It asks us to rethink our priorities

Watching it was good vibes. Loved it.

Watched the movie yesterday. Acting, casting, cinematography, bgm - all good.. but the content is of no positive value. Adding to the negativity n tapping and feeding inner socital fears. Sorry to see so much talent and energy spent into such stories when there exists huge possibilities for societal upliftment.

I went for the movie with high expectations because of the genre n setting. But I didn't find it that exciting while watching. Language was dealt casually- did not carry the time - supposed to be placed in 17 th century. Dialogues are casually suited to the way we here Malayalam today. Not just the words.. but the soul of it didn't reflect the time gap in culture. Liked the editing n cinematography. Set was good. Screenplay coul have been better. Sounds were good. Contrasts well done. Nothing of the music lingers in memory. The actors did well. Especially Siddharth Bharathan. Apt body n face for the character. Natural acting as well. Mammooty's physique -the makeup(except face and palm) did not present the soul of the character. When it comes to acting, he crafted it well, like a master. I don't think Arjun's physique suited the 'poor singer- as presented in the story'. Why was yakshi in the story?! Good ornaments though. Modus operandi of kuttichatan was confusing. Did it need a body? 'Cheppu' was too normal. Good that it was black n white- less distractions. At the same time less scope of explorations. As that door was not opened the task must have been easier.

Very good movie. Feel fresh watching it. Detailed. Excellent casting. Asif Ali at his best!

It was like a meditation, watching the movie. Heartwarming. Loved it. Beautiful from beginning to end. Came out cleansed.
