His performance felt overly dramatic, reminiscent of the exaggerated acting style seen in old Malayalam drama films. Every time he appeared on screen, it disrupted the film’s overall tone rather than adding to its impact.
On the other hand, the rest of the cast delivered commendable performances. Surabhi stood out with an exceptional performance, adding depth to the film. Also Swasika’s acting felt natural and realistic, making her character believable.
Overall, the movie was a refreshing watch. The storyline was unique and set itself apart from the usual tropes of Malayalam horror films. We haven’t seen many films like this in the industry before. The narrative carried an element of nostalgia, reminding us of the eerie folk tales we grew up hearing as children. Watching those childhood stories come alive on screen was both engaging and a delightfully nostalgic experience.
